This is just a random seed out of some shit smoke we had. I think it's a gelato. Feeding it biobizz grow 1ml per litre every 2-3 days

Strange looking leaves for sure. Just keep her going and see if new growth comes out normal.
 
:eek1: Very suspect for a virus! Some color break isn't uncommon in seedlings, but this is something else,.. I'm not at all positive about this, and really only a lab test can confirm this, not worth the $$ trust me... Keep her at your own risk, but I'd ditch that thing and start sterilizing anything commonly used between other plants (snippers, pots, stakes, anything that touched it), that or toss it all....Any virus possibility for this is wildly infectious!
 
Looks like a Mosaic virus - it is soil based. Hands and gloves and shovels are the most common transport but the wind can spread it as well. Are there other plants in the tent with it? If so they may become infected as well. If they have not been infected get that one plant out and sanitize everything in the tent the best you can. At the end of the grow do a thorough cleaning of the space. Do not reuse the soil or pots.

If there are no other plants to consider then let this one grow and give it some B1, kelp, humic acid in the soil or B1, kelp and fulvic acid foliar. Some cucumbers can out-grow the virus if they are fed well enough maybe cannabis can also. The other thing is we are making a diagnosis based on a picture which is subject to error. If this is just a genetic anomaly the plant could just grow!

If those leaves get crunchy toss that plant and get hospital clean.

Oh yeah I forgot about aphid moving it from plant to plant maybe an aphid hitch-hiked in on you?

My cat gave me white flies last year :haha:.

hey guys, been busy with work so late to the replies!
This plant is in the tent with 2 others. I've touched this one then touched my others and they are both fine.
If there is a chance it is a virus then i can chuck it out - not worth losing everything i guess.
If the others haven't caught it yet which have been in the same tent for well over 2 weeks would you just leave it in or get rid?
 
Viral infection may not show right away, or even at all, but can be passed.... their behavior can be complex and hard to track,... Commercial bud is a common culprit, they will not ditch the plant out of $$ concerns, they don't give fuck-all basically as long as they get paid! And yes, viral infections can be passed into the seed, since the virus genome is integrated into the cell's DNA already... this is why it can never be "cured"....
Like I said, this is my opinion, visual ID is not good enough usually to confirm it, but it sure looks very suspect... Your call!
