Leaves are mottling, but otherwise healthy. Has anyone seen this before?

I’ve only seen this on forums a few times and each person noted a pH swing when it happened. This could very will be the issue. Maybe you didn’t mix you solution well enough and or a false reading of pH.
Aside from that it never persisted so I wouldn’t worry much.
Hope this helps.

Interesting. have not seen this first hand before. Have heard lots about it in various forms and word of moth. Most of it comes down to it looks pretty but tends to be an under performer in terms of yield.
Good Luck!

Leaf Spots, weak color, and leaf ripplePlease help me identify possible causes of this: small spots on leaves, minor color fade (not burn) along edges, and strange 'ripple' effect.
A user commented that he thought my plants looked deficient but hasn't elaborated further yet.

Calcium, lock out?Hello, it looks like calcium, P, or K issues. Maybe pH lock out. I flushed last week and followed with nutes. Likely last nutes this week followed by a week or two of flushing before harvest. Please look at leaves and let me know what I should do as I end off this plant.4 years ago

What went on here??This is an Orange Sherbet I grew in Happy Frog with the FloraGrow series. I harvested early because I thought the plant was dying, and couldnt seem to stop it by flushing. Does this look normal for a plant being flushed out? Should I have waited?Leaves. Color - Mottling

Does this look like minor leaf burn, too many nutrients or something else?I believe two of the plants developed minor leaf burn. One has white streaks on the middle and outer portions of several leaves, and the other has a rust, reddish stripe parallel to the center of several leaves. I’ve attached pictures above. Thoughts are greatly appreciated.4 years ago

Light green "splotches" on leavesHi,
I've noticed light green "splotches" on my leaves which I'm having trouble matching with images of leave problems. Doesn't appear to be impacting on growth and the issue is only visible on close-up so it might just be me being over concerned, but I'd be grateful for advice!Week 2
