Cucumber Mosaic Virus (w/ Pix)

Just a follow up- I think what I have is 2,4-D herbicide damage and not CMV. Some close up of the leaf crinkle/deformity seems to be a closer match with herbicide damage. I must admit that CMV and herbicide drift does look very similar.

I'm sure the apartment complex I live at probably had their groundskeepers spray some weed herbicide around, and it wafted onto a few of my plants. Either that or I ticked off the guy who parks under my patio with water runoff.
