Variegation.

Yeah, I'm not sure what it is?? Or if it's even related to my main trouble at all, which is many fan leaves going crispy starting at the tip and ultimately consuming the whole leaf, just during bloom, veg plants are fine. I just never had crispy leaves at all in past years and even after lowering TDS and temps still see it. I've heard viruses can make plants unable to handle bright light and burn easily. It's like my plants are allergic to HID lights now, even though I'm keeping the canopy below 80degF.
The virus looking symptom is only on a few leaves on otherwise healthy mothers. The symptom doesn't even show up on the blooming plants, just leaf burn. I never would have thought anything about a few leaves having the symptom or suspected a virus if it weren't for all the leaves dying in bloom. Baffling!

Wiki lists a pathological variegation, but by my personal experience, it's genetic when it looks like that.
My White Widow will do that,... tho only on the scattered leaf in flower, and it CERTAINLY does NOT have TMV
Pic 1: Couple buds off of my widow,... shot doesn't show any of the variegation that matches those pics, but if it were TMV the buds would be tiny crispy junk. Right?
Pic 2: A leaf from my most extremely variegated plant, it grew like this from the first set of leaves, and was the ONLY plant in my room to exhibit such mutation. So either it was germinated with the virus, or it's simply a genetic mutant

Right, if this really is a virus, will all plants on a common recirculating feed system then all get it? Or is it just tissue transmitted, such as via plant sap on a razor?

So here's what I'd really like to know, and forgive me if it's already been said and I missed it, but what worse symptoms should follow the variegated leaves as it progresses?
The variegation in itself doesn't trouble me at all as it's always only just a few leaves here and there on otherwise healthy and fast growing plants. I'm most concerned about what are the more damaging telltale virus signs as it get's worse. Anybody know?

Mosiac virus in Cannabis is very real. Believe it.
Here is a picture of advanced mosiac on a flowering plant.
This plant has only been flowering 3 weeks notice all the red hairs already
Severe blistering on older fan leaves. looks almost deep fried.
Plant in Veg showing typical varegation and deformation.
These plants are cuttings of cuttings of cuttings. Every time a cutting is made the new cutting becomes weaker and weaker. The weaker the plant the more mosiac is going to rare its head.
This Mosiac was spread by a thrip infestation. Sad part here is I did not know I had mosiac right away and the trimmings and old soil with rootball were thrown in the compost pile. The following year the compost was spread throughout my garden and flower beds. Luckily there are no signs of mosiac in any of my vegtables or flowers. With the exception of some used soil which was not composted went in to some flower containers. These flowers did show signs of mosiac.
Looking around the yard I see thrip damage on everything. Grass, clover, weeds you name it. Nature must have some way of dealing with this virus or everything would be dead.

hey dr d its a ss chronic plant
You got it on anything else?
Ive just cleaned house and restarted with fresh seeds, fresh nutes everything else has been sanitized up to three times and still right from the day they started showing leaves they started showing symptoms, short of burning everything i don't know how im going to get rid of this.
Even the seedlings in new pots showed symptoms straight away so how they got i do not know i just cant figure it out...Peace
^^^Have you tried using a lil skim milk DR. D.....afoaf had it, and he's fine now...Hope this helps

well I think i have too the mosaic virus as you can see in the pictures below
while it certainly doesnt look healthy by any account, i think i will complete my grow. Maybe yield will be lower, but as not all leaves are like that, I hope my plant still has some capacity to photosynthesis.
I hope my new grow (from seed) wont be like that, virus infections, as in humans are a bitch to fight

That doesn't have the typical pattern associated with what people are calling TMV, I would guess you are lucky enough to have some other problem, IMHO. Perhaps a picture of the whole plant would be easier to diagnose...

I thought this one had mosaic at first but it grew out of it by mid flower and turned out to be a nice plant at harvest.
oh yes? I was pretty sure about it after all the things I have read here, ok let me take a good picture of my plant to show you
sorry for the crappy quality , I had to shutdown my lights and take a flash photo. The plant is quite near the harvest time, 4 months old. The red pointers are to my opinion the tell tale of the mosaic, but im no expert in any kind of sense.

Usually the variegation shown above in post #451 is what is people are calling the TMV. However I've had plants show that for a while and then have it go away completely, so I'm still not convinced that any of this really is TMV or any MV, it could all just be nutrient and stress disorders being mis-diagnosed. I guess the only way to know for sure is to get the test strips.
looks like im screwed!
entire branches fall off!
I feel like my grow room has leperosy and aids.
asprin seems to help.
the virus has affected outdoor plants, indoor grows, clones, seed grown plants.... everything. unbelievably contagious virus!
im thinking of trying out many strains on the next grow in the hopes that ill find one that is naturally more resistant. it came into my life from a cotton candy clone that i got from a friend. if anyone wants more pics let me know, i have multiple grows going and they are ALL infected. i would like to help others out so that they can identify the plague that is mosaic. it exists, its real and other than the cops, its the worst possible thing that could happen to a grower.

asprin and mosaic pics
both plants same age, same strain, same food, same everything except the larger one gets 325mg/gal of asprin added to her meals.
the taller one was repotted into a larger container a week ago.
it seems to me that asprin does help controll the symptoms of the virus.
notice the leaves and branches falling off of the little one, it has no hope for yeilding anything!
