Now also soil drench and foliar with Bt bacteria to protect aginst bad Bactria too .
I use both on everything I grow just cuz then I know what is in my riosphere.
Mosaic I'd guess is not the culprit unless you had massive leaf drop I think it is lockout from underwatering it happens so fast with smartpots outside <<< just a guess from ten years of this
Now I say if your sure it is a blight or virus ditch all the dirt and chop up the floor of the screenhouse fiveinches down and import new soil from a local composter....
Just my .02 I grew tobacco right next to my cannabis and it destroyed the gnats and anything else that messes with Mary Jane tobacco is good and bad for carrying blights too... As well as tomatos

Thanks for your insight on that Joe. I will look into the t-22. I used bt in the past but only as a foliar when I had budworms. I definitely can't say forsure that it was mosaic but I did get massive leaf drop. What makes me think mosaic is that I sometimes get the crinkle, or twist leafs, very subtle but many say its a tell tale sign for mosaic. At the same time ive heard that small leaf mutations can be heat stress and it gets hot where I grow. My first 2 years growing in the location I never had anything even remotely close to what happened last year(3rd year), just vibrant green all throughout season. Its one of those things where I stressed out soo much and read so much on the internet trying to figure it out that by the end your just as confused as when you started. It could have also been extreme salt build up, and yeah the smarties did not do well in my SoCal climate, i just didnt like them at all. My plants are always healthier when they are in the ground. The rust and crazy blotches showed up in literally like 4 days in mid flower and then it kept getting worse. I had just major leaf blight and some of the really sickly plants had brownish green stems that seemed to creep. Could have also been leaf spot disease. Anyways I appreciate your advice Joe, you definitely recognize the symptoms im speaking of. This year I rototilled the whole greenhouse floor about 2 ft deep and the plants are going in giant holes only filled with new soil because I fear the soil outta last years smarties is no good. Also im mixing some crab shell 2-3-0 in my soil because ive heard it has benefits against diseases and fungal problems. So im taking precautions, just not gonna worry about it too much, this year im just gonna try and have fun. I have tons of pics I attached some you can see how it just mauled my fan leaves last year lol

+rep and subbed, looks like you are off to a great start! I am also curious to where you got the screen and how much it costed. I am very concerned about budworms where I live as just having the back door open a few hours allowed moths to lay eggs on my indoor plants, cant imagine how bad outdoor would be with no screens
