Mettrum claims 28.57% THC (Super Lemon Haze)

View attachment 3173911 View attachment 3173911 View attachment 3173913 So what does everyone think of the Red #2? I've personally had better. Tastes like ass when smoked but is somewhat tolerable vaped. Still kinda harsh when vaped though. I find it has more of a "bounce" sheet flavor than a lemony one.

Agreed on most points. Looks great, smells nice and tastes horrible ( soapy ). It is also missing that thick white marshmallowy smoke most SLH has. Nice clean white ash which was a change from Mettrum's kush selection. SLH has at least 3 pheno's in my opinion and this is the one the middle. Nice looks moderate high. Good energy, for daytime and summer. Not sure if this is good enough to stay with Mettrum as their other strains have been failures.

i can't even believe they would say it was 28%..thats BS. OG Ghost Train Haze is the strongest strain High Times has ever tested at 25.49% and you know damn well that Rare Dankness grows a lot better than Mettrum ever will.

Apparently there are some new contenders i was unaware of.. either way.. we can all agree that it's not 28%. lol

I'm now in the process of trying to get a refund or credit from Mettrum. Should be a fun time. They expect me to mail it back to them. I said I don't feel comfortable mailing it seing as how I don't have permission to be mailing cannabis around the country unlike them. I also said that if their shipment was seized a while back and they were allowed to be making that product transfer, what guarantee do I have that as a private citizen with no permit to ship cannabis that it won't be sniffed out and seized. They had no answer for that one

Fucking brilliant...I love it!
I wish I could give you 5 likes for that.
I would be in heaven if some of that "high octane" mettrum product could be tested at RPC for validation.

As soon as this thread was started, I emailed Mettrum asking for a detailed description of their testing methodology and how they arrived at such a lofty THC content for their SLH. That was almost 2 weeks ago, and never heard back.....

Maybe you should have asked HC to go in and double check those results.

From what I've heard, HC is going into almost all the LPs and double checking whatever they want.
That said, I was looking at the testing processes yesterday and honestly, there's so many ways to do it, parts of the plant they could test, times they could test it at, etc. Who says they aren't dusting a small amount in THC and sending it for testing.. it's a really hard thing to document accurately from what I've read.

That said, I'm still trying to figure out what HC considers a valid test in this area. They don't specifically name a process, they just say it has to be tested. To the best of my knowledge..

Too funny...HC ( who doesn't approve of MMJ ) going into LP's and double checking ...What....Is that like the blind leading the blind. WTF does HC know about weed or security or anything related to growing or even agriculture for that matter.
So oddish what are they exactly checking ...huh....The first aid stations ??
You got all this inside info on what's going on but never really say anything concrete. You got one weird hobby man !

One weird hobby is correct.
This particular information came from elsewhere on this forum - someone noted the spontaneous inspections and issues at the LPs. I believe most are tied to SOP compliance and Security.

Unannounced inspections are nothing new in this type of industry, and are pretty much the norm when dealing with government regulating bodies. As a QA professional that has worked in a few different sectors, I've always had to deal with the government showing up for spot inspections throughout the year. It's no different in food production, NHP production, or water treatment.....if they always tell you they are coming, they will never get an accurate picture of what is really going on. HC will be all over LP's for the first year or two, and they would be foolish to expect otherwise.

I can't find it right now, but I very recently saw a job posting through a recruiting agency for MMPR compliance officers...... from what I could gather, HC was contracting out compliance/inspection work or was hiring this agency to quietly hire these people for HC. The ad specifically mentioned the job entailed research and inspections in order to ensure LP compliance with the MMPR. The posting was for 2 positions to start and mentioned more of a similar nature in the very near future. The postings did not list many specifics, but to me it looked like HC is upping the ante on the inspection/security front as the current LP's ramp up and more get going/approved.

I really wish I could find the link to the job posting, but it may have already been taken down. It mentioned that the positions had been filled but to check back for more positions of a similar nature in the near future. I found it to be interesting as it was buried on a recruiting agency's website, and I could not find mention of these jobs on government websites or major job sites......it was almost like HC was try to do the hiring as quietly as possible.

Testing is covered by the pharmacopeia that the LP is using. It's been awhile, but I think it's laid out pretty clearly.

some of us should apply for those jobs.....
( we are not just customers we are inspectors)...lol

The one way I figure they could have got such a BS # is that the indicated amount may be the TOTAL amount of cannabinoids in it. THC, CBD, CBG, CBN, etc. Either way, factually inaccurate and if that is the case, false advertising.

Watch the video I posted near the beginning of this thread......when using LC to test for total THC%, there are errors commonly made in the testing/calculation process which will artificially inflate test results. The most common error involves not accounting for the mass of the CO2 which off-gasses during the decarboxylization stage of the testing process. I think that many people knowingly make this error to hype/inflate test results, but anyone with a decent knowledge of marijuana knows that 28+% THC is an extremely unlikely and suspicious result. This may fly with seed companies and in the recreational market, but not with HC and Canadian MMJ.

Sort of like how Gas Chromatography isn't an accurate way to measure due to the involvement of heat and how that can lead to an inaccurate reading of THC. I know that testing methods differ in the states when it comes to dispensaries having product tested. Not that I would expect them to, but does HC recommend one method over the other?

The LP testing that is done is set out in the Pharmacopoeia that the LP is following. Health Canada mandates that LPs pick a pharmacopoeia. There is a list of acceptable pharmacopoeias that LPs can pick from.
(that's a tough word to spell)

So I imagine this is the list then: http://laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/F-27/page-15.html#h-20
That makes perfect sense.

So different pharmacopoeia means different testing methods which means different results? I thought they wanted standardization and all that other bullshit, wouldn't they agree on 1 testing method? Since the THC/CBD levels basically mean shit now since Tilray's 22% might actually be better than Mettrum's 28% or whatever based on how it was tested. I guess patients are supposed to make informed decisions on bullshit %'s now too.
