Greetings RIU,
Humility, respect, and arrogance....
Since I started this grow, I have been avidly reading and commenting in threads on RIU. I have posted over 1,000 times in the last 3 months. The way these posts are being accepted and/or rejected is as variable as types of growz and growerz. Some will troll me to death...exclaiming that their opinions and advice are fact and absolutely correct and mine are wrong and some even say that my 'advice' is going to make newbies kill their plants. They even trail me through the threads just to be hateful and insulting. Unfortunately, I have at times gotten caught up in this childish behavior. I am only human... While others tell me how great I am and PM me with all manner of questions because I seem to them to have a very keen and expansive knowledge of cultivation...both of these are true AND false statements. First no one is ever 100% right or wrong on this or any other web forum. Secondly, I am just another guy doing his best to cultivate the best medicine he can. My opinions and experience are based on 1000s of hours of reading and learning. Sometimes I am right, other times wrong. Therefore, as for myself (and whole heartedly suggested to all who are members here) I intend to show some humility and acknowledge the fact that we are all newbies and can be taught new information at any time.
Anyway, the reason for this post and video...I have an issue in my VK that many growerz (including myself up until now) believe cannot and would not ever happen in cannabis. She has TMV or Tobacco Mosaic Virus. I was up all night reading and researching on what the issue is with her. As you will see in the video, new growth is coming in twisted and curved, yellowing and mottled on 1 side of the leaves. The ONLY thing I could find resembling this issue is indeed TMV. It is a disease and has no cure. So there is nothing I can do to correct it, therefore I am not going to worry about it. I have no idea how she got it...could have been with her from seed stage. All the info I gathered says it is going to have an effect on my final yield. However, there is no way to know by how much, because I do not know what the final weight would be if the issue had not come up. Luckily my LSD has not been infected.
So that all said, take a look and make your own diagnosis...after all I could be wrong and have enough humility to admit that. Also a tough enough skin to handle the severe trolling this will bring about when I post it on the open forum. I feel a lot of growerz will benefit from this knowledge of TMV in cannabis, so it was important to me to share it. Do with it what you will...
