Leaves very strange "design"

thats a virus probably.

sorry bro.
do you have any Agricultural universities in Romania? they might be able to tell you what it is and what the likely vector is.

i had a bad virus outbreak one year. it was from a thrip infestation.

if you can wipe out the vector... aphids thrips or what ever, you can stop it from spreading more.

I see you had something looking almost like this, found this thread

It is the only picture I found, closest look to my problem. Do you remember if you found an answer?

i was able to determine that i had thrips.

i was also able to find out that thrips and aphids are the most common vectors for spreading virus's. ergo i assume that the thrips caused this as i had no aphids to speak of.

this virus killed the plant totally. it spread to a few others... it basically killed off my season.

id highly reccomend you at least isolate that plant from the rest of yours.
 
OK, thank you!
 
The plant was already isolated. So far, no other have the symptoms. The "subject" is in a pot.
It is a CGN22091 plant, it started really nice... I have another one, in the ground, but it is smaller (harsh environment). This one looks clean, which makes me think the disease was not in the seeds already.
 
So far I cut the leaves having the problem, let's see what happens next....
 
You say "that's a virus probably" :)  So, maybe not. Will see how things are developing next days.
 
BTW, what disinfectant could I use to clean the pot?

Bleach solution. To disinfect pots, soak them in a solution containing one part household bleach to 9 parts water for a minimum of 10 minutes. Then put pots in a dish detergent and water solution.

IMHO, i would say without a doubt viral. If i was in your shoes i would trash any potted plant showing any symptom like it. If the plant is in the ground, i would dig 2 feet past any roots and throw away that soil too. Any leaf that has fell would ve picked up and thrown away. Viruses can be extremely hard to get rid of and must be taken seriously and quickly. Viruses can stay if left up to half a century or more. The tobacco industry would light there fields on fire and abandon the field. Im sorry OP. On a side note, queequeg152 had a virus and is now virus free.
