What do you guys think on this RS11 from Lab Hollow? It's in transition to first week of flower. She is stretching quite a bit now.

Still looks shitty to me though.

Also sketchy that I paid $100 for RS11 and a few weeks later he changed the name to RS11 Doja Pak cut and raised the price to $200.

So who knows if his old seed stock has it?
Idk if his seed stock is i just know what I have seen come from state genetic.. Seed junky was also put on blast recently for hplvd but no one has asked that about their bean stock. Not sure if many breeders are going to be willing to step forward an admit they have been infected and possibly their bean stock.

Dudded out like a boss
Can't "dudded out" clones be regenerated in the sun? I got some clones this summer some off the discord and one off all star clones from strainly. Their all outdoor and the skywalker og is kicking ass, smells already. All of them in direct sun look great. But a few extras got out in a shadier spot and still look "dudded out"
Should add that all my outdoor has mad thrips so not sure I would advice this method
And I remember someone mentioning they grew Allstars skywalker before... was the high atleast any good?

So it's not just a weak plant from genetic material being destroyed over the years you're saying it's essentially sick from this virus going around?
Hops latent viroid is not curable. If the plant is infected with it, it will always be in the plant's tissue, as cannabis hasn't developed an immune response to this particular viroid, and may never. If you have access to a tissue culture facility (which practically none of us do), then you can "clone" the very tip top of the plant, as brand spanking new growth can often grow faster than the viroid can travel up the plant. But this doesn't work with regular cloning techniques. For the average growers like us, an infected plant means kill it, bleach the area and tools, test any neighboring plants once every other week for a month or two, and be done with it. There's plenty of fish in the sea man.

even if you access, do you really want to spend the 5k and wait about a year?

Is weed with this safe to smoke even ? Thanks for the info appreciate it all
Noone knows. I'd assume it's fine, as the viroid is a fraction of a micron in size if I'm not mistaken, doesn't harm humans who drink beer with it (it's hops latent viroid after all), and the combustion must destroy it instantly anyway.

I've got a few prize strains that I'd be willing to go through all of that for. In general though, no lol

So after reading more about hplvd and watching the dark heart video that tahoe og had too many symptoms, slow growth, branches growing out instead of up, and the branches broke off easily and snapped like peas. He also said in the video it can look like tmv so im just tossing both cuts i got along with the pots and trays and scissors.
I was thinking of throwing my whole house out

I might be able to help you locate a clean Tahoe bro. Shoot me a DM.

That's one option, just remember that "normal" looking clones are just as likely to have it as weird looking clones. I don't want people to start thinking that this is something you can diagnose just by looking at it, because those very obvious plants have had it for a LONG time. It spreads slowly through plant tissue, so the worst time to test a plant would be when it's a fresh clone (because cuts are taken from the "newest" plant tissue, and thus, has the least amount of possible viroid in it). I think the best practice (or at least most economical) is to isolate clones, grow them out for a month or so, then test the biggest, lowest leaf. I don't believe this disease is "latent", just slow to spread. By the way, since Jcue mentioned Cloney's Sour D, that is one cut we've tested so far that came back negative.

It's definitely not latent in cannabis. In hops it is, but when viroids cross species, the effects they have on the host are naturally very different. Some strains can carry the viroid and not display too many symptoms though, which goes to what you're saying about not self-diagnosing. Definitely the right call to get things tested regularly.
