someone was saying pm can get passed on. im skeptical though and just thinking out loud.
Either the person who was saying that was not properly conveying the message, or they themself didnt quite understand when it was explained to them....

Yes, PM can get passed on in the sense that you grow a mother, breed, harvest the seeds and then grow in the same environment where the mother originally was. Then yes, it is a possibility that they end up with PM if there are still spores present...

But I have never seen nor heard of a plant germinating and already having PM...

Think about all of the old elite cuts being passed around, and how much breeding is being done with them. Alot of the old cuts have a very mild amount of PM (ie look at the base of the stem of a very old mother plant, usually a trace of white is there).

Now if that was the case, then all of these Cookie, Bubba, OG, etc hybrids would be infected and breeders would be spreading PM accross the country, which obviously is not the case.

Pm is every where. Alot of people have it and dont even know it. Weather its beacause they are ignorant to the fact or the PM is just dorment and never shows. Breeders would be getting accused, slandered, whatever all over the place just as bad as they are for having hermi genetics.

Oh and I have read, on several occasions, that old timers will say about an old cut like OG to check the base for PM... If it doesnt have it, them it aint the real deal!

iv thought long n hard and def agree with you, i just figured the spores were on the outside of the seed shell, can i wash seeds before i sell em? lol

I honestly am not sure that they adhere to the waxy surface of a shell? Hmmm gonna have to read up on it. But you can see my arguement - PM would be spread rampent if that was the case... It literally would be an epidemic

That would suck to loose a cut like gg4 due to pm.
Can you take a few cuts of the plant from the l east affected area and tri to eliminate the pm as you root the baby.or would it suffer growth at the expense of fighting the pm at the same time
