TMV - tobacco mosaic virus? - Looking for some opinions on this

Hey all-

It was just brought to my attention about the Mosaic Virus, so I did some research and checked some photos on the net...I got a bit freaked out after inspecting the grow. I'm including photos, but I failed to snap one of a few disfigured leaves. I recall reading and also seeing a picture of a disfigured leaf and it was claimed to be a result of an infected plant of TMV.


Here it is

These two leaves are from "Pinesol" (little one to the left) and Big Bud (right). Both show signs of similar features from the mosaic virus (IMO).

Microscope picture 2 @ 200x (infected or nutrient deficient look of a cannabis leaf)


Microscope picture 3 @ 80x (Normal look of the underside of a cannabis leaf)


Microscope picture 4 @ 200x (infected or nutrient deficient look of a cannabis leaf)

This is a great comparison of the infected section creeping towards a normal section of the leaf...kinda like the "Blob".


I would appreciate any feedback on this. Thank you all in advance.
 
I've have had a couple plants like that. Flush it with nuts at about 400ppm and check you run off. When my plants looked lik that they had a run off value of over 1800ppm. Doesn't mean you food level is that high but if not feeding proper your ppm value will bild up. I know also about the virus but this llookalike too much food.

got a lot of reading to do now, two of my industrial plants have shown symptoms like this(first few twisted leaves shots from the link) from seed but have never spread to other plants. maybe its just a genetic mutation
