Mosiac virus

[nogutsnoglory]

After a month long battle with misdiagnosing the hemp mosaic virus I've figured it out and realized that my stock is completely fucked. I cannot believe there wasn't more info on this horrific virus. I have however 10 days ago discovered a product that is supposed to "hide/mask" the symptoms of the virus. Its called RNA Pro. The ladies have been getting it with every watering for the last 10 days, and have yet to make me a believer out of me. Does anyone have any experience with this virus and or product?

No experience but I would love to see some pictures for future reference.

Best of luck, be thorough with your treatments, clean up everything really well and you get rid of them. Be careful, people have been know to get rid of all their equipment and move locations because of broad mites.

Thank you all for your responses. I have reviewed the broad mite damage and indeed it is very similar to what I have going on. tmrw I will post pictures and see what you guys think. It is not clear to me if the broad mites makes webs like most spider mites, I have not seen any. The symptoms im experiencing are; retarded growth, curled and twisted leaves, pistils on flowers drying up premature, extreme vulnerability to shock. Again I will post pics tmrw, thanks again.

I could not figure out how to post pics from my iphone, i did however buy a 100x glass today and damn if i didnt find the tiny bastards. I never new there where mites so small. Im going to attemt to hold the rooms at 115 degrees for a couple hours every three days for a couple of weeks before i resort to chemicals. Has any one used this method effectivly? Ill prob incorporate co2 at 10000ppm for 3 hours as well.

take clones and start fresh is what I would do.
You have to pinpoint your source of infestation, or you might endlessly reinfest yourself..

I would get rid of all your media..

Im trying to get thru harvest, however starting fresh is an inevitability. The bastards have spread to every plant. I heat treated all rooms today for 2.5 hours at 115-120 degrees and ended up with roughly a 90% kill rate. I will do this 3 more times every 3 to 5 days and then let the girls ride it out.

swirskii mites are a good option if your trying to make it to harvest.
