stoner memory dude
i'm lucky if i remember what i made for dinner last night lol
I'm still very unconvinced that 'duds' are anything more than a nutrient deficiency that GG#4 is prone to. As far as I know nobody has been able to produce lab results that confirm nematodes, despite repeated submissions.
To many good growers to chalk it up to grower error. These guys know the difference between a plant that's deficient and a plant that looks like hay.. I believe it some sort of genetic trait that get triggered in some gardens.. We don't know what that trigger is.. Fixing a deficient plant is not a big deal it would never require a seasoned grower to cull to the garbage...[/QUOTE
the only reason i still have it is because im not a rookie but i just thought i didnt understand the strain as to never having any exp with it before. i was wit out internet where i was dor the past year and just Got tapped back into the matrix and see all of this going on with other growers who grow real deal fire! i wanted to talk with some of you guys out there before i totally discard and CULL my glue plants i really hate that word CULL
there is enough trees for everyone BLESS!

you may be right on the first statement. who knows?
but as far as repeated submissions?
i dont know of anyone whos said they sent in a sample that would likely show it at a lab that specializes in finding them.
i sent in a few before i heard that wt215 had made a video of them inside his plants stem.
i didnt know about nematodes and i didnt send in the bottom 2 inches of stalk with the root crown.
that would be what would stand the highest chance of containing them for diagnosis.
i am sure somebody has done it but i havent seen it posted about on here. if you know of someone or multiple folks repeatedly sending in adequate samples id love to here about it. got links to the posts? i thought we were still waiting on a root crown and lower stem to be sent to a nematologist.
why do you think that you have a problem mom?
I have to agree with you except the alfalfa deal, never used it . I do believe the over watering has a big plus to bring out the duds, back a few years ago when I was growing the sour dub I had a mom sitting in a bath tub, the drain got plugged up and she sat in water for a day, that's when I started getting duds, every cut I took from that plant duded.I guarantee the nematode thing is real as I have first hand experience over the last few years with dudds. Not going to go into it here but I can assure you its real. The nematodes can only dud out plants that are weak in one way or another. Og's dud most frequently because they are the most finicky, can't drink as much water as others ( often overwatered etc etc). Glue duds often since it has the tendency to lock out as a young plant ( purple stems). But once the glue gets going good as a young plant it is strong and won't dud from there on out. The reason Dudding has happened much more as of lately is because the last few years people have been adding alfalfa meal to their teas. Stem nematodes ( alfalfa nematodes) can hibernate for like a 100 years or some shit. Adding alfalfa meal brings them Back to life and right into the plants.
I trimmed yesterday,, 10oz. Outta a five gal. Smartie..
I was thinking it smelled like mocha/sweet vomit in a good way..
But that would b similar to caramelized onions
