I got bunches of his gear all the time, I see no strange leaf patterns or disease, ever. I do see some of the very best genetics I've ever had the pleasure of using or growing. non stop goodness, every fuckin strain is fire, every pheno/geno is too. It sucks deciding what to keep. I honestly wouldnt need any other strains in my life, HA! My Holy Grails

My Chem D would get this look, half yellow half green, leaf tips turning 90 sometimes greater angles, mosaic patterns of color/splotching, there was much discussion about TMV and from what I can tell it is possibly a trait of the genetics that expresses itself when stressed. I'd try to ride it out.

I outcrossed Chem D to c99, and those babies sometimes will exhibit this. Recently I shared a photo in the solo cup thread of one of the D99 babies near the end of flower with some of the leaf twist mosaic patterning and she still grew fine outside of the anomaly.

To me, it shows there's deep chem genes in those seeds is all Odin, but will keep an open mind ya never know I guess.

Hmm, I haven't ever had a strain that had the yellow and green "splotches", mosaic patterns, and curling. Definitely not stressed, conditions are optimal.

I already have a TSD 2.0 that I really like, so I'm not too worried about these other two phenos. Although, I would have liked to see what they have to offer. Can't keep them though, too much to lose on a gamble.

Chem D I had would sometimes get that way, not sure why. Search for Chem D TMV and look for threads from like 2008ish, it was a big deal around then when everyone wanted the D (hehe) and then everyone started freaking out over "TMV," including myself.

Samples are ground in a special bag that allows for easy extraction. The comb of four test strips is then easily placed into the sample. The test takes just minutes to form clear yes or no results.

its not tmv though....otherwise your other ones would be hit, and what about the whole seedstock? I see these symptoms online on every strain. I can cause them here too. PH fluctuations, feeding changes, generally an unhealthy expression. I've never seen this supposed trait as its sometimes called, be passed on to its offspring either. I think the test is round 30 bucks, I sure would appreciate a whole new thread, TMV Testing, with your step by step trek? please??

2 of mine (offspring) express this even when happy, but only very mildly, it's like a slight variegation of crinkle/yellow splotch, usually on the edge fingers of flag/fans, but sometimes it comes out on any or all of the fingers. Sometimes the center finger will do a crooked penis U-turn, like half of the leave wants to grow normal and the other is stunted, so it can kind of curl as it grows, not under or claw, but horizontally turn.

What I read regarding "seed-borne" is that it can be passed to the offspring, but isn't always. No PH fluctuations, no feeding changes, no stress. There are over 200 "teens" in that veg room, ~30 strains. None, other than the two TSD's, have any issues/discoloration. I have grown innumerable plants, have never seen this before, not ever, in 20 years of "strain hunting", and receiving nothing but poorly treated clones/plants. My garden doesn't "survive", it thrives. :bigjoint:

Seriously though, the "slow to grow" and low yielding GSC has, in my hands, become a vigorous, heavy yielder (over the course of a year).

Also, I will document the testing process and take pics that I will post when able.

Most chem strains do better with less nitrogen.
Your mix or fert might be too hot.
Same happens with ONYCD.
But because I didn't have time to cook my mix.
But it doesn't cause any health problems, as they are growing at a very fast rate.

I'm getting lucky with all of them, they get the same love as everyone else in the room, no more no less, and they are winning time after time.

Have any of you guys grown out the skunk A5?

I'm kicking around the idea of grabbing a pack and had a couple questions, is the superskunk he used for this one Mass superskunk? Is the A5 long flowering (10+ weeks)?

I'm really interested in this strain, just wondering if it will take a long time to finish out.

No "mass super skunk" would not be hidden in name as a hall of fame strain and he has it but not in this and mss be proudly displayed Hand full have real

Right on, thanks for the knowledge. Do any of the Topdawg strains have MSS? That's what I'm really looking for.

TV? You're going to have to expand on that some, we thought it was TMV like 10 years ago, but it's since been ruled out as far as I'm concerned. Not sure of a label to put on it but just a trait that shows here and there.

I have progeny from the same Chem D that exhibits the same splotching, kind of like the variegation found in some Dj gear.
