They dont all display the horizontal branches but that is one of the tell-tale signs. When you observe that, cut one of the branches and then bend it. If it snaps off clean, its likely dudded. That along with those pinwheel pointy shaped leaves -hard to describe - thats why I saved that pic for illustrating (wish I could credit the pic but I cant recall what forum I found it on) They usually have light green stems and undersized fan leaves too.I didnt realize branch angles were also affected by it. I grow 100% outdoor and I noticed with my last run, which was all clones, several plants had wider branch angles, like the pics a few posts above, and I was having to support the fuck out of them as they got heavier.
edit: I had an MB15 from pink box in with my last run, and it was acquired around the same time frame as other people who have tested the cut and got a positive diagnosis.
When I'd observe any of those traits, I'd cull immediately. I also took cuts from the tops closest to the light. This helped a lot but nothing truly eradicates it other than letting go of infected cuts and being meticulous about cross contamination.
If you suspect your MB15 is dudded, get it out your grow asap. It sucks but you dont want it to spread throughout your garden.
