"Infected crops transmit the virus in a number of ways, but in most cases transmittal requires physical contact. This means that touching an infected plant, then touching a healthy plant could cause the healthy plant to contract the virus. Using tools to trim an infected plant, then using them on a healthy plant without sterilizing them between uses can result in the transmission of the virus. The virus should be treated like it is airborne since an insect can transmit the virus, from plant to plant, just by flying around and making contact between plants. Hemp mosaic virus is particularly resilient and can infect the soil through the winter and into the following growing seasons for years."
From Wiki as I don't have the time to dig through text books.
With all due respect.
Why is it that the pictures you list as being spider mites are on google images for Sunn - Hemp MV, BEFORE the pics of mottled ones?
I've spent hrs talking to prof's from MSU, Old Miss, USC, U of O, Cal Poly and Texas A&M on many subjects relating to cannabis growth. NONE have ever seen a confirmed poss. test for any MV in a cannabis plant. Please keep in mind that Old Miss is where they GROW cannabis for the Feds. One Prof from MSU says that "Back in the 40's when industrial cannabis was being grown for the oil/fiber ALL OVER the U.S. there was NEVER a recorded viral problem with cannabis! If there were it could have been devastating to the war effort as the oil from cannabis was for a while the ONLY effective available oil that could be used in certain high altitude airplane engines until they perfected some of the first synthetic oils that did not break down or turn to goo at the operating temps and altitudes used buy them".
Around here we have had a problem with MV infecting pickle plants. The virus remains in the soil for years! The effected fields are now unable to support crops that can contract MV. They now run chip potato's in them. It has been 6 years now and yearly testing of the soil shows almost no reduction in the virus viability....
The virus REDUCES yields of ANY plant effected! If it didn't, we would still be running pickles!
I have tried NOT to offend and did not intend to if you feel so.
MV in cannabis is most likely a myth!
DO the research for yourself and find out.
Good day

So if its not MV or mites then what the hell is it? because i have one strain this is only specific too. and ive put numerous leaves under a 1000x microscope and there is no signs of mite damage just discoloration and curling. no poop, no eggs, no bite holes. also my yields are not affected nor is the soil because i do my own reclaimed soil. all my plants would have had it by now if it did spread, its only one strain and ive grown it for 3 seasons and nothings happened to anything else. I have one plant thats the same strain just different phenotype and the buds are the same size as the one with the virus and doesnt affect it at all.

So Ive spent all morning looking into lists of plant viruses (from veggies, to flowers to cannabis). I been looking into how these plants get viruses(an aphid or mite), reaction to the virus etc. I came acrossed this, check it out...let me know what you think...@Dr. Who @BigTexan

Interesting!
I have seen some interesting bi color traits expressed by different strains. While not exactly like the one pictured above. It could be in that category.Well regardless, ill carry on what im doing i know its not detrimental to what im doing. The plants that im dealing with are getting replaced by my new strain in 3 weeks. the only thing ive found bad about it is the appearance thats it.
Happy growingand smoking
The Dr. From GreenHouse is one right off the top of my head. Two toned mottled look with the primary coloring being two shades of green, The normal green and a very light green. Who's to say there is not a yellow varient?

I had exactly same problem can I ask did you re-use any substrate from a previous grow? Is any of the new growth very small? I'd personally say virus unless you clearly see any mites of course and having tried many fungicides the most effective was Signum from BASF. TMV or similar viral infections never go from potted plants you just keep it controlled with the Signum. Spraying with anything containing oil seems to aggrevate it in my ex? Good luck with it chap, plus everything in the last picture looks lush!
