Has anyone ever had Tobacco Mosaic Virus?? I had never even heard of this until about five months ago. Dude at the hydro shop hadn't heard of it so I didn't pay it much attention. But now I'm second guessing.

If anyone has ever had it...is this what it looks like?
if so, is this what it looks like? Pics taken in Veg...I'm currently in flower.

Yep that is the stuff, sorry to tell you that. Usually on a full grown plant it won't be fatal or even affect yield very much, on young plant it can consume most of the plant and make your crop very small. Once you have this infection you are done, sometimes it is possible to take a clone from an uneffected branch but is easily spread by insects.
Take all of your plant material and dispose of it so that it cannot come in to contact with other plants and above all do not compost infected plant material.

Google it and look at some pics. It looks not quite like yours.

If you have it, it would be the first actual case of mj getting it that I've seen.

That looks a lot like Cal deficiency. Something is going on for sure, I just don't think it's TMV.

It's not a Cal/Mag issue, but I doubt it's TMV either. I've heard of TMV, but have never heard of or known of an actual case in MJ like WetDog says, or come to think of it ANYTHING here for that matter. I'm all over other gardening sites as well.
Does that "film" rub off the leaf?

I have additional pics from this video.

Note: most of the probs seemed to be a nutrient ph/issue...while others look like a possible case of tmv. I had been doing everything "by the book" so to speak and things were going south with no apparent explanation. [video=youtube;fEHq-3hTY_I]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEHq-3hTY_I[/video]

I was at a loss to what my problems were and after much research I thought it may have to TMV...the pics and the video are several months old and currently a month and a half into flower. Reason why I'm concerned (if I actually do have tmv) is that I have cuttings currently vegging from those plants

at the moment the young ones aren't really showing anything to concerning but apparently and cutting that has the virus will continue to have the virus

that last post was a little disjointed.

Apparently if you take cuttings from an affected plant the cutting will continue to have the virus and could spread to other plants via gnats etc
