[Kcar]

I just looked at your other threads. 100% sure you had broad mites.

Check this thread.

mosaic passes thru cutting tools like the article states. it left the room when the infected plants did. just get some new cutting tools and you should be good

New trays and good old bleach water....I would soak the place a couple times letting it dry in between..Idk if you shoild use anything that was in the room at the time od infection...for some reason I don't think O3 would do the trick..

Your tools will be fine if you disinfect them get rid of all organic and plant matter, spray down eveything in the room with the solution from my previous post, you can use a garden sprayer

Get a 100x loupe seriously and look for those little fuckers...Miteratbastards.. make sure it is not them first.. I misid'd them for years and now even doubt my mosaic knowledge from prior cucurbit farming.. Solved my persistant problem though ..

Yeah the mite suggestions looked promising, those things are ridiculously small. Sanitizing the room this weekend so I am going to do the following steps

* Spray the room with a TSP solution mentioned by Sativa Dragon with a bug sprayer
* Pickup a virucide/miticide and spray with the bug sprayer. I'll mention the broad mites as I have a suspicion Kcar might be right, but it could be anything. Anything you guys might suggest?

I also bought the Virus test strips for pepmv hopefully those are the right ones. So if symptoms appear next cycle I'll know if it's this stupid virus or not.

I think the the TSP solution/miticide/virucide should be enough to cleanse the room. so I'm not gonna use the bleach, unless you guys think it's necessary.

Read the article I posted. It's specifically about virus management in the greenhouse.

But it WAS broad mites. Not TMV. TMV affects the plant as it it growing.
I.E. one side of a leaf will grow longer than the other, making the leaf skew to the
side. And it doesn't effect just the tops, the way broad mites do. Also,
TMV does not cause the extreme canoeing that you see in his pics.

I understand that. However, someone searching on dealing with mosaic virus might very well come across this thread, and what I posted would be valuable for them. Far better than reinventing the wheel, wouldn't you agree?

The clones were at a spot that had plants that had the virus before, It didn't even cross my mind because it was years ago. No pictures though. and Budwhyser ozone sounds promising after doing some research and coming across this

So in layman's terms the ozone attacks the protein coat of the TMV virus and inactivates it, right? If I had the Ozone gens running what would the use of the ammonia and bleach be? Is there somewhere specifically I should spot clean with it?

Thanks!

If you get the large 12 inch big blues and let them run 2-3 days it will destroy everything in the room. You can not be I the room and must locate the generators close to the door so you can quickly enter the room, unplug it and leave for 30-45 mins to allow the ozone to clear.

The NO2 is just to make you feel better and more nuclear than anything else. Spray the walls down, but the ozone will get er done for sure

Are you 100% they had mosiac virus?

most cases of mosiac virus in cannabis plants exist in the minds of minds of growers who see that sticky in this subforum and don't bother to do normal grow-room troubleshooting

 

[maryjaneismyfre]

Bleach is the standard in hospitals and mushrooms farms for a reason..Spray something with Azadirachtin after cleaning, azamax, or the likes and use protection as its poisonous shit and also watch bleach, it will nail your lungs so use a mask and a 10% solution in a backpack or pressure sprayer will kill all. You need the Azadirachtin after to take care of eggs as the mite cycle of those tiny ones you can't see is soooooo quick, 3 days and arounds, it is a bitch to break the cycle. Spidermites use to scare me, now I laugh at them and shiver at the thoughts of those bastards that I never saw.

Im sooo glad I ran across this thread.I dont mean to high jack the thread.Now heres the deal.Im starting a new room.I started packs of Stardawg,Wifi,& Doc's Og.30 seeds total.All seeds germed but 1 Stardawg.They all sprouted,but after a couple of days stunted,and tips of the false leaves turned a bright yellow.I looked under the scope and seen little clear dots on the leaves.Assumed they were eggs so I hit them with mighty wash and neem oil.They never took off.Stayed stunted.Then after reading the sticky on the virus,I thought thats what it might have been.I smoke cigars,and remember starting the seeds after smoking.I lightly washed my hands but not nearly as good enough.Ive been so fuckin depressed because I thought I might have infected my whole seed collection,which is priceless.I have alot of strains that are no longer available.But now after reading more I see it might have been just broad mites.But Im still not sure.Also after I hit them with neem and mighty wash they looked like they were still fighting then the next day they all fell over limp.What is is a safe product to use on seedlings?And is the treatment below 100% safe for seeds?:::::

-Ensure that clean seed material is used for sowing. Inactivate any virus on the seed coat by soaking seeds in a 1% solution of trisodium phosphate (TSP) for 45 minutes, followed by soaking in a 0.5% solution of sodium hypochlorite for 30 minutes (see footnote). Stir seeds during treatment and rinse in several changes of water afterwards.

Thanks!!! And BTW No more Dominican cigars for me,quitin cold turkey!!!! Worse than screwing a stripper bareback!!!
