TB-- did this color break start from day one? I'd like to see more pics, a top shot and leaves that are showing any sort of distortion,... we see this color break fairly often, usually it's nothing serious, sometimes they grow out of it, but looks like yours won't at this point,.. seems to be growing OK? I hate to bring it up, and it's why I want more pics,... but another rare possibility is a viral infection which is seriously bad news! Worse, the only way to tell is with lab testing or special DIY kits from Agfia,.. and those are very type specific, meaning they test for only one viral strain, not multiple,.. use the wrong kit, and you get a negative result only for that type virus, but may still have a virus!

... so usually it's dump it right away, and start mass sterilization protocols,...infection can come from anywhere, beside the seed itself... Since it Mephisto, I have confidence in their practices,.. but bugs can transfer it, soil, even smokers handling tobacco that's infected,...
