Kashmir Crowdsource Testing

@MyrtleGrounds

FWIW- I have some seeds from the crowdsource testing done with an old member (Worcestershire_Farms). I’d be happy to send them to you. Let me know

Sorry bud you don’t want to grow those, they’re viroid infected:

@zephyr

The only time I have observed a viroid spread through seeds is @worcestershire_farms / diggy soze Kashmir seeds. The seeds carry what appears to be hemp mozaic virus, expressing as extreme variegation, other leaf mutations, and dudding at new growth and bud sites. It likely came from a contaminated stardawg cutting.

They also carry a very nasty pythiosis pathogen that was visible in @worcestershire_farms garden rotting away the stems of some of the kashmir plants.

Worcestire farms was aware of these problems in his garden, and the problems with the seed stock, but sent them out anyway and encouraged people to grow it.

Before I was aware of the problem I gave some of those seeds to a friend. I felt like a real asshole for introducing that to his garden.

@Vesti you’re right it was hemp mosaic

Sunn-hemp mosaic virus
