Tobacco Mosaic Virus WARNING!!

You don't really know unless you buy a $35 test kit for it.

lol your tripping as if a plant cant recover, andmost all your plants immunities arent going to be low enough to contract he virus. i laugh at these virus threads, you need to do a little reading on pathology.

bacterial infections is where the real danger is, and even harder to get than a virus.

Let me just say a couple of things.

Yes you can know if you have TMV, without a test kit.

Yes, this is very funny and I am "tripping". Keep laughing, because this is turning into a big issue. It is already hitting growers in Europe and Northern California.

And no, once you have it, the plants can't recover and it can't be cured.

The truth is that this is already a big issue for Tomato growers and they actually boil there dirt for 40 min between grows, to make sure that this doesn't get into their plants.

And obviously the clone seller thought it was a big joke, as he not only wouldn't let me in the building, but wouldn't get within 5 feet of me.

If you think that the TMV is a myth, you are talking out your ass. I just lost 3 moths work to this and am taking my entire system out, to sterilize.

The Tobacco Mosaic Virus is in Southern California, so laugh it up.

Isn't it alot of places besides tobacco? If they are boiling tomato soil, mj can carry it, etc.

Yea, it is transmitted through dead plant matter and through touching infected matter and then touching your plants.

It kicked my ass, as no one I spoke to knew what it was. Went through a second grow, with the same plants, before I finally posted a picture on this European board and they picked it out right away.

I continued to let the plants grow for another week, but all the symptoms played out. Distorted leaves, purple stems, growth without filling out. No green power.

So I dumped the whole lot yesterday. I have been running shock treatment through the system and tomorrow I will scrub it outside with more shock treatment.

Your plants can recover from TMV. Chem D has it and I have that cut. Spraying the plants with 1 tbs per gallon of Epson salt at 5.8ph. Put it in a spray bottle and foliar feed everday with the lights off. They recover if you catch it early before the yellow gets bad. For some reason they don't take in sulphur and it causes yellowing starting from the center and works its way out. I got it from some clones at a dispensary. It took me awhile but most plants recover. I'm currently working on tissue culturing to rid my keeper moms of it. Curved leaves and yellow veins are signs of it. There is no way to test for it. Those test strips will come out negative even if you do have it. There are about 5 viruses that marijuana can get. The only way to know if you have it is with an electron microscope.

If you smoke it do you die?

Not just once, but twice
