STRAINLY

Have you changed lights? Nutrients and do you have more before pics?
Yes. I upgraded from hps to led last summer because we had a major heat wave here. I immediately started pulling more weight, and saw an increase in trichomes, terpenes, and color. Then I got the cuts off Strainly, and everything has gone downhill since. It seems that it took a couple rounds for this to infect the entire room. But now every strain I have is showing the same symptoms. While they appear to be in perfect health, they just completely stop growing in week 5/6. So if you are looking for plants that finish fast, buy some cuts from Tomistein501.

I prefer 70 days minimum myself. Those buds are tiny in the second photo comparison your thumb. This is why I don't recieve cuts

You should just pay to get a sample tested for peace of mind.

Testing is super affordable. Quite a few vendors now that are testing their stock frequently if they are making new additions.
Ultimately the choices are to pop your own beans or buy from vendors who test and/or offer their own personal hunted stock. I think most of the current hype strains are mediocre. If people can't find something in a pack or 2 from a good breeder, they need a new breeder.

Definitely get testing. It is a percentage of what you paid for. For most a small percentage. I mean someone is willing to toss a cut they paid $300+ for without even running a $25 test to see if they are correct. I am not saying you are wrong, just your method is unreliable. If you want to toss a cut after a week from receiving it without wanting to test it and sure that it has HPLVD from some sort of visual factor then that is on you. I have seen every symptom of hplvd caused by environmental factors or stresses on healthy plants.

As far as Tomistein goes, I am not 100% sure of his operation but it looks like he gets his cuts straight from the dispensary. They usually coincide with drops around the bay area at Harborside or Sanctuary out in Sacramento. This would mean most of his cuts come from reliable sources that test. Granted there can be some contamination in between. But definitely worth taking the time and expense to test.

Seen where node labs had their library either tc’d or something like that, clean. Also seen someone mention the nodal test?is not as reliable as a meristem?test? I’m not rightly sure exactly what they meant lol I think I do

Looks like a russet. You can get rid of them easily in veg with a little bit of sulfur dust mixed with water and sprayed.
Thanks for the tip. I have never dealt with these before. I also have plants in three different stages of flowering. Any tips on how to eradicate them in flower?
