Beet Curly Top Virus BCTV

If your plants are fucked up and aren’t testing positive for latent hop virus then it’s probably this. Didn’t even know it existed till some company released a test for it.

Also I believe Potyviridae is present in cannabis. Plant viruses can be treated with antibiotics…

Except for the part where “antibiotics” are traditionally “anti-bacterial” rather than “anti-viral”.

I’ve been reading old grow logs from the 60’s/70’s. It seems antibiotics where more commonly used then. I will find some reference for you later. I’m excited to play with it.

Edit: After going back through my notes I realized my antibiotic research was based on solutions for blight. Streptomycin seems to be most effect.

Beet curly top has been present and some researchers have been testing for it over the past couple years.

I know for a fact it was present last year in the CA desert, some of my plant pathologist friends were confirming it at multiple farms. Especially outdoor hemp.
