STRAINLY

Half of that site markets the same way though.

Green Acres puts it in their title for example. "cheapest on strainly!" and they have had 3 confirmed hlvd tests.

AJN has the most negative tests in this thread so far afaik-I've tested two of their strains myself. Please don't post your assumptions here as though they are fact. Green Acres is a reseller who buys his stuff at big clone sale events and direct from breeders. If you have a positive from a reseller, look to the origin of that clone for the culprit. I'd expect a lot of mites and PM from a reseller's clones, but HpLVd is unlikely to be transmitted by the reseller because they rarely have the clones long enough to use tools on them. The highest levels of infection will come from the sellers who maintain a large stable of mothers and take their own cuts-I'm not going to name names, but you know who they are.

So far I've only tested Pink Box (1/2 positive), Savage (2/2 positive) and threw out both Lab Hollow from obvious dudding.

AJN has several bad reviews on reddit for dudding and likely hlvd. Like I said, if it's $40 off strainly err on the side of caution.

Oh and the one Pigtail was clean but she also gets from local events/drops.

I have nothing but good experience so far with Auntie Jane. I am just starting to flower out now. Can you post a link to the reddit reviews??
 
Of course the price of the Glitter Bomb is gonna be more than $100, we should all know how this works by now. A hype strain thats not accessible to most growers is gonna be not cheap. And $100 is more than what A&B was when it was first dropped in the Cali market. Plus factor in gas/time going to event or dispo etc etc.

BESIDES THAT, where are the positive tests from Savage and Green Acres, ugh. I do know GSHRN has had some positive tests out there but it was last year so who knows. You can test for 4 months, use 2 different labs and find it later, happened with some Gary Satan from TIKI. shit is scary.b

Green Acres just undercuts the market, its kindof gross. but its their business model so good for them i suppose.

I had read somewhere that in order to fully clean you need to meristem it. Not sure how true that is but on side note I have seen plants come straight from State Genetics and have been infected. They supposedly do tissue culture.

Tissue culture can eradicate HLV, but it's not guaranteed. Initiation material needs to test below a certain titer level otherwise the time and cost to eradicate is very burdensome. But yes, meristemetic initiation is how you would start this process.

HpLVd has a 8% - 10% transmission rate through seed if there are infected parents.

Just curious if you have personal experience testing with this? Has anyone knowingly done a project with infected stock to see what the rate is? I wonder if the rate is different whether it's the the M, F or both that is infected? I've seen the 8-10% figure before but is that still from DH hypothesis/estimate?

Yes. Not via DH, this was an internal trial from another biotech company doing hop latent viroid research. Since then others doing biotech research have confirmed similar transmission rates. Can't speak to the controls regarding which parent was infected, but I can probably find out if I dig hard enough.

If it's not too difficult I would appreciate it wink. I've looked around myself but haven't found any numbers. Thank you
