At this time this is unlikely, but there may be wild varieties that can behave more like hops and have it truly be latent. But this has not been found as of yet.
I’m in maryland having this issue now, I feel like I could have been more clean with tools, but at the same time it’s never been so humid, so much pouring down rain and absolutely zero wind outside just stagnant moist air you can barely breath all spring and summer with the most bugs (bad and good) I’ve ever seen and I’m sure all of the smoke from Canadas fires helped out too, 2 weeks or more of smoke everywhere blocking out the sun so yeah things are great right now lol.
I understand your situation. In that case, let's explore a few potential unconventional approaches that you could consider to address the hop latent viroid issue: 1. **Biochar and Compost Mix:** Experiment with a mix of biochar and compost as a soil amendment. Biochar has been shown to enhance soil health and microbial activity, which could potentially help plants resist viroid infections. 2. **Phage Therapy:** Investigate the possibility of using bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, to target the vectors of the viroid. This approach has been used in agriculture to combat plant pathogens. 3. **RNA Interference (RNAi):** Look into RNA interference technology to develop genetically modified plants that produce small interfering RNA molecules to block the replication of the viroid. 4. **Beneficial Microbes:** Explore the introduction of beneficial microbes or mycorrhizal fungi into the soil, which can enhance the plant's defense mechanisms against pathogens. 5. **Electromagnetic Fields:** Research the effects of exposing plants to specific electromagnetic fields, which could potentially disrupt the viroid's replication process. Remember, these ideas are speculative and may require thorough testing and consultation with experts. It's essential to approach these methods with caution and consider any potential risks or unintended consequences.
I am trying to use all my resources and everything I can to figure out things about this virus on my own level and this is just some of the information I found AI algorithm and I was looking for more insight
Quick aside from a dude that had his first grow in '73... The one aspect which I actually learned in '76 and has helped me immensely through the years and have never seen a video done about... chasing problems...
Are your crops infected? What percent. Do you think this is going into the Dispensaries. What is the average seed buyer going to do. How long do you think we have been smoking this.
Curious as to what other plants are affected by the viroid and how long it lasts on surfaces or does it only stay in plant tissue and organic soil matter. You stated pumpkin isn't susceptible which is great! I've heard peppers are though
i know this is is not about this video... but i have a question maybe you can address... i hear people saying you can use food grade hydrogen peroxide to combat pests in the flowering stage.. in my opinion if that thing is gonna be smoked i wouldnt use hydrogen peroxide while flowering...can you give me your opinion on whether it is safe to do so? thanks and great channel :)

I have some plants outside from the seeds i got from the 1 plant that made it last summer and they are like 6 feet tall i topped them they have branches and i got i aphid problem but i also 4 kinds of bugs eating them everything looks good and healthy but i only have have the signs of showing bud with the little hair in some places and no bud yet its looking like its gonna bud i got the growth spurt but it si the 28th and i am way behind i used alaska morebloom a few times they are directly in the ground and was started outside in may planted directly in the ground i dont think i am getting medication this year at this point in southwest saskatchewan we could get snow by mid october do you have anything encouraging to give me hope ?
Dont lose hope now man! There's a lot of videos on making organic Insecticide I'd jump on the bug Issue today if you could Then I'd figure a way to make some type Temporary greenhouse, hoophouse or some thing to protect against freezing Temps if your grow allows . It sounds like you have a legal medical grow? If that's the case imight be worth wild to build some thing more permanent like a window green house but you have to do what's best for your situation. I been growing outside for 25 yrs I ve had a lot of set backs especially when i first started where I didn't think id get harvest from that spot. Besides it was illegal in NY just until recently I would only put 5or6in the same spot that way if there was an issue it would be contained to them few. That's dependent on how many plants you have too if I only had 5 then they would be 1 at each spot but it was usaly 50 to a 100 i had it set up lik a trap line id run with my quad. Let me know how you proceed
Hey Professor, I'm newly subscribed! Marijuana has finally been legalized in Minnesota. I have been having issues with doing clones. I was hoping there was some way to message you, if you have a few minutes to answer a few questions I have. I have created my own aeration system after trying and failing with the germination chamber and peat pellets. Every single time I tried in that thing they would die from something, most of the time they got waterlogged and just would rot, I had the stuff to help them root faster cause mildew on some of them around the top where I stuck the plant in to. It's like they were never happy, either too hot and would get the mold or mildew issues, or if I tried to use less water, they dried out super-fast, I tried to leave the lid off while they were in my tent since they kept getting too humid, but they would literally fall over by the next morning with the lid off. I just could not get them to root using it, so I built this system and now I am hoping you can answer some questions I still have about using this type of method after watching your video. I tried to use these little cups similar to what plastic cups are made from and those would get full of green slime, and it would stain the cups and even the lid under the cups is stained green. I live in a small town with not many options to buy gear or supplies, but at Walmart I came across stuff called, Wet Foam. Could I cut these out to fit the holes of my aerator and use them to hold my plants as they root? I thought it seemed like it should work since the wet foam is used for other plant, not necessarily to clone them but they retain water, and it seems like it should work somewhat like neoprene or rubber, whatever other people use. I can't find any neoprene in my local stores; I can't even find those little cups with the slits in them that come with "professionally" made aerators. I hope you see this and message me back! Thanks, Travis

