First time dealing with possible virus.

Those symptoms really look like my Cymbs but that's just what it seems without any certainty.

It is grown inside with a lot of other orchids, but maybe this particular orchid is more sensitive than the other ones, I saw a picture of an orchid with Cymbidium mosaic virus and I thought it looked just like mine. Maybe it's just something fungal and I'm overreacting. I'll keep an eye on it and keep it far away from the other ones just in case.

One thing that caught my att in your post is the qty of fert and suplements you're using.
Some orchids are sensitive to excessive fertilization.

It might not be a virus but, just to be on the safe-side, I would keep it away from your other plants/orchids until you know. Good luck!

I will stop using the Silica one and the root inoculants, but keep the MSU copy, the kelp, the calcium and magnesium and maybe the humic acids (I think those are fine).

Thank you, I'll move it to a place where I can rule out if it is fungal or not.

Can you post a close photo of the flowers?
Usually virus leave marks in flowers, such as deformations, color streaks, etc

I'll post them tonight, I don't have them in my office, but they don't really seem deformed to me

Here they are. They look beautiful and normal to me.

The flowers look excellent. I suspect that it is a fungus or bacteria, probably pretty localized. Just keep separate and watch it... the heavily spotted leaves will probably drop. The one that looks "burned" might actually be exactly that - heat or cold. The end of that leaf could be trimmed (single-edge disposable razor blade would be ideal) - the spot farther down can be left, to preserve as much green leaf as possible.

Thank you, it's such a relief to read that. I'll be vigilant.

I've thought about this a lot. I have a plant of this (originally from Ray) that gets terrible care. It doesn't have, and has never had, a single leaf spot. I forget to water it, I put it in too much sun, it gets low humidity, a rat bit into it.

I doubt your indoor humidity is very high in the winter; I recall México City being quite dry in winter. So I would keep it segregated. Maybe you can find some virus test strips eventually, either in México or another country.
