Does this look like hop latent Viroid? I had 1/3 plants ā€œdudā€ last run. Now my whole collection of clones is a dud. Cipher genetics blueberry lobster seeds. 2/3 didn’t germinate and the 3rd I recently culled because of its stunted growth.

Hello mate, you seem a bit exagereted to me. You should have one of your plant infected so you could transmit to other plants with gloves or scissors otherwise the viroide must be inside the seed and you have 8% of possibility if parents was infected. Good luck and happy journey!

This is like looking at a prom picture of someone and asking if they have HIV. Testing can confirm this, eyes cannot. I don't care about the anecdotes coming in. For how many thousands of commercial plants have this, and for how widespread into the genepool it is, we would have clear visual indicators by now if they existed IMO. I mean it is endemic already in cannabis...as in past pandemic level. Fortunately we might have a holeshot with modern techniques, but discernment and corroboration of the viroid is not a human eyeball job.

Unless you live next to a tobacco farm or have imported soil from a tobacco farm into your grow space, it is almost impossible to get HLV. Try getting your genetics elsewhere next run.
