Ok. For starters I am not connected with the product manufacturer.

We have a test group of plants that are infected with mosaic virus.

Strain: Kandy Kush - rooted cuttings from infected plant.
System: Flood & Drain hydroton
Flowering rooted cuttings no veg. Potted/flower started on 2/13/14.

We have a 4x8 table on a 160 gallon reservoir running GH Flora, CalMag, RO water @ 975ppm / pH 5.7 - 5.8.

The reservoir was dosed with RNA Pro on 2/27/14 early AM.

Here is an image taken before any RNA Pro application.

This plant will be used for online images. We will see how she does.

48 hours in.

Noticed improved growth rate (stretch) and new growth tips appear somewhat healthier. Old growth is of course still ugly.

No. Sorry it was not possible to have an untreated control reservoir. The 'test' was not a planned event rather an attempt to cure a real infection.

Vector was winged root aphids. Source was possibly/likely FFOF.

This is becoming an epidemic that myself and other OPCL's in Colorado that I consult for are very interested in solving.
