HLVD Testing and Doubled His Harvest is Presented as a Case Study |Verne Bioanalytics
To check for Hop Latent Viroid (HLVD Testing) infection, a southern US indoor cannabis farming facility collaborated with Bio Analytics, an independent testing firm that use Verne Bioanalytics.
Verify if HLVD Testing was the underlying cause of the low cloning success and plant and flower symptoms.
Determine which plants have been contaminated with HLVD Testing and get rid of them. Create and stick to rigorous screening and cleaning protocols to avoid any possibility of further outbreaks.
Boost their output by 100%!
Since fixing the HLVD Testing problems, “our yields and quality continue to increase with every cycle of the facility.” Our yields have more than doubled, and we recently got the third set of clear findings on our mother stock!
Probable Obstacles Encountered by a Cultivation Manager
To prevent the spread of HLVD Testing, growers should regularly disinfect their instruments with a bleach solution of 10-20%. Cloning from an infected mother can potentially result in the transmission of HLVD Testing.
Various symptoms may appear in HLVD Testing-infected plants. While some plants show no symptoms at all (asymptomatic), others exhibit “dudding,” or a decrease in vitality and productivity.
It didn’t take long for the new management at a growing facility in southern Oklahoma to realise that cuttings taken from some mothers weren’t doing as well as others. About forty percent of clones died during the replication process, and in certain situations, whole trays would not take root. About 35% of the cuttings that made it out of the vegetation room were discarded because they were not thriving or had unusual traits.
- Digression to the side (opening wide up)
- Stems that are unusually fragile
- leaves that are narrower and shorter than those on healthy plants
- Smells like decomposing leaves in the compost pile.
Less fruit was produced by the plants that made it to harvest. Less than 30 grammes per square foot was the average for the facility, which is 50% lower than projected. Some cultivars tested at only 4% THC, which is quite low. Hermaphroditism was also more common, and the scientists found that plants were more susceptible to infection from powdery mildew.
Bio Analytics Contributions
They suspected HLVD Testing infection after eliminating out nutritional deficits and other environmental variables. They used the Bio Analytics at Verne Bioanalytics to check eight plants for HLVD Testing. Five plants tested positive for HLVD Testing when results arrived a day after Bio Analytics received the samples. As soon as the team discovered the infection, they acted swiftly to remove the contaminated plants from the facility and conduct HLVD Testing testing on all 32 of their mother plants. A few days later, Bio Analytics returned data, and 16 of the 32 moms tested positive for HLVD Testing. Once again, the contaminated mother plants were removed and the researchers wasted no time in replacing them with freshly germinated seeds.
For more than 10 months, the viroid persisted even as the researchers fine-tuned its sterilising procedures and pinpointed many infection vectors, such as, but not limited to, contaminated drip emitters, pots, and cloning gel.
The team used Bio Analytics to conduct many rounds of testing, during which they eliminated any plants that tested positive and refined their procedures until the whole facility was virus-free.
Perspectives on the Future
After the HLVD Testing virus was contained, the team instituted new measures to safeguard against its return.
The first decision the group made was to ban all clones from leaving the facility. Only plant varieties that have been cultivated from seed in their own greenhouse will be used.
Second, they improved their sanitary practises by mandating the use of a 10-20% bleach solution to clean all shears and other trimming instruments between crops. The group had been using isopropyl alcohol to disinfect their gear before discovering that it did not work against HLVD Testing.
Finally, they’ll do Bio Analytics tests on their mother stock every three months to make sure it’s HLVD Testing-free.
