agree - I used to pay attention to the %, but lately I pick-up whatever 710 Labs flower is available as it's simply the best looking/smelling available; two different 1/8ths sitting on my desk - one at 15.11%, the other 29.23%; both hit nice out of the Mighty+; FYI - both $58 + tax 1/8th, $199 +tax for a 1/2 (18-20% discount at dispensary on various days) in so cal
with rosin, anymore I'm simply shopping within a price point; have had anywhere from high 60s to low 80s THC, but it all does the trick. a $80 gram may taste better, but a $40 gram does the job just as well.

How do you know what is 22% THC or 32% THC? Have you been certified by the Trichome Institute too?

Just smoke it and see what plants you like best.

It’s a slippery slope when affiliation between grower and test source occurs
I just don’t see a use for or even a reliability in a taste device
When it comes to flavor profiles I find most descriptions or a far cry from my taste buds
Apple fritter comes to mind
Seems like somebody is just looking for a marketing edge

Labs and testing are bullshit. I've tried 3 different labs from the same pheno, and got as much as 10 point difference in THC and terpene profiles all over the map... just grow it and if you like it, do it again. I've spent thousands of $'s on testing. (mainly because we have to).. but they are not accurate. Your nose, and your smoke are the best labs.

Right, around here thc % is bullshit. They try and get yeah by showing the total pecentage instead of just the actual thca %.. they dont clearly label here either ... so no clue whats what.. maybe down state some places do, just not up here.

Here in Cali there are a handful of state approved labs which screen for thc. cbd etc as well as mold, pesticides. Any dispensary in the state must have labels on each container with all the above info. Growers must submit samples of each strain for screening and approval for sale.
Likely a bit of variance in the thc content when you're talking about pounds and pounds of weed. But close enough for a decent idea of content
Each lab has reference values that correlate to the equipment they use. Switching labs and expecting agreement between their numbers is problematic.

$60 a half quarter? Jesus.

It’s been my previous experience that testing didn’t reveal systematic fungicides which is really odd
Given they know what to look for
Although they have gotten better still not sure on testing in general

Living toward the southern tip of the Emerald Triangle in 1995 I would pay $50 for an 1/8th; adjusted for inflation, that wold be $97 today. If I purchase that 1/8th from the dispensary on a discount day it's $53.82 out the door. Could/should it be cheaper? Probably - and there are cheaper options; but I can't get too upset when I'm effectively paying the same as I was almost 30 years ago.

This is why it's baffled me that the State did not set up standard testing equipment. They should all use the same equipment, HPLC machines, chemicals, etc. THEN!,... we might have a baseline. But it's like having 100 growers with the same cut and using different methods and expecting the same yields/results.

The methodology used for testing is flawed. It varies from state to state and it's not accurate anywhere. It's too easy to skew the results. Most of the labs have ties to the growers so there's that bias going on.

Preparing Composite Samples Starting March 31, 2022, a batch of marijuana or usable marijuana may consist of a harvest lot of a specifically identified quantity that is cultivated utilizing the same growing practices, harvested within a seven calendar-day period at the same location and cured under uniform conditions. The batch size may not exceed 15 pounds and starting July 1, 2022, the batch size may not exceed 50.0 pounds. The batch submitted for testing does not need to be strain specific, though if multiple strains are being grouped into a batch together, potency must be tested separately.
For potency testing, multiple batches of the same strain and substantially similar material in terms of appearance and quality may be combined. This generally means that trim and flower should not be combined for potency testing. Each quantity of dissimilar material would need to have their own potency test if they will be sold separately.
Each sample taken shall be homogenized individually at the laboratory. When a composite sample is being prepared for testing, a proportionally representative amount of material is withdrawn from each homogenized sample using the laboratory’s formal subsampling method, and then the material from each sample is combined to produce the composite testing sample.
