fmv, mites, genetics?

[kinghat]

a couple of my plants have a weird patterning on their leaves. here is a WM1 cuttings fresh leaves:



and here is a DTE graft:



these are in my tent. i used a loupe and checked the bad side of the leaves and along the veins and couldnt see any mites so

Nutrient deficiency. If nutrients are present, it could be that they just need to work out their nutrient flow as new plants. But I think you may be missing manganese, boron, zinc or one of the other major nutrients like magnesium or iron. First guess is manganese though.

I personally think it's just fmv. I'm my experience, mites have a different pattern (spots are more circular, greening as they spread outward). It certainly could be a nutrient deficiency, but if you have other cuttings in the same conditions without these symptoms, it's unlikely.

Yours look like they are growing well so I wouldn't do anything extreme to rock the boat. Keep on taking good care of them and they'll sort themselves out in a couple of months.

All of my Mario 48 cuttings had/have that look (I've definitely had others but that's the one I'm paying attention to this winter). My two older trees grow out of the mottling as the season progresses but I thought a new cutting would perhaps have less. I took more cuttings this year hoping to improve it, but this year they are equally vigorous but have that mottled look still. Next year I'm going to take some green cuttings and then try rooting those to reduce the virus.

Nutrient deficiency and FMD (fig mosaic disease, caused by FMV (virus)) often go hand in hand. FMD, from my own experience, is the most common cause of nutrient deficiency. I've seen nutrient deficiency caused by poor nutrient absorption or lack of fertilizer as trees come out of dormancy, which results in the first leaf or two showing deformities and mottling, followed by perfectly healthy leaves. Nothing to worry about there. If all/many of your leaves are deformed/blotchy/mottled/evenly spotted, double up your fertilizer and mineral supplements.

Here is my Black Manzanita last year... It looked really bad. But after a few months of fattening it up and pleasing it, it outgrew all of the signs of FMD/nutrient deficiency.

Fig mite activity shows up as irregular spotting, caused by thinning out of leaf matter, very different from blotchiness, mottling or even spotting.
Here are examples from my own collection, confirmed by examining the leaves with a microscope, before I learned about them, their danger to fig trees, and how control/eliminate them:

It's hard to argue with @Figgin' A , and @Inflorescence so I won't.
