Hey y’all, just wondering if anyone knows what if any nutrient deficiencies might cause this symptom besides TMV? I have had the virus and it was absolutely devastating, cost me years and thousands of dollars. I threw out everything but the lights which I sprayed with bleach, moved my whole setup and then a couple of the new seedlings that came up had some little marks, I isolated them immediately but they look so healthy.. was wondering if there’s anything else it could be? Not likely hey.. just trying to be hopeful..

The lighter patterning in the bottom pic resembles early calcium deficiency. How old are these?
A couple of months I think.. they were indoor under lights 24 hours but I put them outside about a month or 6 weeks ago when I suspected them of being infected.

Is this just on one leaf? What part of the plant? It resembles TMV coloration early but it's just that patch.
Yeah, it’s just one leaf, I think there were others though, it’s one of the early ones from the bottom of the plant. I remember there were some marks on the first leaves on this plant, that’s why I removed it from the tent.
Maybe a little particle floated in from somewhere and infected it. It wouldn’t surprise me, it was everywhere! I had to chop down 3 mature fig trees because they got it too.
