BilgePump Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 @Goohfy like big agro has done with tmv? (They totally haven't) Unfortunately I think that's a pipe dream and we all need to be vigilant. 4 Link to comment

Oh what a fantastic world that would be. I reckon the hops industry would have been on that and they failed to find anything. The beer making world has had to learn to live with it and grow resistant strains iirc. Vigilance is the only way currently. Can you even make a vaccine for a viroid rather than a virus? I dunno. Perhaps they will make a vaccine. The hops industry isn't worth as much as canna(650m) Edited December 15, 2021 by blackpoolbouncer 4 Link to comment

I contains a form of h-peroxide so it should act as a biocide as H-perox is used as a biocide. You may need a full strength H-perox though for taking out bacteria, viri, fungals though. I have never personally used an Oxy (percarbonate) as a biocide. How successful it will be is anyones guess though bud. As far as I know H-perox knocks out some viruses and others it does not damage enough to take them out. With this being a viroid it's all guess work for now.

Goohfy Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Hopefully just two weeks to get on top of it then they will get a vaccine sorted.I don’t actually know if a vax would work on the problem but hopefully everything turns back to normal.peace goohfy. Link to comment

It's been in the UK hop population since the late 80's I think and the Agro industry still does not have an easily applied treatment for the disease caused by this viroid. I would not hold your breath for a quick solution. Edited December 15, 2021 by acidshiva Link to comment
Guest Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 A well-known cutting cartel have just posted on insta that they have HLVD in the roost. They've stopped production. If you've gotten anything from them recently I highly suggest you bin it, or at least bleach snips between plants. Link to comment

Got a bit close to home yesterday with friends having to bin all mums after being infected by clones that eventually could have made thier way into my room. Not everyone I know has been as lucky as me or shut up shop as early. This shits only just starting to get going mark my words. Watch it spread now Lock up your daughters, wives and most importantly.......your mums. Edited February 12, 2022 by blackpoolbouncer 9 Link to comment

America must be riddled with it. 4 Link to comment

My cali cuts had it as soon as they landed ages ago. I have no doubt the Americans knew that their stock was infected but still sent and decided to cash in anyway. 4 Link to comment
CHAN Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 I had a few cali cuts. All were infected. Had a sour power og, drago and a zpomoni cut. Everyone of them was a hard strain to root, could take up to a month to come through. The sour power og had the side branching, the brittle stems and really sluggish growth. The end product had no sticky Ness to it and was absolutely bland shite. The drago again had the brittle stems but was abit better. But then it used to get 3 quarters done then hermi and die off. Only good thing is that I've been growing with hplv clones for that long now I believe I know what to look out for now. Haha I was blaming my self last year and blaming it in a hot summer. Only cali cut that I think I've done which isn't infected is the runts but she's gone in the bin anyway just because it's all came through the same joker in the US. 7 Link to comment
ukbudz Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Seen this yesterday, at least he had the decency to put it out there. A lot of them got rid of stock and said fuck all. I'd advise everyone to go from seed now and don't take in cuts. And as has been said, the yanks must of knew that they were infected as it's far to obvious when even the mom has it. 6 Link to comment
FarmerPalmersNT Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 I am fairly certain that the Durban had it in my last grow which was from the aforementioned clone seller and a secondary root infection which then spread to my SSH. I've binned all off and am keeping an eye on any suspect mums just in case there's been any transmission. But yeah, a notill soil mix in which I've been growing for 7years or so. Never had a single problem. This last grow 2 nose dived fast after strarting off last looking otherwise belting. The seller has done the right thing in shutting up shop as soon as they knew. But I'll be doing the same for a while. The idea of that getting to my keeper collection gives me the absolute fear. 6 Link to comment

MindSoup Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 This thread is doing wanders for my clone/mother envy All jokes aside though I hope its not too late to nip this in the bud, at least this side of the pond. Must be absolutely heart breaking to put all that time into breeding and developing a strain/nursery just to have it all destroyed. 4 Link to comment
