Who is we?

Has no body checked the thread?

[StevieG]

If I send someone seeds I produced they send it out is that not we? Is that not contribution?

[Northern_Loki]

@StevieG

Has no body checked the thread?

Nope, don’t have time for more BS. Who is we?

[StevieG]

So let’s turn a new leaf I said I’ll leave it alone already

@StevieG

And again @zephyr was also on the list, and the same thing happened 0 photos as well. Ur the co op team. I know your going to take it disrespectfully it’s not intended it’s to make u see my side real quick.

if you want to drag someone’s name, at least do your research. It’s in this thread, you couldn’t even do a search?

thanks again diggy. These went to a local gardener in need of heady medicine. I will get you some photo updates at each stage of growth. and thanks for the dvd, this is the only time I’ve ever seen a movie endorsement blurb by larry king where did you find these hahaha. ‘in the CIA nothing is as it seems! this modern suspense thriller was as taught as my suspenders!’

My friend started 6 seeds and got 2 females. He sexed and then reveged them for his outdoor grow. He said they were slow under t5 lights, but once he planted them outdoors they became the most vigorous plants in the garden.

The kashmir testers in my friend’s grow are showing the same variegation as gman’s plants. It’s pretty much all over the plants now that it has new growth all over from being sexed indoor and reverted under outdoor sunlight. The variegation showed up in full when the new veg growth started. Otherwise, they are still growing vigorously. I will get you some photos at some point.

my friend says the kashmir is doing well. after the variegated leaves showed up all over, he eventually aggressively defoliated all the variegated leaves. it was displaying as split color leaf blades, half green and half pale divided by the spine of the leaf. after growing back from just the new growth tips, the variegation has diminished. only about 10 leaves are showing it now, but it always comes back a little bit after he prunes the affected leaves. he says it is very branchy. ill try to …

Lol. Birds of a feather. If you follow Adam Savage on youtube, there’s an episode where he’s upgrading some sort of shelving, I think for rolls of sandpaper, or maybe duct tape. He mentions something along the lines of “In a workshop, any and every flat surface will be quickly covered with things,” and that has brought me immeasurable relief.

current update- my friend’s 2 kashmir plants are very bushy, and needing constant pruning for air flow in this climate. They are putting out a lot of leaves. After consistently removing the affected leaves, there is no variegation visible at this point. They look very stressed during mid day heat but keep growing.

High soil temps, maybe? Without knowing your friends’ circumstances, I would guess adding a lil hardwood mulch might help.

my friend’s outdoor kashmir flowering and looking good. very little variegation present at this stage. [1] looks like it will be a good producer, and flowering quicker than just about anything else in the garden.

I gave these to a friend to grow out before I knew about the virus. Sure enough the plants displayed major viroid variegation.

Fortunately the plants were in plastic pots with no drainage, so they were easy to isolate.

We were able to avoid contamination of his garden, but the risk is unacceptable.

sending more of these seeds out into the world would be a deliberate disservice to this entire community.

@stevieg even though the plants had a virus, we grew them out and provided documentation, including photo documentation.

Simply because I had made an agreement by taking the seeds in the first place, and my word is good.

I also wanted to document the viroid symptoms so the community would be aware of the risks of taking these seeds into their gardens.

@StevieG

but u gotta understand ur the seed distributor. And u never ran the tester pack and I’m supposed to send you seeds.

Number one I was not the seed distributor. Number two you nor Diggy had the respect to ask me privately. Had he cared to I would have told HIM what problems I had with them.

@StevieG

And again @zephyr was also on the list, and the same thing happened 0 photos as well.

And again you are wrong! He did and he presented them to Diggy/Mods!

[G-paS]

I agree it should be closed and go silent @Northern_Loki ?

[zephyr]

it’s not just my opinion stevie. just ask worcestire:

Disclaimer; If you’ll all humor me for a moment while I expound on a bit of a conspiracy theory. I don’t have the evidence necessary to claim anything with surety. Plus poor wording, hyperbole, and general ignorance on the matter may make parts of this thesis easy to refute. With that said. I believe almost all cases of variegation in cannabis is the result of a virus, that can stowaway inside of seeds produced while the mother is infected. I think the variegation we’ve been seeing here is, to…

I did speak to worcestire about this in another thread about viroids and pythioisis rot. I did not publicly raise the issue because I was trying to be polite. I also thought that readers would be able to see the problems and interpret it for themselves.

But you are right, I should have warned everybody at the outset.

almost all the plants in this thread showed variegation. barefrog, bodhi, and generic seeds kashmir is clean. this virus came from worcestires garden and he spread it far and wide. completely irresponsible.

[StevieG]

I get what ur saying, here’s a constructive question tho.
If i had clones of the same plant and I never a virus problem how does that work? U know?
Cheers

[zephyr]

I think this thread should probably be closed, but remain publicly visible. There are a lot of these seeds out there in people’s refrigerators already.

Everyone should have access to this documentation so they know what risk they are taking.

[DougDawson]

I will have to stick with the action group on this @StevieG , under the circumstances I won’t be able to help with the distribution of these in Canada.

[Kabuddha]

I think it is unfortunate that the single best strain that has ever been released on overgrow would be filled with such drama…maybe it’s no coincidence…these beans are literally worth THOUSANDS; of all strains released in the 20 and 21st centuries these are hands down the ones to get…

Diggy is doing a huge service releasing these…these could make him a billionaire and he is giving them away…I know what kinda Thanksgiving I’m having next year…

Please you all…a little courtesy…if you haven’t grown these and have some you are truly missing out…

[Northern_Loki]

Yes, I’ll close this shortly.

@StevieG

I’ll check with the mods via pm over the next few days to get it started.

A couple of last words, WF was banned for persistent deceitful activity and taking liberties he did not have. I’d recommend not tying your hitch to what is now considered in the past.

There is little interest here. You can certainly personally give them away on your dime but this site will have nothing further to do with promoting any WF related efforts.

[StevieG]

@Northern_Loki understandable
(plus 20 characters)
Cheers

[Northern_Loki]

Thanks for the understanding.

[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.

Kashmir Crowdsource Testing

Putting this in the Trading Post because the seeds are available to everyone. If you want to grow them the only conditions are that you (1) germinate within 100 days of receipt, and (2) post an update to this thread, or your own journal, twice a month. The Genetics; Short-flowering, purebred sativa. Location: Kashmir Latitude: 34N Elevation: 5,000 ft / 1600 meters, Flowering: 9-11 weeks indoors. Late September / Early October outdoors Aromas: Funky Engine Exhausts and Burnt Sugar in freshl…

[MyrtleGrounds]

I was unable to get them to thrive. At the time, I thought it was my inexperience and never tried to regrow them. Then I moved on to other seeds and strains… and so the story goes. I wasn’t aware of an issue with the seeds until you mentioned it here. What’s the deal with them? Are they fine to grow for bud, but not good for genetics? Inquiring mind(s) want to know.

[Growgrassblowglass]

Reading the end of that thread it seems those seeds have a viroid of some sort and growing them is risking some unknown possible contam…?

[MyrtleGrounds]

Interesting info. I’ll toss the seeds, without hesitation.
