Whats with all you inexperienced fly by nighters showing up and telling the long seasoned people like you know anything? You dont need a lab test plants simply have varietion. If you expected them to all look the same, huff more funes see where it gets you. Anyway this thread is like another thread ive posted at recently where another one of you obvious first time (or even zero experience) internet winners tells the rest of us how wrong we have been based on your one assumprion. Maybe you opperate both accounts the posting style is the same...

ya,you know it all!lmfao....

I have no idea if Sam the skunkman is testing suspect plants before culling them, but I think we can all agree he's one of the most experienced breeders out there. Here's a quote from him:
I see both Mosaic Viruses and one we call Wrinkle Leaf which comes in mild to severe versions if they are even the same virus. I see them every year and I kill any plants that express symptoms. I use mostly seed, grow out huge numbers and use a lot of imported seeds. I find problem plants I kill them, end of story. But even if you get virus free seed or clones you need to keep them that way, and insects are vectors, as well as nematodes in soil, and pots, tables, tools all need to be kept clean, and new clones are just as likely to have a virus as a pest like mites. Until the industry offers certified virus free clones like the wine industry does with viticulture clones, the problem will continue to spread.
Testing for virus could help in the short term.
