Is this TMV ?

Does this look like TMV? A couple leaves are two tone and slight curved leaf growth

It certainly looks like it based on the images on this website but the good news is that it only slows the growth, not kills the plant. I imagine you could let it go a bit and see how it does. Best of luck!

Just can't imagine how they got it, no problem with the 2 previous grows.

I wonder if the virus could have already infected the seed thru it's mother, rather than contracting if after germination?

 

[ellz]

Good question. I am not sure but from what it looks like it spreads easily. If a plant has it in a green house, it's usually removed, along with the soil and the growing container to reduce spreading and anyone who handled anything related to that plant must wash their hands thoroughly. I am only going off the info on this page: http://www.growweedeasy.com/tobacco-mosaic-virus-tmv-cannabis

Yea, I read that also. I was planning to make my own fem seeds with those girls but if the virus is carried in the seed itself it's pointless. I just wish I knew if it's even worth trying to finish the grow as far as yeild goes, now I've only got 20 days invested. What do tall think? Keep them or start over?

 

[ellz]

That's a tough call. Only 20 days in maybe pull it but I would wait for someone else to comment first. I don't want to be the bad guy! LOL!

Thanks ellz the whole thing makes me sick because you have so much time invested in a grow, just don't know what to do, both plants are affected.

 

[ellz]

It's a hard call and I feel for you. If you do decide to stick it out, I would make sure to clean everything completely before your next grow to ensure it doesn't continue to spread. Other than that, it's either pull the plug or hang in there and I know that part is the hardest part!
