Any HLVD experts in here?

As I have said, the only way to be positive is testing. When hlvd pops and its no longer latent your plants are smoked its over. it’s not worth it if you have doubts.

HLVD was brought into a facility I worked at and these symptoms are the reason we tested for it, i’m the reason we were able to isolate and remove it from the facility.

Do I know what he does to his plants no, Do I know the symptoms of HLVD yes I do. If you have ever flowered out a plant with hlvd you would advise to toss it rather than spend 250-400 to get it tested.

If infected that joint usually pops right off.

The problem with hlvd is you can grow 100’s or 1000’s of clones of an infected mother plant and not see it. Once the viroid is no longer latent it starts showing up as deficiencies then changes growth patterns. It would be really cool if testing was $25 a plant but you don’t have to do 10 tests.

Definitely want to test, looks fairly suspicious

Like i was saying, 100% these soil plants are feed with hydroponics nutrients, so definitely not right nutrients, im aware of that, that plant is literally grown for the purpose of ripping branches off of it though, it will either never see flowering or ill let a buddy flower it when im done hacking at it. They are 4’ tall mothers at this point. To tall to flower indoors at my place.
