Yeah, and nope, had to rotate it out to bring in new genetics.Is that c91 what I think it is, and do you still have it?

Should always wash your hands before going in your grow. Even if it is just to go check on things and not expecting to do anything. Something can come up. A plant could have fallen over or something and you just go to grab it really quick completely forgetting about your hands.Damn, you can bring it into your grow just by handling dried bud that was infected.
every time i think about cuts. im reminded of the fire i can find in a pack. & then i see the horror stories here lol.Curious to know how many people still have cuts they’ve gotten from Strainly that are still keepers in their garden. Maybe let’s say a year ago or whenever the getting was really good on there.
I think I’ll play it safe(r) & stay on seed island awhile longer. Never taken in cuts, what I grow for myself is good enough to not chase cuts. I’ll keep pheno hunting & if I don’t find a unicorn I’ll just take a tolerance break & get faded off some mids lol
I’m not putting on a hazmat suit just to grow some plants. I get it but I’m not about that life.
That's great, but I swear that the cut of Chili Verde I got from them last year had HPLvD regardless of their attempts to clear it from their nursery.The thing about DarkHeart and the spreading of HPLvD was at the time no one had a clue what it was and of course one of the largest clone distributors in Cali is going to be distributing it like hot cakes. Especailly when it is in the popular strain at the time (GG4). I blame them yes for spreading it but at the time there was little information on it. The fact that they put in the resourcing with the University and have isolated out the root cause and also have come up with the main testing for the virus is at least some reassurance that they took responsibility and addressed the issue. I mean it is not like they created the virus itself. Theoretically it was someone crossing over in to the hemp industry that brought the virus over to the cannabis side. Hard to find patient zero now though.
Regardless though, I have talked with a lot of the people at UC Davis who run the darkheart program for testing and they do their own rigorous testing even more so than what PCG disclosed on their IG post. I have tested out DHN Venom OG, GG4, Skywalker OG, and all have come back negative. The fact that they both are running such a rigorous program to weed out HPLvD is very reassuring.
Also the HPLvD testing is $25 a piece for three leaves of the same plant to be tested.
Unless your looking for a very specific cut its really not worth it. Its a real pain in the ass not getting what you expect and pheno hunting is more fun . Most of them are pretty underwhelming compared to what you can find in seed form these days. It does make sense if you have very limited space.Curious to know how many people still have cuts they’ve gotten from Strainly that are still keepers in their garden.

Any pictures of the grow or final product? I happen to have that cut, will be running it soon.That's great, but I swear that the cut of Chili Verde I got from them last year had HPLvD regardless of their attempts to clear it from their nursery.
I would think if it tested out dudded it would no longer be in their rotation. They do monthly testing on all their main mothers and a percentage of the production plants every week. Would be hard for it to slip by. I mean the science behind it is there.That's great, but I swear that the cut of Chili Verde I got from them last year had HPLvD regardless of their attempts to clear it from their nursery.
I appreciate all the people posting in this thread it has been very informative. I would have ordered & probably got burned in more ways than one. I used to envy folks talking about clones in the throwback Clone Only Thread but this Strainly thread has me saying nah I'm good. Only testing I want to do is a smoke test lolevery time i think about cuts. im reminded of the fire i can find in a pack. & then i see the horror stories here lol.
been hunting 10+ years. think ill stick to it.
I gets plenty high
(growing for myself & fam)
Nothing I'm looking mainly bc I never had it to begin with. I can settle for trying out S1's if they are availableUnless your looking for a very specific cut its really not worth it.

S1's are great and in my opinion the hunt is allot of fun . Let's be honest this is allot of work, unless your surviving on growing there is no point to do it if your not having fun.I appreciate all the people posting in this thread it has been very informative.

To me it was fairly obvious that it was dudding, because some branches were affected more than others. General lack of vigor and tricombs are usually a pretty tell-tale sign, especially when some branches are affected but not others.I would think if it tested out dudded it would no longer be in their rotation.

What made you think it was dudded??
100% Got a lot of variety going & will be doing a lot of pollen chucking. Be even harder quarantining, nursing, & testing new cuts. More power to the people who can fit all that into their grow schedule.S1's are great and in my opinion the hunt is allot of fun .

Looks good either way, how did it smoke?To me it was fairly obvious that it was dudding, because some branches were affected more than others. General lack of vigor and tricombs are usually a pretty tell-tale sign, especially when some branches are affected but not others.
Here's a pic of a dudded branch of that plant..

Here's a different branch from the same plant, which still seems a bit dudded, but not so affected..

Meanwhile the plants from seed in the same grow seemed fine and normal.
It was decent smoke, but I frankly have higher expectations from "elite clones". The plants from seed I had growing right next to it turned out better.Looks good either way, how did it smoke?
Pretty sure this is not dudding. I mean if this is your observation vs the science of testing then I would say I trust testing way more.To me it was fairly obvious that it was dudding, because some branches were affected more than others.
