THC % in weed is misrepresented. It is not 20% ( eg) it is closer to 2 or 3% .

[MIMedGrower]

that's rude..but normal historically. bring an opinion contrary to everyone belief and am attacked personally as opposed to just showing math. the normal thing in a conversation is to post evidence or show math

Yes I agree but you didnt bring any evidence just your opinion.

 

[beluga]

All I'm hearing is that you'd like for it to be represented differently than how the field has chosen to represent it. Your thread is even titled as such.
I don't actually care to get into the math. It's a matter of semantics, not statistics.
Just because they've chosen to measure it by one method rather than another doesn't illegitimize what they tell you. It just sounds nicer commercially and it's up to the consumer to know what those measurements mean.
We could measure shoe size by foot length instead of standardize sizes. We don't, because the manufacturers chose something else. But I know that I when I buy a size 45 shoe, I'm not matching it to my 45" or cm foot.

I hate to quote myself because I feel like a twat doing so.. But...

I'm not a math guy. I am a logistics guy. I trust Mimed to know what the math is and how it's derived.
Either way about it, my point remains.

I did know how this ends . that is why I was able to try to pre empt things .
judt put math on paper

dies 20 % weed contain 20 g thc.?
does alcohol contain 40% alcohol
?
that is how percentage works
if weed has 20 g thc show where it is
thc percentages is based comparatively to weight of resin
if you collect 100 g resin from whatever volume of plant material and that resin tests at 20% thc that rating is given to the plant irrelevant of resin content.

True unpopular opinion - Give me the originals. Stuffed ones got too much cream and it throws off the mouthfeel with the milk

I agree. Its a ratio issue just like the premise of this thread. :-)

Ok now that he's posting these things I'm starting to see what you guys are saying. He send me the exact same pics and words in chat.

He is just a troll trying to keep this going as long as he can. I have no idea if he grows or not, but I am sure you could look up the testing procedure in your licensing agreement, which he has stated he is licensed and find out how the testing procedure is completed.
I am not trying to be an difficult, it just looks like this guy is up to something that serves NO VALUABLE PURPOSE and the sooner he is off the site the soon we can get on to productive conversations.

 

[johnsmith_559]

Semi-commercial? I dont think the cannabis act even contains such a designation. No way in hell is that facility licensed by health Canada for legal licensed sale production.
Licensed under ACMPR for personal use maybe.. But thats a stretch calling it personal use.
Is this a large Black market production facility?

would you like copies of my licences ?
we ran for a half dozen licencees.
yes medical licences .
we do testing fur our customers who are sick with a variety of ailments

Honestly i only know because i watched a video of a lab test being done for uvb comparison and they melt the whole sample with a chemical and then put it in the tray plant matter and all.

i wouldn't argue without evidence.

Once it gets to the point of redundant error, I get it... (the expulsion)
It served a purpose to tickle him in some way and for us to get our reality boots on.

 

[johnsmith_559]

It looks like you posted them so that people feel compassionate towards you as a final resort.

that is weird. I post pics to show I actually grow and that is taken to.look like a cry for sympathy?
that shows I dont grow a little plant in the closet and say I am a expert grower

still no. Doesnt matter how many times you repeat it. If you test weed you get the percentage of total mass. If you test only resin you get the percentage of total mass.

there is no extraction done to separate the resin from the weed. Why do you keep saying there is?

Ahh, Black market. Gotcha.
I dont want to see your ACMPR or grandfathered MMAR certificate.

Cannabis act licenses for a production facility that sells to medical "customers" are not given to places like that with all that wood in there. To get a license your place needs to be easily sanitized, FRP walls etc.. Not held together by 2x4's

What you likely have is an ACMPR certificate correct? You can be a Designated grower for a patient, but you cant sell your pot to customers with that.
So who pays the bills to keep the lights on? Who benefits from the 18lbs of pot? You can only grow for 3 people so if you say youre pulling 18lb every 2 weeks, that sounds fishy...

But sure, if you have a License for a sale production facility lets see it.

Well you posted it when people didnt agree with you for credibility. But larger grows dont automatically give credibility.

Okay all this arguing aside, now that we have some knowledgeable people joining the thread can someone answer my question?
what part of this isn't true because one of them must not be:
There is flower that tests at 20% thca
the trichome heads are 75% thca for arguements sake
There is no thca in the stalks
the stalk of the trichome is around 2 times the size of the head therefore the entire trichome is 25% thca (75%/3=25%)
So 20% of the bud is thca and 25% of the resin is thc, that would mean that 120% of the bud is resin.
Btw those are theoretical obviously

trichomes are different on different plants. Its always a static ratio based on total mass.

Or am i missing something?

Sorry I don't think I understand

 

[johnsmith_559]

what ???
there is not thc in plant material
thc is produced in the head cell of th4e trichome
the rest of the trichome is calcium carbonate and terpenes ( marijuanna botony by robert Connell Clarke has an excellent description and diagram
let's assume that ALL thc analogues such as Cbn cbd and thca have all had 100% successful conversion .
now thc is not 75 % of resin .
the vast majority is calcium carbonate followed by terpenes

yes . that also means a plant with a higher thc rating on the package can have less thc than another plant .
10 g weed at 20% thc rating but 10 % resin content has 0.2 g thc
10 g w33d at 15 % resin and 15% thc has 0.225 g thc

I said 75% of the trichome head is thc

When u go to the weed store it tells u right on the container the thca content a means active, i have seen straight d line oil with a thca content of 90%/ this is bc of quality control as the product was sent to a lab and tested/ 3% thca is mostly in cdb/ the lab does not lie bro, for the life of me i dont understand what ur driveing at? There is NO dispute that today's cannabis is much stronger today bc of selective breeding.

 

[johnsmith_559]

statement
thc content on package of weed rated at 20% thc is only on the resin content.
resin content is not stated .
rating system used presently is not consistent
if you believe the 20 % rating means that there is 20 g thc show where it is in the plant
