Any idea what causes this?

TMV didn't exist in cannabis. After hearing it doesn't from a lot of people, I tested it myself. They don't get the virus.

I don't know why you would tell people that, when it has been scientifically proven many times over that TMV can use any member of the Cannabaceae Family as its host. And once a female plant is infected it will be carrier of the disease! And even if you tried to clone that same female plant through "tissue culture replication" you wouldn't be able to remove the disease. To easily stop TMV from maybe ruining that one gal you have been searching your whole life for, LoL. You can either HCI acid dunk your seeds at a low temperature 55F to 60F right before germinating them, or you can give them a quick (2) minute and (30) second water dunk at between 112F and 116F. And lastly... many people will tell you that the cannabis plant cannot get TMV, and that its actually HMV that infects the cannabis plant, which to me is just a play on words because to date, there are some 6,000 plants that can be infected by some form of a "mosaic virus". So if you want to call it HMV instead of maybe TMV, go for it, but its still some form of a "mosaic virus" which will visually display the same leaf deformities whether you are growing a lettuce plant that has some form of a "mosaic virus" (LMV), or a cucumber plant that has some form of a "mosaic virus" (CMV), or even a cannabis plant that has some form of a "mosaic virus" (?MV).


Anyway... really the only thing I am trying to say, is that because no plants in Cannabaceae Family have been actually scientifically cataloged to be susceptible to infection by some form of a "mosaic virus" it has never been given a defining classification name, so that's why most people refer to it as TMV!

I say that because TMV does not exist in cannabis it's that simple. They're has never been a confirmed case of it. Myths VS facts.... Show me proof, I'll wait.....
