Hey all, after like 2 f*ckin' years we're back on strainly. Crazy to have seen this forum grow from like 10 pages to 277. Tried to rock it out in the California legal scene and..... welp..... were back on strainly lololol :clap: went from a 120 light comercial grow to 1 315 cmh, 1 clone rack and 2 leds for a flower space... all in a basement in Illinois :-?

Unless you offer virus tested plants your kinda joining the pile atm.

But welcome back..

Mamafunk put in a lot of work back when. Way before this virus was even known. She was on strainly offering the best/low prices on fire genetics. 100% behind the inspiration to start our nursery. I personally will always have a spot for them :blsmoke::blsmoke:.

So did mainely cup winning clones.. He was actually a top notch guy.. But still passed out a virus.
Even the nicest people can have sick plants.. This testing needs to be standard practice now. Let's raise the bar.

Welcome back Mama funk, look forward to the test results.

I do test our plants, not only for hplvd but also fusarium, puthium and for potency and terpene profile on finished flower so you can know what to expect from your harvest. I agree that testing is important but it's not a complete guaranteed solution. A negative test doesn't mean the plant will never get the disease. Someone could have a clean std test and then a week later have an std but be able to show a recent negative test. It all starts with clean nursery practices and maintaining an entirely pest free environment. There's a lot of factors involved and it's not as simple as just a test result.
 
Obviously a test doesn't mean a plant will not get a virus after.. But if you are taking in new stock and mixing it with untested plants obviously that could happen. That would be pointless and stupid.
I'd feel pretty safe with a plant or strain tested three times (and not exposed to untested stock).
I'm sure 50% of the buyers don't have a clue and buy any shitty clone from any source. The rest of us know our shit. We don't need to be educated about ipm. I kinda feel that sellers need to either step up or gtfo of selling untested shit. Fucking up gardens all over.
Especially the ones selling a clone for 1k, ask them if they tested anything( $20)
And they can't even respond
 
^^ he is right. Vendors need to realize that this is a reality and testing and quarantine protocols have to be taken seriously. It is also the consumers responsibility to spot check these guys, post results (especially clean tests) publicly and holding people accountable. Once a vendor realizes that if even 3/10 customers will be testing their product, and if that test comes back dirty they will held accountable and that information will be circulated thru forums like these, then we will see a change in whos in this business for the long haul and those looking for a quick buck. In my younger years I was a hobbyist powerlifter and went down the road of anabolics. Like the cannabis community, there is a anabolics/ lifting community. Testing of products started to become available and you could have just about any compound tested in a lab for relatively cheap. Once that became the norm we seen a “changing of the guard”, so to speak, and the low hanging fruit was swatted away.

Yeah same here we had the source check.. Now long gone.. But we could probably do with a review forum for clone vendors. Strainly reviews are are nice but they are pretty much delivery confirmations. I've been following node labs, black sheep, dark heart and other nurseries who use tissue culture and can guarantee a sterile clone - pest and disease free.. I kinda feel like they are raising the bar. I don't expect clone sellers to be using tissue culture. But testing stock, isolating new clones and testing those before adding to the collection should be standard practice. I won't buy any more unless sellers start posting test results up.

what he says is true...i was on those forums when they got raided and moved, and keeping track of bad vendors vs good vendors was literally in the communities hands, and they aced it. but we had all of bodybuilding behind the effort
 
I try not to buy from ppl I dont know of on there. I stick to better known breeders for example mzjill, shoreline, and so on....its usually cheaper buying direct so its a great way to connect straight to the breeder, not some random person and get legit genetics.

I understand strainly was made to connect ppl like us together and ppl who do breed their own strains...and it CAN be great for that, and mostly is....but then you have assholes who are there to rip ppl off.

I dont know anything about this current issue involving diseased plants....but im sure out of anyone who shipped them out, half knew what they were doing and the other half most likely didnt know their plants were ill.

But at the same time, trading things like this over the internet is risky, always has been, and will continue to be - unfortunately.

I still miss those forums. I've not seen any growing sites be pulled down like how they did with bodybuilding forums.

Shinobi's gmo and icc beleaf cut finally cloned and starting flower. Gmo is on the left and stretchy like it's suppose to be. Both moms vegged out nice so hoping no viruses in either.

Uhhh, not trying to be a dick but they do kind of look “weak”. Especially the one in the middle on the left. Just don’t seem to have much branching and not very productive. And I believe (I could be mistaken)auntyjane had an ICC in quarantine the other month that tested positive. They posted up the results on IG. They actually quarantine new gear

They were under a shitty 65w led for a month so bringing them back under my good light that's free now since I run perpetual. Need a better veg light but we'll see how they turn out

I'd actually second that. The weird whitish mottled thing going on too. Hopefully it's nothing serious
 
That GMO looks healthy to me. GMO tends to be lanky and stretchy in nature.
I had some plants from PBC that I also tossed. Most recent being the White Truffle cut. Vegged her out 2 months and brittle as can be. Tropicana cookies MTN cut makes the list as potentially dudded as well. Definitely something wrong with them. Most common signs of HLV being reduced vigor, malformed branching, brittleness/weakness, lack of resin production, and lack of terpenes. These mutant lines like OGKB grow in such oddities that trying to base a viroid diagnosis off of visual inspection is difficult. I think PBC has clean cuts. Just not all of them.

I have 3 in flower at different stages, 6 weeks, 4 weeks and 2 weeks all healthy and looking great from Dookiefarms. I took cuts and they were slow to root but once they get going they veg stupid fast and the stretch in flower is no joke, around 2-3x. Dookies clones are legit and healthy, not sure about Shinobi, I wasn't impressed with my interaction with Shinobi and will not buy from him.

Tried to snap some pics for you so you can compare when you put yours in flower, lights are off so my phone is having trouble focusing, this is the best I can get right now.
