Possibly having an issue, though I am not too sure if it is an issue or is purely genetics.

Setup:
4x4 grow tent
RDWC System (Aeros IV Master system)
Temp:24-26C (18C Lights off)
Water temp: 19-23C
Humidity: 35-40%
ppm: 600 (ish)
pH: 6.0 to 6.3
Nutrients: Full line Remo nutrients + a Silica additive +Great White
Water: Tap water with ppm of 140-180. Air stones in the water for 2 days before adding nutrients.
Lighting: 2 x 600W Viparspectra LEDs
Circulation: 4 x 6" fans

Strain/type: Cheese Auto (I hope) from Original Sensible Seeds (was a freebie)
Age: 39 days (still in veg - no sign of pre-flowers or Pistils yet)
Lights are currently @ 24"

As you can see from the picture, there is some odd coloration going on.
To my mind, it doesnt SEEM like a deficiency as it is not affecting the entire leaf, and is not affecting every leaf of the same age, but it IS on about 90% of the leaves.
The pant otherwise seems healthy and as bushy as hell with a monster root ball.
Ignore the leaf curl - took me a few minutes to take the photo after cutting the leaf off.

If there is no other visible symptoms and the plant is vital I think it is very safe to say this is variegation. No worries, it just looks funky.

Sometimes there may be this type of patchy leaves when there are issues with the roots, damage etc. but given that you don't have serious afflictions to the plant, it is not that. Nice picture perfect leaf otherwise with absolutely no signs of tip burn or nothing. Very good.

Now all I need is for the damned thing to start Flowering :D
 
:pass: hey Med!.... Boradan...we see this color break fairly often, seems genetic in origin... some grow out of it, others don't,.. some plants grow fine, others don't,... you seem okay otherwise, so carry on!
