What you think is going on with this plant

Have had this cut of Kush Mints for a year and the whole time it has grown like this. Been grown in hydro rdwc and also coco. All clones look the same as mother plant.
Rdwc had water chiller, auto dosier on ph and water changed regularly. Have used Jacks, masterblend, GH, and several more different nutes but nothing has changed. Have added up to 2 mg of epsom per gal and no effect.

Roots look great but plant does not show the coloration of the other plants growing in the exact same rdwc system or the same coco.

It does look awfully viral - you have had it for a year so, are you able to finish it successfully? How does it behave when the buds are coming on? Has anything else is the grow room picked it up?

That last pick with those bent leaves almost make it look like the chem leaf verigation. If that's what it is it's by far the worse case I've seen
How does it grow?

To me it's infected with the mosaic virus. And you can't get rid of it. But if you like the cut, then self the bitch, and her seeds won't carry over the virus. Because the mosaic virus can only be pass from seed to seed, or from hand to seed. It's a pathogen that lives on a seed(s) shell, and when a uncleaned seed is germinated, it embeds it's self into the tap root, and that plant will stay infected for the rest of it's life!

If it was the mosaic virus wouldn't it infect the rest of his garden? Unless he's super sterile with everything in his grow I would think he would have passed it to at least one other plant in a year of growing it

The Mosaic Virus cannot be passed from an infected plant to other plants by human contact or by plants even touching each other, it can only be passed to a plant through germination, as the pathogen only attaches it's self to seeds. And it can lay dormant on a seed for years if the right conditions persist. That's why most agriculture seed manufacturers dunk their seeds into sodium hypochlorite, followed by trisodium phosphate, to kill all seedborne viruses, like the Mosaic Virus! But as a cannabis grower, you don't have to go to that extreme, really all you have to do before germinating your seeds, is wash your hands, then dunk your seeds in water that is hotter than 112F for 1 minute, before germinating them!
