hey there,

Here are a few pics of some fucked up growth, it on every growth tip of every plant. Looks like in gonna have to chop the whole lot as they are autos and don't have time to battle broad mites.
Shush a shame as it been my best ever grow so far! They have grown amazing.
Any way, if you need details... Let me know. Here are some pics for now tho.

NO SUCH THING AS TMV IN CANNABIS!

Doesn't even look close to a mosaic damage anyway!

Cheers for your reply. The leaves don't appear to be chewed, it's more like they are growing deformed. IV made the decision to destroy them all and start again. Such a shame, such is life.

Cheers man

Doesn't look like typical broad mite damage or mosaic virus. Make sure you you give everything a really deep clean to be safe.

I had put it down to some kind of virus but still not sure. Oh, I will defiantly be giving everything a deep clean. Just ordered my new seeds.. Excited for the next attempt.. Such a shame about this one.. Gotta keep moving forwards.
Cheers

Hey man, i saw a post like this a few months back, where in his case it was a cricket that only ate the ends of leaves. Keep an eye out for those. They are master hiders it took the guy taking his whole setup apart and looking through every single thing in there. Could be another type of bug possibly too. I would do a very thorough investigation for any types of bugs.

Not trying to hijack anyone's post but I'm having the same issue. My plants are indoors. I've checked with a usb scope and have not found any bugs. Could this be some kind of virus. Any help would be appreciated

Something bigger than a virus or broad mites, Dr. Who is dead-on in saying there's no such thing as TMV infecting Cannabis. (Flushing is pointless, too, not to beat an off-topic dead horse)

A cricket, dog, a very small herbivorous lizard (lol), or a cat would be my top suspects. I know it doesn't look "chewed" but that's not always a clue, it looks like physical damage was done to the leaves when they were young, to me.

I'd probably just treat it like a healthy plant, not worry much, and keep a close eye on it for more clues. Good luck.

Wait a minute! That has to be a cricket, or something like it. Are you sure you don't have a cat? Does your roommate have one? Any Chuckwallas running around the house?

Not tmv. No such thing. I wish it would stop already or i could find out where all these people are getting this idea. Probably the same people that manufacture mites and drop them from the sky.

Looks like the first guy has broad mites. Look at the new growth. Its horrible. Thin, spindles that look diseased. Who knows though with autos, could be some strange genetic expression if theyre all the same strain. But if your not flowering id bomb the room. I may get some flack over this comment, but id bomb and then get a once a week spray to follow up with. Only because i dont know if preditory mites would live after a bombing.

Second guy (the thread stealer :lol:) looks like he has an insect of worm eating his leaves, along with some whorling leaves. Nothing to worry about.

Def not mosaic but me and you have talked about this I wish I could find some of the pics I swear I've seen tmv in full force but this is nothing like it and people try and diagnose it for everything lol and ours had purple and yellow curling leaves without trichome or terpene or any type of flowering development during flower. The plants would all have crazy colors and only 2-3 strains had it but it hurt yield killed any chance of actual trichomes and bud was just non-existent.

That's fine say what you want your gonna explain how 3 strains over a year all have the same symptoms all with curling colored leaves purple yellow and red streaks thru them with no trichome production or terpene production and is passed on thru the plant for over 18 months before we even thought about tmv. Your talking 180 plants cut down every 9 days please don't try me on this I've talked to @Dr. Who extensively about it. There is no other explanation and we did the test and it came back positive.

Only thing that helped was using axium a protein that boosts the immune system. It didn't cut anything as there were always signs of it on the plants with the colorful curling leaves on the same 3 strains in a room of 20 diff strains and we never transfered it do to using clean razors and scissors Everytime we would cut or clone anything. We had hp-13 which was the infected clone we took in at about 3 months into the grow. None of the plants having an issue. Oir master grower blew it off sayong not real till we started seeing spread to other beginning strains. We trashed all but the 3 clone only's that we couldn't find. From then on out only used clean scissors and razors and it never spread any further but every round those 3 plants during the cloning phase would throw out colorful curling leaves and then during flower we would get full plants full of all colors with what looks like should be bud growth but just heavy leafy growth with no smell no trich production no resin production nothing. If it wasn't for axium those plants would of gotten trashed. Axium just keeps it at bay
