Hey guys I have a suspicion that my douglahs and a jonah of mine might have mosiac virus. Can you guys help identify it? There's even distorted growth, and some extra dark green foliage. I'm worried casue I dont want the rest of my plants to be contaminated if it is a disease.
I'm a noob btw. (first time growing from seed)

Personally impossible to diagnose anything from those pictures ... From those shots I would say nothing wrong with them ... Why do you ask anyway ... Symptoms ????

Just the yellow veins on the leaves and the distortion going on with some new leaves.
 
I see what you are talking about. First - the single most common reason for yellowing is overwatering, and is particularly common with people who are new to growing, or at least new to growing indoors. How much and how often are you watering? Less likely, but yellowing can also be from either a nutrient deficiency or excess. How much and how often are you feeding?

Keep in mind that peppers like it to be moist (think "humid") rather than wet. If you are watering every day, it's too much.
 
I think a higher quality photo is needed. It is really hard to tell if the leaves are mottled or if the yellowing is more consistent with overwater/nutrient deficiency. If you have a sunny window you could always move it away from the others and see how it progresses.

Thanks for your advice.
Ok, lets see, I am watering when I see they've dried out pretty well, which is usually between 3-4 days, I feed them every other water with compost tea( boogie brew) sea 90 minerals and humic acid.  They are in black gold seedling mix, mixed with a bit of worm castings. the mix is mostly peat and perlite.

From what I see looks to be a cal/mag deficiency. Are you fertilizing? Water soaked plants can cause this as well but they soil looks very dry.

Cal mag is what I was suspecting actually, I 've been giving them boogie brew compost tea with sea-90 minerals and a granule of humic acid to help with mineral uptake. Not sure if im over doing it, or if i should find a strictly calmag supplement thats organic...which is a bit hard.
Btw, Thanks a bunch guys! I appreciate everyone's input.
 
Some of my plants are showing a cal/mag deficiency. I posted a bunch of pics in my glog. I ordered OilyCann by earth juice this morning.

Also if you didn't want to spend that much money and don't need the calcium you could mix up a tablespoon or two of epsom salts into a gallon of water to fortify them with some magnesium.
