I've only used Iron Labs in the past, but it's been a few. I was considering giving one of their newer competitors and technology a go and PSI had been on the top of that list. Wasn't there some discrepancies between Iron Lab's and PSI's results at the High Times Cannabis Cup this year?

I'm with huel. I've done some recently thru jc 3 & they use iron. A few years after my original tests (and I did at least 4 per plant) the new tests are much lower and have these shifty notes about environmental stress. I just don't like the way I was 100%right about the "LIFETIME" membership when I originally questioned if it would truly be LIFETIME. I also do not know how the assumption that environmental stress cause some of the resin glands to be underdeveloped etc. Seems like reaching assumptions coupled with a price hike and a new unwanted narrative on the how and why of my grow just isn't as scientific as the original yes/no pests and x amount the, and etc. Not happy but as part of their plan, necessary to sell thru dispensaries.

The Spott in Kalamazoo is by far the best lab in the state. Iron and Act are second. Psi is third and anyone else is faking.

The Spott uses UPLC technology from Waters. They also have a qPCR that they can use to map the Genome of your plant. They are the least expensive, fastest (24-72hr results), and most accurate. The UPLC gets them within .5% of true. The second best in the state (iron labs) can only get you within 5% of true. I deff recommend you check them out. They are the best. I know if you contact their FB page they will also pick up samples.

I got G13 Pineapple Express 2 being tested right now, they are prolly a touch behind having just spent 2 days @ the states cannabis cup running their booth... Family owned business, very friendly ppl, several drop-off locations if you don't wanna go all the way to KZoo.... which is the shittiest town to navigate I have ever seen....

Have any Michigan labs other than Iron Laboratories become ISO accredited yet?

I assume the MMFLA board will choose ISO for accreditation as a requirement of their Safety Compliance Center Licenses later this year, so most finally should be headed in that direction.
