We have a Hermie we are using as an experiment indoors. Some of her leaves are disfigured. They also have some spots and discoloration. And some of them look too dark. Could it be Mosaic disease?
Being grown under Plant Flouros and 3-26 watt cfl's. We know the lighting is not ideal, but it's what we have.

Please help us keep her going. We are learning so much from her :)

You ask if it is a nute issue but didn't mention anything about what you're using?
Tiger Bloom 3tsp per gal with 1 tbls molasses 1x per week. 12/12 lights
She was an outdoor plant that hermied so we transplanted to a pot and brought her in just to see what would happen with her.
Sorry for the lack of info.

in or out a hermie is a hermie. those marks are the least of your worries.
Lol....she has been fun to experiment with. She's become our "teaching" plant. Because of her we've been learning about lighting/bugs/ferts/nute def and burn etc.. Not to mention she has produced buds(tests) with a decent high. In fact we're enjoying a bit o the bud right now...and I have to say it's not too bad :)
On the plus side...we started off the 1st couple of weeks pulling all of the sacs off as they appeared. Quit doing that a few weeks ago and hasn't produced an overabundance of seeds. Sorry for ramblin...stoned :)

your overwatering and those leaves are too close to the cfls. the leaf thing is just a guess, maybe ozone damage of sort. that bud looks pretty saturated though..

cfl's are about a foot away....3- 26watt and 2- 4' flouro plant lights over the top. Over watering could be a possibility. Would the leaf deformity be from over watering? Several leaves have the offset petioles as shown in the pics. What do you mean by " looks pretty saturated"? Calyx production seems behind schedule as well.
Thank you for your observations...much appreciated!

..cfl are way way to far away. you only have about for a few inches of useable light on those smaller ones. and is most likely the reason they didnt do much and look fluffy...or calyx production is down. no light

So should we move the lights to within 3"-4" away?
Thank you so much for taking the time to help a newbie....+rep

any time ive ever used cfl i have them no more than 3 to 4 inch away. and more smaller wattage ones to get better light distribution. the bigger ones like 150 or 250 cfl have better light of course and dont need to be this close, but that size does.
no prob, we where all noobs at one time.
