He wasn't testing a year ago, so very possible. It's not like it's hard to get those cuts.

I try to see it both ways, because a lot has changed in a year. May or may not but that's why people try and find out.
Nothing's changed.. He fucked over me and plenty others with his infected gear. And strainly did nothing to fix it. Nothing. So just assume he's dirty.

Does anybody knows if getseedsrighthere is legit?
Good question. I'm still pondering this question.
9 months ago picked up Gary Payton from them. A month later I was skeptical it was really Gary.
I took pics showed then the variegated leafs.. Told me I need more calmag. 1 months into flower I showed then more pics. Then they sent me a pic with the same strain grown by 50 different people to show variation between growers.. I passed the cut to 4 different people and all says wasnt Gary. So go back to about 2 weeks ago they finally say they are sorry for the mix up. Turns out they sent me stardawg Corey cut. I mean the guy in the emails was super unhelpful.. Saying was impossible to send me wrong cut. But here we are lol. And I got a gelato 45 to replace the Gary.. Maybe lol.

This is Gelato 45. It stays a nice dark green.

I've chatted with F_Dupp several times, he without a doubt brought something into his garden from the person/vendor he mentioned that is on strainly. F_Dupp runs a clean dialed in to the max grow, has been growing for many, many years. He trusted the wrong person with cuts. His yields went down dramatically from what they were a couple months before bringing the cuts in to his garden..the change in his yields after introducing the cuts is staggering. I'm talking about yields getting cut in half in a flash, some even more than half. Whats weird about his case is the trichome production was almost the same, almost looked pretty frosty but the buds basically stopped swelling and had absolutely no density, the looked brittle and looked like buds that would turn too dust simply breaking them up in your hands, most peaked and stopped flowering maturity by 6 weeks.

I saw a few members basically telling F_Dupp to take it somewhere else or stop posting about this, dude was just trying to give us fellow growers a heads up and most should heed the warning, if what happened to him happened to us it could have devastating effects on your grow room.

I don't think the issues popping up nowadays are some growers panic and people over exaggerating, I've seen really good and solid growers having issues with yields and vigor getting decimated within a few months when before their grow rooms where producing and chugging along fine. There's clearly HpLVD going around in cuts that are getting passed around and sold. When you think about it, never before has there been so many cuts being sold in traded in the states, its like a whole new little industry. With that said I think there others plant viroids popping up in cannabis that probably haven't really discussed much, there's another viroid that affects tobacco plants for example- TMV(tobacco mosaic virus). I think dark heart nursery figured out that the hop latent viroid was popping up more frequently in cannabis and people kind of just assumed it was a one size fits all for their problems when in fact its probably much more complex than that.
That Part....:clap::hump:But now that we have made that point clear what can we do about it...stop.:sleep: because at this point abstinence from buying cuts and grow from seed is that much more important then ever if we wanna get a grip on this ninja. We'll always have that issue of trading those super heady elite cuts we find really can be enticing but not really worth it in the end if a Covid epidemic for plants cant be vaxinated to death.Hard to pass up those epic snags but I will say first hand growing from seed is so much more worth it if its an elite breeder. No BS breeding and pay close attention and ask your breeder questions about the sources of their cuts lol or your just really diving off a cliff with that good time. Divided Sky Ive followed you a minute now so I know your a real grower whos cared enough to speak from the heart & been through the struggles for a while not just a year or 2 lol.
But produce from overseas and local can have disease & a plethora of not good we dont think about. We dont even have to buy those items either yet it got on your skin or clothes or is on the other item you purchased and you go brushing up or even walk around the grow area and now you have new pathogens or pests to battle and you think its from the clones you traded or scored lol , which very well could still be but you see where the sources could potentially be very broad. So the possibilities are even deeper then we might be giving credit too is all Im saying and to be more mindfull of our world today. We get produce so fast from around the world these days by global trading speeds have doubled so we get those pathogens and diseases on the fly straight to your doorstep.:cuss:

A friend of mine just tested the 4 cuts he keeps, 2 of which are quite old and he's had them for years, and 2 are Strainly purchases from this year. He had all 4 tested for HpLVd and one of the new cuts he got came back infected-Cereal Milk. I thought, yep, with the volume that Cookies does, I bet they've spread this around quite a bit. I'd love to see more companies/breeders do like Dark Heart did and be open about everything, admit wrong, and start testing everything and polish up their hygiene procedures-this should be an industry standard at this point.

Do you know who the infected cereal milk came from?

No, I wish I did, but that's the 2nd Cereal Milk that I know of that has tested positive for it, and the second one came from a dispensary in Southern CA. I can try to find out where the other one came from, my buddy got it in WA state-he travels a lot for work up and down WA and OR and stops at dispos everywhere he goes. BTW, I saw that plant and it looked 100% normal, it's the last plant of his I would have guess was positive. I'm done with strainly for now, this viroid has be too freaked out to be trusting random people's "word" that they are testing. Be careful out there folks, test your mommies, use different labeled pruning shears for each one, and a fresh razor for each plant when taking cuttings. The ONLY reliable way to kill HpLVd is 10% bleach, so it's way easier to use individual tools than mix up bleach constantly. I just wish my favorite breeders would announce they are testing their breeding stock too, I highly doubt many (any?) of them are doing so.

The sad part is those bigger breeders are spreading it through seeds too. Makes me wish I bought more seeds 4 or 5 years ago. Now its hard to know whats safe since all the big breeders just recirculate the same damn cuts.

I was thinking this exact same thing the other day. It sucks to not be able to trust your seeds to produce clean plants, even if the infection rate is just 5%, that's a landmine that could go off at any time and ruin a collection unless serious precautions are taken.

Honestly it would probably be best to stay away from any of the cereal milk on strainly after what Rumuro said. Unless they are showing rencent results showing cuts are hop latent free I wouldn't risk acquiring certain cuts. I feel on strainly everyone is just saying they test their cuts for HpLVD and are HpLVD free. Some definitely do but I'd say most on strainly don't test and are just bullshitting about testing , its like one day everyone just started throwing HpLVD free clones in their title...plus you'll notice a lot of the people selling the same cuts on strainly for cheaper than most are just reselling cuts they themselves bought on strainly`. Thats site is a huge gamble unless you you are using the well respected and reviewed vendors which seem to few and far between these days.
