ive heard of TMV but never seen it before. where do you think you might have gotten it from? my first thought when i saw the slight curling of the leaves in the 2nd and 3rd photos was russet mites. they make the leaves taco or curl up around the edges.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Hello! I believe it came from the manufactured tobacco that I smoke..cigarettes > hands > plants...But I'm not sure, all info that I have I got here: http://www.growweedeasy.com/tobacco-mosaic-virus-tmv-cannabis
"The tobacco mosaic virus is very stable and can persist in contaminated soil, in infected plant debris, on or in the seed coat, and in manufactured tobacco products"
I have no other infected plants nearby and I know the coco coir is clean( I use this brand since 2014) so the only option left is from the cigarettes.
Another interesting thing in the article is:
"The mosaic virus has spread from tobacco plants and is known to infect at least 125 species of plants, including tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and many types of flowers. But as of yet, it's not been proven to infect cannabis.The pictures presented today are all possibly cannabis plants with mosaic virus. They appear to follow the symptoms of mosaic virus in other plant species, and the problem seems to spread from plant to plant like a virus"
The curling I think is because of high temps or a little overfert ( I already flush w/ half dosage, they are growing ok) I looked close for mites and thank god I've found none hehe
you cant see the russets - with a scope they look like the dust youd get after using a sander or saw. theyd also have a really dry feel/appearance.
Interesting that it hasnt been proven yet. Certainly looks the same to me!
