The gushers clone I recieved was a dud. All the clones were duds I got to root off her also. Luckily was in quarantine entire time. No bugs anywhere. Let her go about 5 weeks into bloom and had zero trichomes, no smell, leafs that would die for no apparent reason and was just weak all around with lots of horizontal branching. Clones did exact same thing. First dud I ever had or seen in person but knew what it was from Icmag threads I followed years ago. Red Ribbon Nursery was source...

Duds are the first sign of it. Hop latent virus, read up. Not a lot of info out there yet. Could be someone sent you crap too lol. And the whole hype surrounding some of these cuts is rediculos

yeah i seen you post about it and knew about the dudding so figured id post about seeing it first hand recently. $150 for a dud sucks but ill take it as a learning experience.

You shouldn’t run into that a whole lot. Don’t see it as much as I did back when it was on ICmag heavy. Sucks that you had to go through that I would hate all that wasted time. Thankful I haven’t ran into it but I’d rather take that then deal with russets. Very very selective on who I get cuts from now

I've been growing for 24 of the last 27 years and all I've had to deal with were spider mites, bud rot, human varmints and a plague of scale insects that were introduced to my garden from a Madagascar palm that I threw under the grow light one winter.

The scale
I fought those little buggers for a couple of years. They'd cover the stems of my plants and it took me shutting down and restarting to get rid of them.

I've ordered and recieved clones over the years and have never contracted anything, but spider mites.
Knock on wood.

"Only spidermites" LMAO! I've had some that were nearly freaking indestructible.

Although, I once got a plant contaminated with fusarium, and it actually is amazing at just how quickly that fungus can destroy a plant.

The last time I had spider Mites, I nuked them and every house plant with Forbid 4f.
2 applications within a few days of each other and I've been spider mite free for 4 years and hope to keep it that way by practicing Safe Sex - I mean gardening. :P

I forgot. :o
I did a homemade recirculating deep water culture back in 94 from some book I read.
I couldn't find a mag pump so I used a regular submersible that heated the water badly.
I made it til about week 6 of flower in the 90 degree rez temps until bam they all died in about 2 days.
Even with all the bad ass tech for deep water culture, I've been to leary to try it again.

All powerful comments. Sorry you guys had to go through that stuff. It's not cool to be giving each other this stuff. The mite thing is tough too, but they're beatable. I got mites down, it's all about switching the product you use. Hit em with something new every 3 days.

how did the dudding spread from original plant you recieved with the virus to other plants? was it through scissors/razor blade or from just being in same area? luckily i have 6 tents besides my main area and kept each clone i received 3 floors away from actual main area but id like to understand how it spread for you?

I tryed contact the guy i got it from but hes not on Strainly anymore at moment and im sure he would deny it. From what i can remember from our conversation he got it one step away from cookie fam but he could have just been bullshitting.

It's the scissors that are spreading it. That contact, tool to tool, plant to plant. I use 91% iso religiously anymore lol

I don't have pics, but it's hard to see in person for sure. Like what's wrong here lol

I took some close up pics of the ones I put in the ground. I was hoping mother nature might revive them. It didn't work, lol.
The stems get a really weird woody appearance and if you clone those branches they take forever to callous (if at all). The ones I threw outside looked like hemp. Saddest damn plants I've seen. I went back and checked the old IC mag dudding threads from 2013-14is and there was no doubt I had some duds.

Hope this makes sense. I'm still on my first cup of java.

Thats where i referenced for pics also. im just glad all that info was available and macsnax brought it up recently which made me go back and look at ICmag and put 2 and 2 together and ditch the gusher before i went any farther with it.

Sidenote- my ECSD from Shoreline is looking great. 6ft tall sativaish bush that streched very similar to my headbanger sour pheno, like identical almost. Started a gg4 at same time and glue is over a foot shorter and the glue has almost double size buds and trichomes developing faster but this ECSD has alot of great growing traits i prefer, cant wait see how she finishes!

This is my first post here...I heard about both strainly and this thread from a friend on reddit
Please do not buy from blue spruce genetics...made an order,paid with PayPal,that was w weeks ago.he keeps saying hes waiting for shipping containers...yeah right.
It has been 3 weeks and every Monday it's the same excuse.he has w reviews I didnt see that say he took payment and ghosted..I think the good reviews might be made from multiple accounts
