I have 3 identical plants and for some strange reason one if them is showing some strange signs maybe a disease or virus ? I'm not sure they are being treated and in the same environment with multiple plants but it is the only one is showing these signs it's been happening since germination and every new growth shows this pattern. Some pictures :

Identical as in clones, or seeds, cause if seeds they wont be identical, but have had the same issue a couple times but i attributed it to just genetic mutation, which kinda looks like it in your case, any pictures of the other plants for comparison?

Yeah I forgot to add genetic mutation I have a grow journal here where I originally thought it may be that. I hope it is not a virus/infection there is many that effect cannabis and show symptoms similar to what I'm experiencing... Some of which may not spread to other plants. Hopefully this is not the case.

From seeds but what I meant is I have 3 young plants started at the same time being fed the same, in the same enviroment and only one is showing this and I have everything dialed in... yeah it may a genetic mutation I gave it to a non grower friend to try putting on their balcony and get a bit of experience.
.. here's a pic of my current grow under AMCRP regulations. I will take another picture of the younger ones looking healthy and growing rapidly a bit later.

Edit: these are the older ones the one I was showing is about 2 weeks old they are not showing any signs of this problem in any of the above plants or any if the younger ones

yeah probably just some variegation aka genetic mutation, a lot of the so called virus's that people talk about usually aren't virus's but other issues, like the whole TMV myth that's been around for a decade + but i don't think there has been any actual tested and confirmed cases, and in the end it was either just variegation, some genetic mutation, broad mite infestation, or grow environment hiccups.

But the way i look at it is if the plant is healthy and thats the only issue, it should be absolutely fine. i would actually love to have some true colorful variegation genetics as it would be something fun to play with.
 
:toke: -- we see this often in seedlings here, starting right from first true leaves,... I've not found any good explanation for it so far,.. sometimes it stays the entire grow, some stop after several nodes,... true viral symptoms do include this type of color break, or something similar to it, but there are usually other co-symptoms that make for more suspect viral infections,..only way to tell for sure is to have it tested by a lab or the DIY kits, and those are all very specific to a type, so no one test will cover all the possible types,... And BTW, Mr. Sparkle is wrong to say there are no scientifically proven cases of trans-species viral infection in cannabis, tobacco mosaic is a definite culprit in some cases, as are several others, including hemp mosaic!
 
Frequently get strange leaf colors and patterns when growing plants of landrace origin,Hindu kush definitely can get weird a lot of three leaved leafs and strange leaf colors are common in the afghanica variety I am currently growin a purple kush auto with a neon green leaflet

Just haven't seen too many examples just a lot people freaking out that they have it but in the end its usually something else,so just my observation though, not ruling it out all together just very very rare, but im no expert or knowledgeable about it as again i've never seen it.
