What do ya'll think? These pictures were taken on day 34 of flower. Roughly 1/4 of my plants have similar leaf blotchieness.

Looks more like a minor Ph issue more than a deficiency. TMV, naa that is a questionable subject in regards to this being transmitted to cannabis as it is with tobacco and other plants. Been growing out tobacco and herb together for years and never have I seen Tobacco Mosaic Virus effect anything other than tobacco.

Considering the touchiness of the subject...


You, more than likely, won't have an answer that you can trust without performing a TMV test.

It looks like potassium deficiency during flowering. K is for bigger branches and stems, and when the plants stack (grow little branches on the buds) they need more K. And they like more space for roots too.

Plus, K is generallly associated with strong and healthy plants. So even if it is a virus, it still may help.

Also, I don't know how the airflow is, it is hard to tell from those pictures.

Top picture does look like a K issue I agree. However the bottoms does not. Veg plants in nearby room have it (bottom picture blotchiness) to a lesser extent as well.

I've had this as well, It's debated weather it's phos or virus related. I believe in the later. Some of my re-vegged plants actually had it.
