Lovable was not hacked



I have NEVER seen this in my 13+ years gardening! This is an albino cucumber, in the sense that it has a genetic mutation to either not synthesize chlorophyll or not even produce chlorophlasts (the things that synthezize chlorophyll) You can tell it's a true albino because the stem is also pure white. It's smaller than the rest of the cucumber seedlings as well... You might be wondering how it was even able to survive to this point - don't plants need chlorophyll to photosynthesize? YES, they do - but seeds have a little trick up their sleeves in the fact that they have endosperm, which is basically energy from the parent plant that produced the seed it "packs" into the seed to help them get through the first 1-2 weeks of life It's highly unlikely this plant will survive another week, so it's VERY cool to catch this phenomenon!










Guys, what's stopping you from obtaining this physique?
