I have a pack of these too but haven't popped any yet... how did these turn out?

It fantastic smoke but not up to the 'sequined clutch purse' visual standards that a lot of the market seems to prioritize for some weird reason. Bright green, not dense structure, but damn if it doesn't knock your socks off the minute you open up the jar.

Yep, heavy Goo action on the Ridge in Nevada County back in the day...from what I've heard it suffered from its own success - flooded the market then the next year no one grew it, then the year after that no one anywhere knows where the cut went :D I do know that a recently deceased Mendo old...

Phinest hasn't propagated that cut from tissue culture in almost a year and a half. Hopefully whoever continued the line keeps their shit clean. Looking good so far :)

Heya, chatted with my ph.d. homeboy and he confirmed it was roughly 8% transmission from a HpLVd+ mother plant. Not sure if they've had a chance to do any comparative studies with male HpLVd+ and female HpLVd -, or both positive. Was an internal study they did, nothing published.

haha internet

Yes. Not via DH, this was an internal trial from another biotech company doing hop latent viroid research. Since then others doing biotech research have confirmed similar transmission rates. Can't speak to the controls regarding which parent was infected, but I can probably find out if I dig...

False. PCG is one of the best teams out there when it comes to incorporating true plant science with the watchful eye of an experienced "legacy" breeder. Might seem like it's just pollen chucking on great cuts, but there's a lot going on behind the scenes there.

yeah if only it were that easy with plants :wall: :D

thanks long time listener, first time caller :blsmoke:

have a homie who works with Phinest, sounds like they're going to run their Chem D cut out of the tissue culture lab and have it out in Cali soon

If it's not directly from a TC lab, it's hard to call it a "TC cut"... once a cut leaves a proven sterile facility, there's no accounting for what conditions the plant sees.

HpLVd has a 8% - 10% transmission rate through seed if there are infected parents.

Tissue culture can eradicate HLV, but it's not guaranteed. Initiation material needs to test below a certain titer level otherwise the time and cost to eradicate is very burdensome. But yes, meristemetic initiation is how you would start this process.
