Alfalfa Mosaic Virus in cannabis

Just got some test results back from the lab and alfalfa mosaic virus was detected in my crop. Anyone got any info on how it expresses? Very little info available. Seems similar to TMV. Just wondering if anyone else has had the pleasure of dealing with this or if I’m a trailblazer again lol.

I don’t think there’s been any definitive way to set apart viroids like TMV and hop latent viroid in cannabis. I assume it will be like pornography- you’ll know it when you see it.

This lab uses pcr testing. I’ve had a few phantom symptoms where plants randomly stretch inside , outside and in my dep. Will post any interesting findings here.

Would you be so kind to photo this “insideoutstrech” phenomenon?

Distinction from viral infections sux because you might have to first rule out other pahtogens that might exibit a simmilar symthom…

But I like the methaphore from ag… When you see it you will know its there cause it will probably stand out of the crouwd…

You tested the odd plant and got back the result right?
