IMO - too much nitrogen and the start of the plant reacting to it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Looks like the Delta variant of covid19.

It's an interesting mottling pattern but I don't think it's the virus. With the virus you'll also typically see leaf deformity and weak growth too. It will probably grow out of it.

More common is hlv they say 90% of Cali plants are infected with hlv. There is a good chance getting hlv I always side with caution and when my seedlings pop up the plants with really small leaves to start I toss those away. Also I make sure to always sanatize scissors between using them of different plants

Maybe the soil has to much nutrients Mosaic virus does not attack itself to weed seeds. The only way to get it on your plants is from another plant or possibly mishandling the seed when germinating but even with germinating the virus has to be on your hand. From my understanding it’s not that common to have that virus unless your growing outdoors or you bought clones from someone and introduced new clones to your garden I don’t think it’s that common to just randomly get it from your hands during germinating I’d wait a bit and make sure b4 tossing the plant

It's not anything to worry about, it's either a slight pH imbalance or the soil is a little bit too pre-fertilized, or it's simply just genetics. It'll most likely grow out of it and if it doesn't it'll probably grow just fine anyway. I've gown many plants that looked like that with no problems, I've even grown super wierd mutants that were keepers, you never know which ugly child will grow into a cover girl :)

Would be obscenely rare, like you're going into a textbook and need to link with local botany phds. Labs that have suspected TMV sampels sent in typically find nothing, or hlv
