Mosaic testing

KakalakaKidstarted grow question 2 months ago

Ok I have a knowledge deficit, I have a beast of a girl, strong, sturdy, tasty take over the whole room kind of girl. I think she has mosaic virus, it hasn't effected her at all but I don't want the other kids to get it if she dose. Where can I get her tested on the quick.

It's rare to have it. and if she does have it their is no cure. You would have to get it tested at a lab with a tissue culture im guessing. If weed is illegal where you are it might be risky sending it to some lab. I would likely try and resolve it on your own and troubleshoot your reasoning on why you think it has this virus. Maybe upload pics and your theory to allow input from the community. If it does have it, what are you willing or prepared to do. The only option is killing it from my understanding or it will just always have it and be potently contagious. Maybe new clones off parts of the plant not affected yet are ok? Don't fully know, never dealt with it. Will need to look it up. One place I found online selling tests has a cost of 1,200 and need to be kept at -20c So its no cheep, and no idea if it was home user friendly or it was for other labs to order supplies from.

Unless you have brought in infected soil from an external source, it is almost impossible to get TMV. If it has TMV, it will die, there is no cure and there is nothing you can do to rescue it. Like m0use said, a picture or three would have been useful.
