to everyone else I just sent away eight samples. three infected samples, three healthy samples from the same batch, a control sample, and an infected sample from the crown of the root. the strains being tested are both strains I or a friend started from seed and have not been circulated, and samples were taken from the stem, leaf, and a slice from the main trunk near the crown.
Took a while to get the test I wanted...all sorts of people want to charge for one test or another, I got together with some scientists working with hemp who are going to do full DNA sequencing on each sample, so instead of testing for a handful of organisms we'll be getting charts back listing what each strand of DNA sequenced belonged to. Next round of tests will all be soil and tea tests, really excited for those but still a month or so out.
