Don't affect people as far as we know. Science changes... Smoking used to be considered harmless and endorsed by the surgeon general.
Sorry to disappoint bro.... Only anicdotalthere’s been a lot of research done on other crops with viroids outside cannabis and none of the studies are showing that they can harm humans and pass viroids. Same way human viruses don’t affect plants. If you find or run into anything contradicting my research please share.

If your grow affects someone elses you sure are hurting humans.
If you have the time and would like to read more on the subject. As you'll learn in the Conf Call Q and A's this will not go away anytime soon but there are solutions through testing and inoculating. It spreads mechanically/physically via touching and also by insects from plant to plant . It's like an STD. After pruning and training a plant, One Tool Use Only per plant and new gloves before moving to the next plant. I would bleach and then alcohol clean the tool with a sterile wipe after each plant touching.
I you leave the video running after the conf call the next video clip is an interview/experience with the growers themselves.

As I've personally not had the cell culture done I can't say for sure. One of mine made is to harvest but with a substantial loss in volume. I think with so many new hybrids coming out these days, the viroid can spread fairly quickly. This cultivators in the interview work for +-20K plant companies and I'd wager they that they only buy test clones from the best breeders and what they shared about some of those growths going fully bad, that's not a good sign for the industry.Have you dealt with this issue before? If so have you been able to manage it or have had to done the cell tissue culture procedure?
AP NEWSI and many other members on the farm have been searching for a thread on this to no avail. Hopefully this thread helps us figure out what, exactly, this dudding syndrome is.
So when I clone off of a mother plant I have a few genetics that will throw "duds". dud plants grow regular until some point in the first two months when they will suddenly stop normal growth, throw out tiny leaves with lots (7-9) of blades, lots of nodes, and usually will throw large mature pistils at the nodes. Trying to bend the branches usually will break the branch off, and over time the plant's healthy leaves will turn necrotic and begin twisting/dying.
Plants that dud out never produce a decent yield and almost always have a sub-par smell (if any) and very few trichomes. They also smoke like shit.
I'll dig through for some pictures but it's strangely difficult to photograph, even next to a comparison plant.
Any ideas as to what we're seeing? I'm looking near and far for a lab that can do testing for various viruses, the top of the list are Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus (transmitted by aphids) and Fusarium, although these syptoms don't match the syptoms of fusarium I've heard reports from commercial growers of duds testing positive.
Another possibility is a carbon drain on the plant due to an overabundance of nutrient-mobilizing fungi, @DowNwithDirT was looking into this and hopefully can swing in to shed some light (he's been busy winning cups and popping beans so we'll see)
Even still, it could be caused by some sort of change in the media when soilless media is overwatered (oxygen deprivation : overfertilization?) since this problem seems to be mostly in soilless mixes.
let's go, what you got to add?!

So here's a shot of a dudded out plant next to a healthy one

And a close shot of a healthy top (left) and a dudded top (right)

Notice how the dud leaves are all the same size, shiny, and have very deep serration on the margin. Stems are weak and break easily if flexed. Node devolpment is twice the average but is weaker and smaller.
