u know my method, decarb the flowers and then squash out edible medicine.
the idiot politicians were wanting to limit thc in flower to 10% so i'd just have to buy twice as much and pay more taxes on it.
pretty clever.

On that other post...40% is just not believable. We had some trim come in at 17% terps... I didn't believe it. Can't possibly be that high. Labs are super inconsistent. I just retested for Potency and Terps on these 3 strains with 2 different labs..... totally different results.

and congrats on ur grow.
my banana kush plant is still a couple of weeks out, and this isn't trashing tiger bloom, but i switched back to 4ml micro 8ml bloom and she's starting to plump back up.
plants might be like dogs. ur not suppose to just switch their food suddenly.
i'll finish out with gh but i did add botanicare cal mag plus at 3ml to the mix.
that and i do think molasses helps.
and prayer.

Notice the moisture content on that lab.. 6%. That's a cheat. You CAN get higher THC readings if you dry the hell out of it, but we don't do that.

heck, go down 360's list and 6% is high for them.
if trichs are literally dripping off my banana kush, i figure high thc.
i know if u get pests, u might as well press cardboard.
i'm too much of a lowlife to give money to a lab to check cannabis, whether it's mine or if i bought in a dispensary, according to the govt.
imagine buying fish, getting sick and wanting to take it to a lab but the govt said no.
u can take mushrooms to the college for identification.
i don't need that service.

yup, that's exactly correct!
i hate to tell humans, but doctors aren't as smart as u might think they are, i built their houses, they are unbelievably stupid.zero common sense.
now lawyers in that price range home were pretty clever.

Not to mention most doctors are narcissists and egotistical, they think they’re better than everyone else because they went through med school. Well I went through the school of hard knocks and I don’t think any school could compare

You COULD dry it down to say 2% moisture content and get great results, but it would be incredibly harsh and dry. No flavor, and you'll hack up a lung.

you have pretty good insight into the lab side of things. In Oregon there are some similarities in the testing marketplace from what I can gather from my personal experience.

Lab takes a sample into chain of custody into their lab and runs a few tests, they report back to the licensed farm their results, important to note that labs take a few tests and report back either the lower end of the results, the middle, or the high end of the results. If the sample provided tests at a low of 14% but the high side of the tests came in at say 23% depending on the lab they will deem it on the high mid or low end.

So that’s the lab side of things depending on how they do their results, let’s look at some practices licensed producers do to amp up their numbers sometimes.

some farms dry some of the samples for testing way to dry for sake of having a higher thc content and some even dust em with Kief as well for the samples for lab samplers.

im not saying this is right and ethical I am simply pointing out some nuances in the industry that are driven by the end consumers IE people who only look at thcas a buying motive.

.... OR they know the guy at the lab, and flip him/her a wink, nod, and a couple hundred bucks.

Labs are pretty random. What gets me after growing weed for a couple years is I don't really look forward to the plants that give super dense trichome buds . They usually have a fruity smell which turns me off. Just give me my skunk Bubba Kush!

Hello. Great grow with so much information. I've been looking at Ethos Grape Diamonds and Orange Kush Cake. I can only fit one any advice?

Of the 2, Orange Kush Cake has the best potential for yield and hunting good mothers.. Grape Diamonds makes a fine smoke, but grows very lanky, airy buds, and terrible yield.

Wink and a nod indeed, it’s refreshing to see producers like you who are aware of the marketplace realities and still keeps it real in terms of testing for honest numbers. Ain’t nothing wrong in knowing what the guys next door are up to in terms of tricks when it comes to testing.

hats off to you my friend.

I think the only way to mitigate some of this is to have a standard threshold of lets say a max of 15% and min of 10% moisture content. Under 10% would disqualify your labs. The only reason they put a 15% cap is to ensure that product doesn't start to mold after its received by the Dispensary.
