First of all, you guys are newbies to this forum 2017 and 2018 you guys signed up. Maybe you guys haven’t been around long enough to know that this has been happening and has been talked about since 2014. Just go back to the beginning of this thread and you’ll notice that GG4 and the OG’s are notorious for dudding.
Second I don’t believe this is a hoax or growing errors. If you research commercial crop cultivators you will notice that it’s a worldwide phenomena and a major problem that comes with commercialization of crops. I think the problem is that you guys have never experienced it. Which is fine and I understand why you guys don’t believe in this. I was a bit skeptical before too until it happened to me. It’s not runts or plants that are developing slowly. It’s real and I attest as living proof that this phenomenon exists. I wouldn’t be wasting my time talking about it with nothing to gain in the process. I’m not making money from this disease.
And as you mentioned they have come up with a cure. Sure there is a cure and thats called stem cell regeneration. All they have done is use that cloning technique and add a combination of cold/ heat treatments to eradicate the virus. I’m sure they’ve spent a lot of money researching and figuring all this out, so it would be right for them to get compensated for their efforts and services cause it’s not cheap and requires time.
Now there maybe a case where Monsanto might have facilitated the spread of this virus. To knock out the Small market grower. Who knows I wouldn’t doubt it. But like I said viroids are a major problem for commercial crops and if you guys are not careful you may be culprits of them in the near future. There are plenty of plants I’ve seen on the infirmary threads that have odd branching patterns with bowing branches and leaf mutations. This is happening from epigenetics arised from stressful situations. Only viroids and 1 bacteria can cause the branching to bow like that from what I’ve researched. If you know any other reason why this may occur please post this knowledge on this thread so that we are aware cause I can’t seem to find it in any of the major cannabis books.
