"TMV" So many questions?

[Colombo]

TMV ? (Tobacco Mosaic Virus) Have we been miss diagnosing and treating our plants? I sometimes question how these things suddenly appear. Is it a scare tactic?

The real question to be answered, is this spread of the virus due to cannabis grown on old tobacco fields? (And if so to what effect will it have on recreational and commercial grow? What effect will it have on seed banks do to the viruses effect the genetics of a plant

Thanx for the info, interesting! I have seen something that looks like this, I cant say it was TMV, but it seems we need to keep our eyes open!

In some info it says if you smoke tobacco products you should not touch your cannabis plants as this could also transfer the virus to your plants. How crazy is that!

I read that you should always wash your hands after smoking before handling plants years ago, I don't recall the context. I basically ignored it but my current crop is displaying symptoms very similar to the pics in the e-mail so now I'm wondering if there is something to it.
