That's some weird looking flower

[No3odiesShad0w]

That's the Bloody Runtz (take 2) the first one had that mosaic marking on the leaves. Seems like the second seed is also starting to show some of the mosaic marking too. The flowers are the weird part. It's looking like it's trying to decide if it wants to be a male or female. I'm expecting it to herm as it gets further into the grow. Which means the hot cakes has free reign of that tub, yet it doesn't seem interested in growing much.

Anyone got thoughts? Comments? Something I've overlooked?

Posted another in the wrong place, if you saw it.
I can't tell from your pictures. Does your possible TMV look like this?

Here's the mosaic pattern I'm getting but it limited itself to one main cola branch.

I'll check the flowers on that branch later today but I haven't noticed what you are seeing.

It is looking like your may be in the very early stage of hermie but its a bit early to tell for sure.

She looks fine to me other than some mild fungus gnat damage.

On the same note one of her parents is bloody skunk from sweet seeds. Her parent is skunk#1 which always had "off" looking sugar leaves around the buds. Not bad just off.

I've had these before. Seems it's usually isolated and never goes away. Mostly lower fan leaves. Going2fast maybe on the right track. The Skunk from seedman did this last time I grew it, just 1 seed out of 3 though.

I'm no plant science guy. You know that, yeah? I am a lot of things, but I am no plant science guy.
I don't think you have TMV. I think you have a mutation similar to what I'm showing. I have other pictures I gave up looking for that look like all sorts of suspiciousness.
By now, I imagine your entire crop would be TMV'd, not just one main cola, and you are boned no matter what. So, let it grow out and see what happens.

 

[No3odiesShad0w]

that's weird since I don't have any gnats. I stopped using the stickies even because they would stay clean once I found out about BTI. Rove beetles, yes but they don't eat live plant material.

 

[No3odiesShad0w]

For now, I'm only seeing a few stipes here and there. Might be nothing, might be something. Still gonna finish it off and see what happens....you know ...science and stuff.

 

[No3odiesShad0w]

Could be it. Just odd morphology, especially at day 23. The pound town is also giving me weird flower morphology but she's on day 34 and a late bloomer.

 

[No3odiesShad0w]

No, it's def NOT TMV. I just didn't have a better word to describe the irregular striping pattern on the leaves. The first seedling had them all over the place with mutant leaves and super stunted. The second seedling outgrew her in 3 days, so I chopped the other one to make room for the healthier one. She sees her sister blooming all happy and wanted to join the party I guess

I think that is what I have on the one Garlic Storm, thanks.

 

[Gingerbeard]

Look at the leaves at the top of your picture, in back. That looks like a better developed version of what you are showing in the middle. That is the same mutation I am showing in my pictures.
Nothing is dying, yeah? No brown? No gray? Not a tip crispier than the tip of a non-suspicious leaf? No funny texture? Maybe the yellow is thinnner?

 

[Bluey]

You are right but there is noticeable twisting of the effected leaves although it is not huge, sideways end twist

This mosaic "infection" likely occurred in this cola because I completely broke it off in veg and that is clearly an entry point for pathogens.

I think my infection is a mild one and hoping it doesn't impact on yields too much as I have massively impacted yields myself this crop with all the breakages and supercropping the entire mother which will more than halve yields on that one I suspect.

 

[No3odiesShad0w]

Still looking extra weird and not doing any side branching on day 26 of growth. Still holding out that in a few days, she'll start stretching and stop looking so weird. At day 30, she should start stretching.

The Hot Cakes is blooming nicely, but up popped up TMV. I was thinking the bloody Runtz has it but the leaves on the hot cakes are pretty clear

 

[Allenpro]

I have seen pictures of strains with chocolate colored buds like that. All you can do is ride it out or kill it, depending on how full your jars are.

 

[No3odiesShad0w]

I'm curious. I'm gonna let it go. I'm jars aren't hurting.

 

[Allenpro]

Thank you for that, I am curious how they turn out.

 

[Going2fast]

Congrats. You got a purple pheno. Still looks perfectly fine to me just a little stunted. Love the verigation. They usually grow out of it though.

 

[No3odiesShad0w]

I used the jewelers loupe to take a closer look and it's actually a bunch of really dark purple leaves. It was making the THC look like it was black. It's interesting.... Just wish there was more to her than this. She's literally going to be just a single cola. It's going to look hilarious. Then if it tastes amazing I'm gonna be mad because where the rest?
The hot cakes is doing well. She's flowering like mad. Always good to see.
