Hey @BudWhisperer from the old Azad thread, the rumor was that Diggys whole room was infected. So… to be overly cautious and safe, and prevent spreading this disease around any more… maybe don’t run this :frowning:

I wonder though . …Are there any health risks with smoking hlvd weed? Or is it just a potential concern with reduced potency and vigor, etc?

I wonder if you can send in seeds to get tested for the viroid or does it have to be grown and the plant tissue tested. We as a community need to establish affective protocols and set the standards for going forward. Can you just soak the seeds outside shell in bleach to get rid of the vector. Or would you need to crack it open and then soak? Is the viroid embedded deep in the plant tissue or just on the outer seed surfaces? Could you grow the infected cut or seedling faster than the pathogen can keep up with and then clone?
Can you defeat the infection by growing healthy organic outdoor plants with strong immune systems and defenses? Given the info that up to 90 percent of commercial grows are infected and not even paying attention is terrifying to me. And the fact that dried buds are infectious to live plants is really unnerving to think about.

What I’m wondering is how many of those results are false positives? This LAMP test they’re using is an amplification test like PCR, it’s possible the researchers could “over-amplify” and get less than meaningful results. On top of that, the wikipedia article for LAMP testing cites two studies suggesting LAMP might have even more issues with false positives compared to PCR due to nonspecific amplification issues

I want to be sure my arguments are precise. You might want to try it sometime when you’re not dodging points and clutching pearls.
