Do you know if there is a home test or do I have to cut part of the plant off and send it to a lab..Im not sure if I have hop latent or not.. I have 25 plants of the same strain and a few of them are very air and have no smell and no tricombs..Im just starting flush..
Hopefully @Mr. Grow It will chime in. I'm kinda thinking you would have to send plant culture to a lab. I don't know bro, that's some pretty deep stuff. Wish I could help you more.
@moserg1170 no problem man.. Chris is a busy guy these days, but once he sees the notification he'll take the helm of this conversation - best of luck dude
The first step is determining if HpLVd is present in a garden. Not all infected plants will “look” infected or show symptoms. A diagnostic screening test is the fastest way to determine the presence of the viroid. If a positive result is found, the infected plant should be removed from the facility immediately and disposed of. Any plants that it was touching should also be quarantined and tested.
If a special or a proprietary strain is fully infected (such as the entire grow or mother block), then eradication via tissue culture is the only way to clear HpLVd from that strain. The tissue culture process utilizes a proprietary treatment that eliminates the viroid and leaves you with a healthy rejuvenated strain.
Looks like you would have to send in plant culture for diag to find out if you got the funk...
Isolate the plant(s).. then I guess you have to eradicate the tissue culture ..
If this isn't a big crop, I would almost want to start over. Sorry for the bad news.
