Just Genetics or Grower Error?

One of my auto ultimates kept that patchy look throughout its whole life. At one time I considered culling it as she was literally half the size of other plants of the same age(she broke the soils surface with a yellowed cotyledon which slowed early growth). By the end of her life I remembered why I hate culling plants, as she got bigger than every other plant even in far less sunlight than the other larger plants..
 
Steps I've taken...increased RH up to about 50%, moved the fan a bit as to barely rustle the leaves at one end of oscillation and raised the light 4". The light now sits 26" above her. I gave her a good watering last night of ph6.5 tap water that sat out a few days, woke up this morning to some pretty new growth on the secondary nodes and all leaves nicely reaching up praising the light. Even the newest growth has the same slight discoloration leading this noob to believe it's a genetic anomaly. /shrugs. Maybe this ugly duckling will turn into a swan.
You all have been an enormous help. I appreciate all the knowledge. :worship:
 
I do think it may be variegetion. Could you provide pictures as the plant pushes new growth? It is a good sign that there is new growth and that it is showing otherwise healthy signs. It would be really unlikely to be any defiency if your soil pH is ok and you have given reasonable dosage of nutrients.
 
@MedGrower good to met you sir. Here's a pic of the central growth with discoloration.
