Hop Latent Viroid all the way to harvest

Has anyone ever grown all the way to harvest from seed or cutting a plant with HLV? If so what were the results? I’m sure they were not great but specifically describe the plant throughout it’s life cycle and the buds after harvesting. Thanks for all responses

Why?

I’m thinking there’s a chance I might have. Would like to hear other’s experiences

The buds turn out shitty.

pictures?

Well yeah of course but specifically what characteristics do they and the plant exhibit?

Stunted growth, brittle stems, tiny bud and hardly and trichome production.

I don’t really have any pics because I thought i just had a plant with a potassium lock out or something more typical like that so i didn’t really think it was a big deal and just let the plant keep going after everything i did to try and fix it failed. I was just kind of amused by it’s ability to stay sick so i just never threw it out and then it started flowering and i thought well hell let’s just see what happens. So last week i harvested the buds from it which weren’t much. But there’s things about the buds making me wonder if it was some sort of disease or something else.

Hard to tell honestly without seeing it but if you suspect something fishy, id start over on that one.

Had all those but trichromes were pretty decent. does anyone know if there’s a smell associated with HLV . Or if theres any other plant ailments that would make a plant and the flowers , more so the plant itself though ,leaves and stems etc. smell really fkn terribly horribly bad.

Could be rotting, usually foul smell would be associated with bud rot, root rot, etc.

I looked at the roots after i harvested and they looked healthy enough, could’ve been bigger but there wasn’t any bad smell at all from the roots or soil.

Also minimal bid rot on the plant. Much less than some of my other plants. Just a couple spots that were dealt with and caused no trouble

Horrible!

DO NOT LET SICK PLANTS ENTER FLOWER!

Everything is reduced to half or lower:
- Yields
-Growth
-Nug size
-Arm length
-Nugs will look like mids
-Smell is reduced
-Infestation bombs. Bugs love weak plants

More sensitive to lights, nutes, stress. (Burns easily, locks out faster, finishes faster too)

You can get some pretty decent nugs on them but their arms are so weak, they need to be constantly supported or the arm will snap from its own weight.

Compared to a healthy plant. Night and day difference.

IMO One healthy plant is better than 10 sick plants in terms of yield and quality.
