This is relevant (I wish not)? The stems feel very rigid/woody relative to adjacent development... Also reproductive development very slow - plant @ day 35 and minimal frost and aroma... have wondered if it was due to stress. There is no hiding something is very wrong here... I have recognized some white spots on certain fan leaves but even under a scope I have not identified mites....yet? Should I begin crying?

Appears this will be more appropriate in the Broad Mite thread...
XSam, with all due respect.. Viruses are very rare. Broad Mites are not. Especially with the proliferation of clones across this country, and thus all countries that desire cuttings from the USA.
How can you say viruses are rare unless you have found some and can say what they are and what the incidence rate is/was? All the viruses I listed have been found in Cannabis, I can not say how bad the problem is but viruses can be spread by insects, pollen, seeds, even bees, nematodes, tools, people. As well as sharing clones.
Remember many viruses that infect Cannabis have few symtoms other then loss of vigor or poor health.
I work in a Grow Shop, and the Denial is almost pathological.. One of our more obtuse Clients, claims that a bottle of GRAVITY killed his whole crop. A Bloom booster. That was His theory. I saw his pics, it was BM;s. Just an illustration of unproductive, prideful behavior getting in the way of success. His cuts were shipped from CA, originally bought from Harborside.. Umm, Duh.....
We all need to get to know these pests intimately, or else find a new pursuit.
I know BM intimately, I have worked with Cannabis pests and diseases for decades, that said, for you to say viruses are rare is as untrue as people in denial about BM when they have it.

I hoist a very rare shot of Jager to all of You and against this scourge. Worst ever. I had never been thwarted so.
As George W. Bush so eloquently said, "Fool Me Once, shame on You, fool me twice, not gonna happen again."
...I treated these plants and gave them a heat treatment, after the heat treatment is when the "dudding" appeared. ....
I cant see your pics?