Thanking you kindly once again professor for keeping us informed on this issue. With luck we will get it resolved with the more that people look for it instead of just thinking about the impact on the pocket. Do the right thing and bag and bin them sick plants ! 🫵😘👍
Thanks for the comment, but watch your overall language, this is an educational channel so please keep comments professional, as many of your previous ones have demonstrated.
@@DeBaccoUniversity I apologise for my slip at the end of my comment and will be more than happy to respond by replacing said word. Thank you very kindly for the advice and heads up on the matter. 👍🏼😘🫵🏻
monsanto will just happen to have a strain thats resistant to it....... and only charge a small amount for it...... :P
Cultivar 😂
Was wondering about that myself.
At this time this is unlikely, but there may be wild varieties that can behave more like hops and have it truly be latent. But this has not been found as of yet.
make a problem, like covid, and take a money from it.
That’s the reason a lot of these viruses are around in the first place
YOU ARE THE MAN!!!! hope I didnt offend anyone with that statement lol
I know! Ya never know these days.
Thank you!

Never give up;-)
Professor, thank you for such a deep dive into this. Greta info in the series. Cheers
Share the video!
Thanks and yes, please share the video series with others!
Is there an affordable kit? A quick search on Amazon was $600. Does this sound accurate? As a home grower trying to find something viable.
They have been listed as low as $25.... tumigenomics.myshopify.com/products/hop-latent-viroid
Thanks for doing what you do professer DeBacco! Your info has helped me a ton during my first 2 years of growing.
Great to hear and thanks for sharing!

RNAi has the best odds of working, but would need to be an exact match to prevent the viroid from being able to bind to host cells.
hello Can I get some specific info about flushing
Search the channel and you will find the information you seek;-)

This can get complicated quickly but is an issue.
This can be a complicated issue.
Are your crops infected? What percent. Do you think this is going into the Dispensaries. What is the average seed buyer going to do.
How long do you think we have been smoking this.
In short it has made it to dispensaries, the key is to know what to look for when growing the plant. Odds are this has been around for a long time.
@DeBaccoUniversity yes sir you and your university are a great benefit to us all. Thank you 😊
Curious as to what other plants are affected by the viroid and how long it lasts on surfaces or does it only stay in plant tissue and organic soil matter. You stated pumpkin isn't susceptible which is great! I've heard peppers are though
Currently seems to be hops and closely related plants like cannabis.
i know this is is not about this video... but i have a question maybe you can address... i hear people saying you can use food grade hydrogen peroxide to combat pests in the flowering stage.. in my opinion if that thing is gonna be smoked i wouldnt use hydrogen peroxide while flowering...can you give me your opinion on whether it is safe to do so? thanks and great channel :)
Hydrogen peroxide is very short lasting and low residue so this is a good product to use in flower for these reasons.

do you have anything encouraging to give me hope ?
Are they auto strains? If not i would try autos, finish much quicker.
if you can erect a structure to protect from weight of the snow / contain some heat u can pull it off if you prepare
Dont lose hope now man!

Remember the plants will not give up, make a structure just in-case and do not give up on the plants because what if a frost does not come.

Search the channel for how to take clones and using the EZ-Clone can be very effective. Take a look at the Student Series playlist as well.
How much do tests cost? Is the prevelance due to modern monoculture type practices post legalization? Could it have been purposely spread?
Can depend on the style of test you select... store.medicinalgenomics.com/shop-by-application/plant-pathogens/hop-latent-viroid or tumigenomics.myshopify.com/?_gl=1*fkqwj*_ga*MTg3MjgyOTMzLjE2OTMyODEwNjQ.*_ga_TJKDRXL466*MTY5MzI4MTA2NC4xLjEuMTY5MzI4MTIwNS42MC4wLjA.
Is there any statistic for Outdoor vs Indoor/ HPS vs led (without uv)?
He has past videos on led vs bulbs.
Search the channel and you will find quite a few videos on lighting;-)
Wondering if seeds can be infected
Yes, specifically the seed coat.
