They had to have gotten it from somewhere. I mean the fact that they were one of the top clone distributors makes it highly likely they distributed it the most. The problem was the lack of knowledge at the time. PCG had it in some of their cuts as well. It sucked because it caught us all off guard and the way it replicates is scary. Gone are the days of just using 90% alcohol to sanitize scissors. Nothing less than 10% bleach now.
My whole thing is that going forward we need to do something about it. Especially as clone distributors. We have to acknowledge it. Weed it out. And put procedures in place to keep it out. Like you said, Darkheart stepped up the game on it and so did PCG.

Is there a definitive study done on what chlorine % is effective in disinfecting nonporous equipment contaminated with the viroid (including time in solution)? I bring this up because household bleach chlorine % typically ranges between 5-9% sodium hypochlorite with the rest of the mix being water. I buy packs of straight razor blades, use a torch to initially sterilize then put them in a strong calcium hypochlorite solution after use but always 1 blade 1 plant when making cuts.

10% bleach was shown to fully neutralize the virus in Dark hearts studies.

When I mix up my dip cup bleach solution I usually go more than 10%. Probably more toward 20% just because I eye it out so I make sure its on the higher side. Each scissor is dipped for a minute or so then wiped down and rinsed off. Make sure you do not use warm water in your bleach solution as this degrades the bleach faster

are there any clean and real Green Crack Cuts out there? I have not looked into this much yet. Do you guys just keep them in veg and flower cuts of the cut?

Also very interested in Casey Jones if anybody knows where to get good seeds or a cut of that one

Tomistein was getting green crack earlier this spring, maybe he could keep an eye out for you.

This is exactly how I do it as well. Fresh blade for each plant, but instead of bleach for tools, I use Zerotol. I used Physan for awhile but I like the Zerotol better.

Strainly reviews cant be trusted. People rely on forums like this for the genuine reviews. At least I do. How does it serve the growing community to delete the posts of the sellers that cant arsed to test the cuts they sell? Not to mention, admitting to have RAs!

I get removing the shill posts (and the user) but the others?

Oh well, at least some of the quotes are still visible.

the posts removed were arguing nonsense and name calling those are against the forum rules,

no genuine reviews were deleted...

edit: it has nothing to dowith them being a seller, its simply 3 pages of you guys screaming at eachother name calling it isnt some mass cover up conspiracy just forum rules :)
