Could this be Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV)?

I think one of my plants may have TMV, but overall growth does not seem to be affected. Strange leaves (mostly on the top of plant) and red stems. I'm in 3rd week of flower, in coco. My other plants have not been affected.

Can anyone confirm? If you think its something else, please let me know. Thanks

Has there been any confirmed tests done on a cannabis plant that confirms TMV or HMP (hemp mosaic virus) I’ve never seen any credible tests as yet confirmed for TMV HMV etc.

Usually it’s just a guy knows a guy who had it once and said this is what it looks like?

I’ve had variegation like this before!

No tobacco is grown near me and I do not smoke any tobacco whatsoever gave up in 2015.

Usually I only suffer with it every now and again when I’m trying something new in seeds.

As far as I’m lead to believe from my own research it’s a perticular strain that displays similar mosaics. Maybe a gorilla strain?

No it's not. I've seen that in numerous strains. I don't know what causes it but it's not TMV.

Variegation. I have few dj short blueberries found same thing. Did you just now notice it ? Mines done it from the start Few of the new leaves turn out that way. Got few that’s even pure white spots.

No, it's been happening for awhile now, it seems like it's becoming a bit more prominent since they are growing faster during stretch. The strain is Bubba Kush.

the only time I saw leaves like that was when I started phing my water.
I never did it again, and I never saw it again.

Thats just an extreme example of variegation that has been bred into the plant.
You can see the similar curling on leaves, and how it affects one side with the trait is the point

Have you confirmed your pH variables? What are you feeding...your leaves are pretty green, is it possible you're antagonizing an element by feeding too much of another? I don't believe what you're seeing is variegation.

Yes, PH in and out is fine. None of my other plants are effected - just this one plant. It hasn't impacted growth rate at all, so at this point I'm assuming it's either genetic or some sort of mutation.

Interesting for sure, and a fair assumption. If it finishes out on a good note and it's still showing the anomaly by all means share a pic with us; I would think it's pretty rare. Good luck.
