All bulk seeds were infected.
Oh btw you guys know the transmission rate when a parent is infected? 58 % - 75 %, Yikes.
Enough Off Topic from me.
Much higher than I have heard. Can you link to the info?

âHLVd was also highly transmissible through hemp seeds at rates of 58 to 80%.â
They published the study regarding seed infection and then pulled it, at least that was what I was told by the Lab guy, he also said it was a really solid study.
There also is a difference between male and female regarding percentages.

I could go on and tell you why the 8% they found in the hop study are bonkers and totally and utterly wrong.
But itâs enough off topic, hit me up via dm if you wanna know more 
Dense reading so far

Some lines are easier to tell than others 
That sure looks familiar tho

Agree.
I always start my selection and culling at this age. Often I have either done heavy research of the line or have grown them, or their parents before.
Some might call me a fool, that I might throw away a keeper. But I sow plants with a set goal and if I donât find anything that furfil that goal, they are out⊠Iâm not interested in random pheno hunting, Iâm interested to materialise my idea or smoke something that fulfil the idea of what I want to have.

Neat point of view @LonelyOC. That makes sense especially if you have prior knowledge of the family tree. Any tips for going into something new you havenât seen up close or in pictures?

In that case I have to grow them and smoke them. Usually, if itâs not in my taste. I give the buds to a friend.
So, letâs say Iâm looking for a kick ass blueberry that is leaning towards sativa. First off, why bother with the obvious BLD, they are culled first and through the plants life I cull for what Iâm not looking for, no matter the stage. Not having a distinct blueberry terp, weak roots or less vigorous individuals.
My main thing I cull for is root growth the week before I switch to flower. Killing everything that have been falling behind the average. I learned this from an old school botany teacher that had many years of experience with breeding plants before DNA tech. He preached âStarka rötter ger starka grödor, starka grödor har starka rötter.â, translated to English, âStrong roots give strong plant, strong plants have strong roots.â Every single time we would show him specimens that we liked, his first question where always âHowâs the roots?â. If you havenât checked the roots and compared it to the archives of being exceptional and of the correct root phenotype, he wouldnât give you more time to discuss with him. I can tell you, pretty much all the students hated him, but I loved to learn from him. His approach to biology was fascinating and I couldnât let the opportunity slide because he was a bit abrasive to some.
Only exception I can think of is my cross Erdawg(Erdpurt x C4DDD), that produced so pinesole terpy buds dried that I felt physically nauseous from the stench. Couldnât even have them sit in a masor jar in the same room as me because I started to smell it. Did a test and later a smoke report, the rest I gave away. I did continue to use this plant in breeding, mainly because I made the cross myself and I never had such pinesole terps before.
