Agdia sells home virus testing kits for about $5 each and they are very accurate, there are also labs you can send samples to have tested and if I remember correctly they were about $7 each.

Thank you everyone for your input and advice. I suppose I'll have to take it little by little and figure out what is going on.

And it is too bad growers don't require a virus free certificate around the world, especially with plants coming out of Taiwan and so forth. Like someone mentioned earlier, cheaper tests that could be done in mass would prevent a lot of people from losing their collections to viruses, or people would stop selling sick stock to the not so experienced eye with certain symptoms. It's just a shame.
