It seems here in WA where rec weed is coming to market in larger quantities, the consumer(and pricing to an extent) is driven by the "lab tested" thc content. Unfortunately, the LCB only calls for one sample of 5lb lots and the variation in those lots can be 50% or greater from what I have seen. The labs here are also struggling with any sort of consistency and claims of some labs offering "higher numbers" than anyone else. I have seen lab reports mysteriously jump since the retail stores have opened. One growers was consistently under 15% on all of his strains and now the lowest is 24%! something not right with that in my opinion. I also have to agree with what's been said here about what "quality" really means. I don't think you can honestly say that the bud that tests the highest will be the best. There are lots of contributing factors to "quality" and then throw in that we all have different taste and react differently to cannabinoid combinations. Just like food, wine and beer(and hard liquor) what one person loves, another may not!
This here is the answer.My best test is a cancer patient on Chemo. Do they think it works for them with nausea?
Does it kill your pain or help you sleep.
Does it help your mood? Does it keep you sane?
Which do you prefer over another for whatever reason. It's subjective.
I can even suggest a flavor or effect and you may taste of feel it. Placebo effect is far stronger than you realize so it's what you believe that makes it work.
Your mind is a healer. Your tastes are yours alone.
That can be the hardest thing to test due to you as the variable factor.
Even a stoned chick wouldn't fuck an old man like me...especially with Mrs. Bog around.
If I smoke this joint will I still have a fantasy? That's a test too.
Does it make you get a hard on? Good edibles work that way too so a lotta testing remains to be done. Any volunteers?
Gonna need a lotta young healthy stoner girls and a few old guys...LOL! :)
Sage advice from a legend. Props for starting this thread ur genetics and a post such as this. Honestly what better way to test then giving it to someone who is sick,deathly ill literally and said product bringing that person relief literal tangible relief. I deal with a few very sick aids patients, and their feedback is my ultimate test. Mood elevation and hunger stimulation. If they give me a thumbs up I know my product is real deal. My secondary test is my girlfriend aka Bob marley. Lol. True marijuanna connoisseur. I let her describe taste snell and power of the high. If she gives it a thumbs up I know anyone would. Lol. Keep up the good work bog! Much respect!Many methods exist. Hard to objectively test something that is a subjective feeling.
I think lab tests have little value. It's just a chance to buy an endorsement or take strains out of consideration.
My strains test high but it depends who tests it.
Thc levels can be altered by special lighting so maybe some geeks figured out how to get thirty percent from schwag.
Never believe the testing...take it with a grain of salt is all I'm saying.
