Trichocereus Splotches

Hey guys, I noticed this morning that several of my small trichocereus are displaying yellow splotches and am wondering if this is something I should be concerned about? They seem happy enough, and have been growing well, so I am hoping that this is nothing serious.
Thanks

That looks somewhat like variegated growth... Did it appear suddenly? Does it seem to be spreading?

Never seen that before. Did you recently feed?

My trichs have this on some of the faster growing ones. They seem healthy too.

Yeah that's kinda what I was thinking regarding variegated growth. I only just noticed it this morning as I've been away frequently as of late. The one in the photo is displaying the most splotches, while the others are much more subtle and I wouldn't have noticed if I didn't go looking for it. I moved them to their new spot in the garden a few months ago and I didn't notice the splotches then, so I am not entirely sure when it started to appear.
I have a good couple dozen various trichocereus in the same spot, but so far the splotches are only appearing on the 6 pachanoi matucana, which kinda makes me think/hope it's not disease? I tend to feed them seaweed solution every couple of weeks and it's been about two weeks since their last feed, I was gonna feed them today, but I am kinda hesitant until I know what's going on with them.
I'll keep an eye on them and post some more photos if anything changes.

How are your temperatures at the moment? This could be a bit of heat stress.

Well it has been quite warm lately (35ish Celsius or 95ish Fahrenheit) and our sun down here is known to be quite harsh. They seemed happy enough until now, so I figured they were doing fine, but maybe not?

I do see this sometimes here in England usually when the greenhouses have gotten rather hot and airflow is minimal, with younger or thinner plants being more prone. It has never cause a problem with any, leaving no scars for me, your pic showing about the extent of what my plants had.

Ah, good to know, makes sense that it is only appearing on my smaller ones. I'll see if I can't find them a slightly shadier spot in the garden and keep an eye on them.
Thanks for the input guys, it is much appreciated. =]
