Ouch, yeah, you're kinda fucked in flower. Not sure if Hot Shot pest strips knock them out or not, but I haven't had any pest issues in a few years now since using them in gh.

Could be hemp russet mite? Symptoms of infestation can vary with any mites, seems different strains can handle the sap suckers better than others.
Why would you think it was a mosaic virus? Do you have a veggie garden? There are other mosaic viruses than tmv but not sure the chances of transmission.

I do not have a vegetable garden. And it was the only thing that I could find online that looked like that

Could be a variegated leaf mutation, there are a few strains that carry it commonly from what I've heard. If broad mites, your new growth will eventually stop coming in and not look so good. Maybe keep it separated for a bit and see what develops.

If you dont smoke cigarettes or plants are not otherwise exposed to tobaco or contaminated material Ì'd check tmv offmthe list.

Scope the leaves undersides religously @ 60x or more

I agree, if it's mites you will be able to find them, just pluck off a couple of the worst looking leaves (put em in a tupperware container just in case, don't want them dropping off and spreading ;?) then get them under a bright light and a scope in order to see what's what. I find you can hold a leaf over a light bulb (bottom side up and not too close) and the heat will make the little fuckers more active so their easier to spot.

That said, my first thought is a mutation since TMV is rare (but it has been documented). I knew a guy on another forum about 9-10 years ago who had what he thought was TMV - he happened to live in Georgia and not too far from several tobacco farms, and in fact it was one of his good buddies who farmed bacca that diagnosed it (since he didn't work in the industry, I always suspected his friend might have been the source too, lol).

Lol, that happens a lot when you're first learning the craft, just like having your first kid, every time they start crying or having a fit, you worry that it's something serious (probably should rush her to the emergency room, just in case ;?), and then it turns out they just needed burping, lol.

I've a Sensi Star which grows leaves like that, I have it 10 years now.
I wouldn't worry about it. Variegated leaves .

So basically you're saying your Sensi Star has had tobacco mosaic virus for 10 years?

LOL, just kidding, yeah it could just be a genetic anomaly/mutation. With all the inbreeding/crossbreeding/more inbreeding, there's no telling what recessive genes are getting into seed lines these days.
