YOUR HOP LATENT VIROID CHECKLIST
Hop Latent Viroid (HLVd) is a single-stranded, circular infectious RNA that causes stunted growth in cannabis and hemp plants that can decrease yield as much as 50%. Use these checklists to help you identify, eliminate, and prevent an HLVd infection in your grow.
Identification
If you observe any of the following symptoms, you may have a hop latent viroid (HLVd) infection.
Propagation
† High percentage of clones damping off
† Clones unable to take root
Vegetative Stage
† Lateral branching
† Brittle stems
† Smaller, narrower leaves
† Discolored, malformed leaves
† Shorter internodal spacing
† Odor similar to composting leaves
Flowering
† Decreased flower size and/or density
† Decreased trichome production
† Decreased oil production
† Increased hermaphroditism
† Increased susceptibility to pathogens (powdery mildew, botrytis, etc.)
Elimination
If you suspect a HLVd infection, use the following steps to eliminate it.
† Test any plants showing signs of HLVd infection with PathoSEEK Hop Latent Viroid Detection Assay and remove any plants that test positive
† Expand testing to include all mother plants and remove any plants that test positive
† Replace mothers with new plants grown from seed
† Perform a deep clean of all equipment and surfaces using a 10-20% bleach solution
YOUR HOP LATENT VIROID CHECKLIST
Prevention
Use the checklist below to make sure you are taking proper steps to prevent HLVd infection.
Propagation
† Screen mother plants for HLVd prior to taking any cuttings
† Space out mother plants to prevent contact
† Sterilize sheers and equipment with 10-20% bleach solution before and after
contact with plants
† Sterilize trays and humidity domes with 10-20% bleach solution
† Use fresh cloning gel for cuttings from different mother plants
† Quarantine and test outside clones before introducing them to clean plants
Vegetative Stage and Flowering
† Space out plants to prevent contact
† Sterilize pots with 10-20% bleach solution prior to transplanting
† Sterilize sheers and equipment with 10-20% bleach solution before and after
contact with plants
† Sterilize irrigation lines with 10-20% bleach solution
† Require visitors and staff wear hairnets, beard nets, gloves, and Tyvek
