It does indeed resemble two images of TCV I found:

TurnCrink1 TurnCrink2

Maybe I should send a sample to Anne Simon's Crinkle Virus Lab--

or maybe not...

I've been talking to folks about (what I call) "Tape Stems" for almost 40 years.
Nobody had ever heard of 'em or seen 'em. Then I found The Strain Hunters about 6 months ago.
Right there in the mountains of Morocco were bunches of 'em--
they call 'em "Flat Stems"...

As long as we're "here" an all,

I have a question about the "Like" feature:

Even tho I've had the same (main) email address since 1989 (changed from .sf.ca.us to .com when they invented that www thinggie), I never got into the Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIn and all; and I have no idea how "Like" works.

The only post I "Liked" so far was an accident;
I hit "Like" instead of "Reply"--
but of coursed I liked the post...

Is it a good to "Like" a post I, ah, like; and is it an insult not to "Like" a post I like???
Are some folks offended if I don't "Like" their post, do they assume it's disliked???
And: Is it just a "real time" thing, or say: if I was reading a 3-year-old topic, er, thread;
should I "Like" every post in the thread I like--
Inquiring nodes wanna mind...

that is an excellent question...with many different answers im sure..

Some folks "save" their likes. and make them count.....

I click like all the time.....I just cant help it.

It is really cool to get a "like" from those folks that don't give them out often though!!

I think they mean more from those folks! :)

Addendumb:
I don't have a lab, and I'm not gonna send samples anywhere. I don't know if it is a virus or not, but the two pictures of the TCV were enough for me to pull the plant; and not mulch or juice it but remove it entirely from the garden.

Still going to keep an eye on the cutting tho--
only cuttings I usually grow are tomatoes...

IIRC, the stem flattening is called fasciation. Let me take a look.

As for 'liking', do it like you feel it. It's a substitute for the reputation feature where you could shoot someone a short message. K, lemme look up that terminology.

Oh my goodness. Well, first, yes, the term is fasciation. Second, I'mma give you the whole Google link of hits, because it includes some interesting photos.

Fasciation in plants.

"Fasciation", thanx; I think I remember that word from biology classes long long ago.

I have a big problem with terminology. I've been misusing many words for 40 years. Like the "word" triaxial which I made up just 'cause it was easy I guess; what I actually mean (probably) is "axial with three leaf nodes, and there's probably a specific word for that too.

I use the word "pruning" in a very limited specific way,
which I'm gonna have to so something about real quick.
I've worked in orchards, nurseries, landscaping,
so I know the word pruning means lots of things--
but of course I expect everybody to know exactly what I'm talking about...

many years ago on forums no longer around lots of people were pushing a theory/myth, that it was good to select some of these traits for breeding stock...I do not think it is good to pass on recessive undesirable traits(such as the flat stem) and in most other hort industries you would never breed with undesirable traits. A lot of the times the plants will grow out of the whorled phyllotaxy but that is not a desired trait to breed with regarding cannabis.

What is the "undesirable" part about fasciation/flat stem and Cannabis???

Sometimes a trait deemed "undesirable" for one person
can in fact be desirable to another with different goals.

Not every body (especially urbanites) can grow trees;
a self pruning plant with extra limbs might be of use to someone--
somewhere...
