10% chance of viroid transmission through hop seeds, anecdotal evidence suggesting it might be <20% with cannabis.
Fusarium has that same trait. If someone breeds an infected plant the babies can start life already infected.

If that’s true there’s virtually no way to avoid this pathogen but breeding for resistance.
Watch were you get your beans from and clones.
Now that GMO is in the groove of fucking shit up keep your old seed stock isolated from your new beans you collect, you just never know

What does this have to do with GMOs?
It’s impossible to ID without a lab test, there’s really no way to tell whether something’s safe by eye.
Any of the new beans being released could be contaminated.
Monsanto ,Bayer and a host of others aren’t getting into the biz to leave stuff like it is.
Look at the Canadians with their crops of canola oil beans that Monsanto came in and took over.
Decades of line breeding gone down the drain.
And it’s happening as we speak with marijuana.

Sorry, I’m not big on conspiracy theories.
The ‘dud’ phenomenon has been happening since 2014-2015, around the time Gorilla Glue #4 saw wide release. Anything after that point is suspect.
Yep we’ve ran into a bunch of duds at the other site.
The dudding is from a disease and the plants can be worked out of it.
We’ve done it.
And GMOs have been around since the 50’s, not necessarily in the pot biz.
Olereynard is 100% correct about keeping what you have isolated and pure. The normal methods of big pharma and agriculture will be used just as they are on the majority of other crops. I believe they have been inserting Gene’s already but if there not they will be in the near future. Just the amount of stuff with Sam’s skunk or chem in it is insane. This is not conspiracy stuff ,this is how they do business and have for a long time. They are now involved with cannabis on a huge level and I dont expect they will change there business tactics just for us. Monsanto already owns a huge percent of the nutrient companies. large scale genetic studies are being done and over 2000 patents related to cannabis have been filed. Do you notice a trend of alot of people and breeders collecting and working with landraces all of a sudden. They will have gmo disease free super plants while they unleash the plague on us.
