So, I was using alcohol too, but I heard on a podcast that alcohol doesn't kill viroids. They recommended bleach or h202. I use Lysol spray also, but haven't heard any science on it.
here's a quote and link from Oaksterdam:
"Established sterilization practices using isopropyl alcohol do not kill the viroid. In fact, alcohol seems to amplify HLVd, making plants more susceptible to infection, Jones says. Because it lies latent, it is often spread unknowingly within and between cannabis grows.Nov 5, 2021"

@Hammerhead check this out

thanks for posting Loc Dog!

I'll continue to use an ISO bleach 50/50 mix. I have no plans on drinking it or smelling it lol. There is no off-gassing reaction it will not blow up. At 50/50 nothing happens. I did some reading it states it can make peracetic acid used to sterilize medical equipment. I'm still not paranoid enough t stop using it. The oxidate 2.0 I use is far more dangerous than a bleach/iso mix. Plenty of stuff we use in our gardens that are dangerous.

i was using iso too as a super spreader in my rooms...
if iso don't prevent from spreading the thing, why would you continue to use it?
that doesn't make sense to me

I've been using ISO for 50 years. I've never had a dudd/ virus in my garden. None of my cuts have ever tested positive for any virus. Maybe I'm just lucky lol. If you have infected plants in your garden nothing will prevent it from spreading. Using ISO is the least to worry about. The GG#4 I grew was direct from JW. Mine is 100%. An example of a perfectly grown GG#4. This plant took 1st place at 2014 HT cup in LA .

Probably my favorite plant ever… To me it’s like Easy Diesel. Great to grow. Great to smoke. Imagine all the gas we’d have if everyone pollen chucked glue the way we have cookies.

-DD
Absolutely. I see a monster mono crop of glue coming this fall. I’ve been wanting to grow this one since I first smoked it around 2017. It checks every single box and checks boxes you didn’t know you had lol. Seriously grateful to have this one.

Check her out @flower~power !

I thought it was interesting how she faded to bright reds under the LED but under the CMH she faded yellow.
