TMV Outbreak -- Need advice

Finally concluded that all my problems have stemmed from buying clones with a mosaic virus FML :wall:.

Check the pic...theres the one big one with lots of these sideways curled leaves, and the one right next to it has a couple leaves that are starting to curl (its spreading).

They have been vegging for almost 8 weeks now and I am about to put them into flower. I'm fucking pissed that a reputable clinic sold these to me...I really want to go back and demand a refund.

In any rate, I know RNA pro is my only option. Anyone out there that can vouch for its effectiveness?

Even though they probably already have it, would pruning the affected leaves help prevent the spread to the other two not showing symptoms?

I bought seeds for the next one (never getting clones again). There is no way I am going to let them get infected; is there any way of 100% sanitizing my tent or should I just scrap it and get a new one?

lol this has been my issue this whole time researching...but from what I have found the sideways curling of the leaf is 100% TMV. Theres been a whole slew of problems since I got them making me think mites/nute burn/other shit but this sideways curl is really starting to show now.

@woody333333 Thats an incredibly ignorant statement considering all the information out there.

I am not going to debate whether this is mites or TMV, theres a hundred other posts about that all with no conclusion. I am looking for people with this same issue to give some input on their experience.

So you have scoped for broad mites already? I've heard they can make your leaves curl like that.

I'm sorry but I'm with Hex's first post and Racer on this one.
I have yet to see any cannabis plant get tested and come back as positive for TMV. I've had several do that and have the "look" of TMV and they get treated for mites and come out just fine! The thing being is that when I've had that "look" it was confined to single or multiple side shoot/branch's of only 1 or 2 plants out of er, ah,,,many. The first time I saw that I left it untreated and the problem never progressed in flower. It returned with the next clones from those plants....Then I got wondering and looked VERY carefully.....Broad Mites it was. They did not increase due to preventive measures taken at that time (Forbid 4F used for mites in another set of clones = whole grow treated at that stage).
Treat for regular mites.

Forbid works! It is NOT a systemic (It does not move through the plants vascular system), it is translaminar (it moves from the top of the leaf at application to the bottom where the little bastards feed). It takes from 5 - 10 days to do the job and has an effective life of 20 days +/- a couple. With that in mind it is easy to see that 1 application should do the job. It is also MOA 6 rated (this means that it has very little to no chance of resistance developing in the pest to the Forbid).
