White Widow veg stage leaves curling sideways??

hi i have 4 white widow plants in vegging at the moment and three of them have the odd leaves curling sideways. i took them as cuttings from the mother that i grew from seed. the mother was grown in exactly the same room, same nutrients and same medium with no problems. if anyone has seen this before id be grateful for some help, thanks

You have very nice looking plants and all the nutes or water will cure what you have, tobacco mosiac virus. There is no cure for this virus and infects hundreds of different variety of plants. Your plants are healthy overall so should be fine although you will continue to have outbreaks in your leaves. Insects are the major spreaders of the virus, eating from one leaf and then going to another, so insect control is a must the rest of the grow. You can also spread this by touch so clean hands after handling each plant. Cloning is risky from infected plants, I have had mixed success.
Don't compost infected plants and if and when trimming dispose of plant parts properly away from other plants.
Hope this helps good luck and nice plants

I agree with Canefan. I've had this happen a few times in the past, and at first, I'd assumed there was a 'hotspot' in the soil, like the manufacturer didn't mix their soil well enough, or something, until I came across TMV. Idk if it's worth fighting, or not, I've always trashed them, because I almost always start more than I need anyway.lol

Funny you should ask, I currently have 6 in varying stages of flower that are infected. Damn veggie farm next grew 5 acres of tomatoes and now I have a problem throughout my farm. The final yield will depend on how badly affected your plants are. The virus can kill plants, severly stunt their growth, disrupt photosynethis in leaves and in general turn your world upside down. Once you have identified the problem then the trick is to keep it from spreading uncontrollbly.
Pest control is the biggest part of keeping the virus in check, the other is to keep it healthy as possible so it basically outgrows the virus. Once you get past the stretch you will see a marked slowing of the process. In flower, usually you will see a few new leaves become infected but with few exceptions rarely get into the bud itself. Why? I don't have a clue. Best advice keep the plants from touching each other as much as possible, don't smoke tobacco around the plants and above all else kill every plant chewing bug possible.
Good Luck and hit that pipe again and just watch your buds fill out in front of you.
