Hey, buddy! 👋
To start, you have a slight phosphorus deficiency - red leaf stems.
But those spots seem more like they're from the Sunn-hemp mosaic virus. If you smoke tobacco in the cultivation area - stop doing that, bro! If you smoke a lot and wash your hands little, try to wash your hands thoroughly, and wash your face well before entering the cultivation area! Wear clean clothes when working with the plant! Try to maintain cleanliness in the cultivation area and your personal hygiene! Now, more about the virus...
Infected crops transmit the infection through physical contact. This means that by touching an infected plant or tobacco, and then touching a healthy plant, you can spread this virus! Using tools to trim an infected plant and then using them on a healthy plant without sterilizing the trimming tools can lead to virus transmission. The virus is airborne, and even insects can transmit the virus from plant to plant just by flying around and touching them. The cannabis mosaic virus is particularly resilient and can infect the soil for many years! 👆
The virus causes cellular mutations, stunted growth, slows down photosynthesis, and much more. Cellular mutations manifest as color changes and deformed leaves. Discoloration usually appears as yellow or gray spotting, which can form mottling, mosaic patterns, or stripes. Deformed leaves can result from damage to the plants at the cellular level, making them crooked or twisted. Stunted growth will definitely affect yield, often resulting in losses of 25% of the total flower count or even more! 👆
There is no effective recipe for treating this virus. There are only cleanliness recommendations that must be followed! The virus is destroyed only by burning infected tissues. Plants have a natural defense in the form of a protein coating that protects the plant's RNA. Different strains have varying levels of resistance to the mosaic virus due to different levels of hormones in the plant responsible for producing protective protein coatings! 👆
Try to maintain sterility in the cultivation area, personal hygiene, and work with the plant in clean clothes! Also - under no circumstances should you smoke in the cultivation area! 👆
Good luck, buddy! ✊😇
