You might try a web search for "tobacco mosaic virus", I haven't seen it before only read that it can infect cannabis, imagine some pics out there of it for cannabis on the web to compare to as it affects quite a few different plants (tomatoes etc....).

Re: Hi all.
I'd get a good magnifier and inspect under some of those leaves. It looks like it could be mite damage but I'm not certain of it. They way the leaves are curled under and the whitish speckling resembles mite damage. I could be very wrong so get some more opinions but that screams mites to me that pic. Inspection of leaves will either confirm or deny this. Spider mites are easier to see than broad or russet mites but I'd get a good magnifier and inspect the leaves both top and bottom thoroughly.

Re: Hi all.
I'm gonna do the magnifier thing. It definitely isn't red spider. Thanks for your feedback.

OLDMAN'S disease? I resemble that remark young man!
By the way it does not look like mite damage to me, I would suspect DwightMonk may be onto something. I would guess a disease as opposed to an insect attack. Perhaps fungal in origin.

Re: Hi all.
Looks like mites from the pics. You'll probably need a microscope to see them though

Did you manage to diagnose and fix the problem? Did it turn out to be mites?

Not yet. I've been on the road and will be home tomorrow. I'll post then. I have had someone spray them with Pyrol for possible mites in the meantime.....

1-2 tbsp Neem oil with a few drops of soap(like dawn) in a spray bottle saturate them bitches on top and bottom of the leaves once a day for a week.( right when the lights come on so they dont burn at the heat of the day)
I thought I had mites awhile back and did this for a few days(per the advice of a 420 member and research) with no negative side effects to my plants. Turned out it wasn't mites, but it didn't hurt my girls at all.
If You DON'T use the neem oil you can get ladybugs, but you have to create a little nest for them in your tent and release them at lights off so they'll stay and build a home/make babies.
If you don't want to go the natural way there are pesticides you can try. It just depends how infested your plants are, what option you go with.
Good luck, and let us know what happens... hopefully someone who successfully got rid of mites can chime in with what worked for them.

Thanks! fantastic - it's all out WAR!
I'd try neem oil, or a good miticide, or even an insecticidal soap. You might want to test it on one leaf overnight though. Sometimes the treatment can be worse. I've burnt leaves because the treatment was too strong, burning the leaves. So now, I test one leaf. If it's fine the next day, then I'll treat the plant. If not, I'll try something else.

Soaked the babies with neem oil last night. Wet top and bottom of all the leafs.
Let's see.....
Let's see.....
I just found a few mites and I think thrills on my two girls. Plus a patch of powdery mildew on the lower stem. I have a spray that's mostly fish oil with sesame oil. Supposed to be miticide/insecticide/fungicide all in one.
And found another miticide that's made fro clove oil, neem, and another. I'm going to try both.
