Mosaic virus? Or what?

Hi all, just noticed those on one of my plants... I don't know what's wrong with it, I can only guess it looks like tobacco mosaic virus. There are many plants in the same soil (outdoor, next to each other in greenhouse), they do not show symptoms like this one particular plant.
Any guess is welcome, I'm curious, I don't think this is threatening to the plant, she's been developing very well.

Thanks for replying. From what I understood and I may be wrong, mosaic virus is more like a genetic fault rather than a virus that spread. I mean it looks to me like a mutation rather than anything else. There are 6 other plants in the same "pot", using the same "soil" and being watered the same way, like I said none shows any of those symptoms. It's super soil, I don't have to add nuts but I add organic homemade nuts anyway. Very low strength, mainly to give a boost to the microbial life rather than add nutrients to the soil. So far so good, autoflowers are doing well, other photos as well... There's really only this one that show such symptoms. Which is why I can only guess it's some sort of mutation...
 
Ph of soil is between 6 and 7, I have inaccurate way of measuring. Water pH is 6. But I admit having done some mistakes, not controlling pH after adding nuts. That didn't develop any symptoms in particular, the soil is still the same pH, probably cause its in the ground. Limitless. Since it's super soil I decided not to add nuts till I figure some way of decreasing the pH once added to water. (when I finally checked, with nuts pH of water was around 8! I cursed myself lol but I didn't use nuts often so it was fine.)
 
If I had spent 2 minutes looking it up... It's probably pH fluctuation! Simply... Virus does spread to other. Sigh, I'm an idiot xD
 
No, You are a learner. We like to guess and dig into our vault of knowledge but at the same time, we love being stimulated by others to further enhance our knowledge. Just my thoughts
 
Thanks Jeg. I try not to ask stupid questions, or mainly questions that can be answered by spending 5 minutes on Google... Idk what came over me, I must have missed the "pH fluctuation symptoms" picture... It's a peculiar problem, and I almost immediately thought of some mutation, instead of double checking. Anyway, like you said, I learn by making mistakes. Even dumb one like this xP
