been waiting for someone to mention this... AFAIK the "10% vertical transmission" isnt cofirmed. Stuff is starting to get sciencey, but yes i wondered the same thing and i have super old clones (no bodhi cali-o crosses though), it seems to be consensus that not all plants will express deleterious symptoms especially when grown in good conditions... hopefully studies will show a lower chance of vertical transmission once some controlled studies are done

Yeah, sounds like the guys pushing EC/PPM are experiencing it the worst. Will be very interesting to see how it all plays out. Certainly got me wondering if I should wipe slate, but it sounds like it's already everywhere and has been.

If I can open a can of worms…. Hop Latent Viroid has been the buzz on the street the last couple weeks. I’ve heard numbers like if you have a clone, there’s a 30-90% chance you have it in your garden already. I’m also hearing there’s a 10 percent chance it’s passed down in seeds.

I bring this up because apparently it can pass between plants so easily as them rubbing together or using the same scissors to trim. Well, Bodhi mentions his Cali-O “dudded” out back in his potcast… Sounds like this is going to be one hell of a stir up in the industry.

“But Drew, these seeds grow fine!!” Sure, but when a hop crop tests positive for HLV, they burn it all down. Maybe not big implications for those of us growing our own medicine, but wild to think about nonetheless. Testing and fixing the viroid with tissue culture is definitely cost prohibitive and it’s been around since at least 2014 and GG4…

Anyways… definitely looking at my plants funny now, but I’m not so sure my seed stock is much better save for landraces and antiquities. Food for thought.
Also consider that the clone company that's doing the most with regard to paid services for testing for and using tissue culture to clean up HLV in cannabis is also likely to have been one of the worst spreaders. It starts to make ya wonder if once they reached a certain point it was kind of a planned distribution.

Kinda like when Phylos was mapping the cannabis genome for scientific documentation with no plans to sell cannabis and then, BAM, they're releasing seeds for profit and vowing to replace modern cannabis with their "phylosed" cannabis.

I’m really interested in hearing a final report on these. I think I’m going to try them indoors in a micro environment
Finally figured out what was going on with some of the leaves on this plant (weird brown bulleye shapes here and there)... alternia. Read up on what can be done about, sounds like not much. Will try Dr Zymes I guess.

Ahhh yes, the usps showed on time today with a hoodie for my girl, and beans for us both!
Me too!

How do you keep them so healthy, being surrounded with all that brush and tall grass. Where are the creepy crawlies and everything in-between :bigjoint:
Nothing special . There are always lots of different critters on them . Like these guys

Lots of leafhoppers , spiders , lady bugs , bees , and a bunch I have no idea what they are lol Even a few aphids . Nothing seems to bother the plants much other then a little nibble here and there.

Cheers :)
