Actually HVLD. Hop latent viroid disease. It's known to produce "duds" and is an epidemic mainly under big producers and clone vendors and it can destroy your mother garden if you're not willing to pay thousands for cleaning your genetics in a lab.Oh that's not good to hear.. I'm not good with abbreviations. HPlvd?
I do both, good genetics are everywhere. Just had to chop down some plants from seed because 1 of them hermed on me, the rest had to go to not risk the room. The way it goes, no regrets. I run whatever sounds good that I can get my hands on, seed or clone. I have bought shitty clones as well as hermed out seeds, key is you got to be willing to run everything to find what floats your boat, in my humble opinion.Just get some seeds. There are plenty of good genetics out there as good or better than these "Elite" cuts.
Man that's really shitty. Heard they were passing out infected cuts earlier this year, another vendor had purchased a bunch and they were all HpLVd positive. They put the word out, even contacted Strainly, who refused to do anything.All 3 cuts from the bank I tested were dirty, the one from tiki I sent in was clean. Will be testing everything in the stable now.
It's a shame people have to go through all this. The testing for hlvd is bad enough, but then wondering if you even got what you ordered. Good luck FTP.Got some more to report on ordered clones. Two cuts I had tested From Tikicuts came back clean, Rock n Rye Gelato, Mr Stinky and a seed plant from tiki I'm keeping also passed. Clone bank is another story Thin Mint, Sky walker, Bruce Banner #3 and Gary Payton Mac were all dirty. I did get 1 clean cut from the clone bank and that is the Purple Urkle, glad I tested the last cuts I ordered instead of just throwing them away. Now I can find out if it is legit Urkle or not lol.
