I know it's trippy huh? The white appears to be the outside edges of the first serrated leaves...it's like pure white too. Maybe I have some sort of albino or varigated oddity. In any event I'll let it go for awhile in the jiffy pot but I doubt if I'll give up any prime real estate in the real pots for it. I can only fit five pots in my flowering closet and no room for weaklings.
