Does Your Plant Have TMV? by Nebula Haze |

Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) is a virus that is commonly found in tobacco plants which causes twisted leaves, strange mottling symptoms (a "mosaic"), slowed growth, and reduced yields. Mosaic virus has spread to several other species
of plants, and although we don't know for certain, there is evidence from many growers that cannabis plants can catch mosaic virus, too. Although mosaic virus can't hurt you (the grower), it can prevent plants from growing as fast or yielding as well as they could have.
Can Cannabis Plants Catch Mosaic Virus?
These pictures show the symptoms of what several marijuana growers believe to be the result of mosaic virus, including twisted, curved leaves, yellow stripes, spots and a mosaic pattern.
Curved leaves with yellow stripes or mottling are usually the main symptom of mosaic
virus.
Several leaves throughout
the plant can display symptoms, or it may just be one or two leaves. Some plants are silent carriers and may never show any symptoms. It's easier to see the leaf mottling if the affected plant surface is partly in the shade.
Mosaic virus can stunt young plants that display a lot of symptoms, and can also cause odd, fern-like growth on young marijuana
leaves. The leaves may look like they have uneven stripes of light and dark green. Yellowing is worse on the parts of the leaves that are deformed and twisted. For many plants with
mosaic virus, the dark green areas tend to be somewhat thicker than the lighter portions of the leaf. There are sometimes yellow spots or speckles that appear on the unhealthy parts of the leaves. A plant virus can be hard to pin down, since many factors can cause similar symptoms. Unfortunately, a virus can also transfer from plant to plant, so a grower might think they're dealing with an
environmental factor instead of an infectious disease.
However, when you have unexplained symptoms that look like pictures of TMV, it's definitely something to consider! Luckily, mosaic virus appears to be pretty rare in marijuana plants!
Fun Fact: Tobacco Mosaic Virus was the first virus ever to be discovered!
The tobacco mosaic virus can attack a wide range of plants, including tomato, pepper, eggplant, tobacco, spinach, petunia, marigold, and maybe even our beloved herb marijuana.
Here's a pic of a tobacco plant with confirmed TMV - the mottled leaves are the main symptom of the virus besides overall slow growth. Here's a pic of a squash plant that has caught Mosaic Virus Euphorbia viguieri plant infected with mosaic virus
Best Strains for Beginners?

When I first started growing cannabis, I was so excited to finally be able to pick my own strains! I was also a little (a lot?) confused about the whole concept of strains. I had so many questions... What's the difference between each strain? Which ones
are the most potent and what about yields? Is it even worth paying attention to strain?
Strain choice actually makes a HUGE difference in your results, including final plant size, yields, time to harvest and smell/potency! If you're going to grow, why not grow exactly what you want?
I want a strain that is... Plus some bonus info about...
Want to grow more than one strain at the same time?

Trophy Pictures of the Week! |

I grew this Auto Ultimate by Dutch Passion in 92 days using organic nutrients. It yielded 400 grams dry weight flowering under a 600w HPS and a small LED panel for supplement lighting. This is the second time I have
grown this strain and both have given me large yields. It's a mellow smoke, and packed with resin. I have to thank you for this wonderful site! Anytime I need help, I turn to this place.
