3 rivers biotech offers an HLVD test for $15. I grow from seed, so no real need to use them.

How accurate is the testing? I know many use tumi. Seeds can still transmit hlvd if I am not mistaken, small % but still a slight chance of transmitting.

I’ve never known anyone who had an issue with HLVd, it’s mostly an issue in commercial grows with clones. Not worth the money to me to test for it, same with tmv. The lab uses rna/pct testing, that should be very accurate.

duds are easy to spot by eye during veg
lateral branching, witch broom, ugly pattern

after reception keep them isolated from other plants and you will know

Doesn't always happen, some genetics handle the virus better than others.

Agreed. These are not my plants..

Same strain, obvious difference. Have seen HpLVd, among other diseases, show up in unhealthy, pest ridden plants/clones.



Some facilities just don't care and want weight, so wouldn't replace the plant.. one of the reasons (most) dispensary weed tastes like crap; no care/love for the plant.. of course there's also herbs/flowers grown by caring farmers that are reaching the public, but few a far between imo.

One group I've been watching is NoTill Kings on Instagram. Pretty unique to see living soil beds grown in a facility.

Hope this helps!

these farmers still have progress to make on climate management and nutrition

man look at these leaves .. these red stalks

is that algae and white mold on top of the cube in the background ?

No real evidence of "hplvd" here in my humble opinion

Ya looks like a overfed locked upmess to me.

Check the light green plant with minimal resin and small growth compared to the dark green, fatter buds with more resin.. All terrible quality; back to the point about (some*) commercial facilities having no care/love for the plant.

Anyone peep the NoTill Kings link? This other facility is growing some dank!

terrible growers
