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

Some sort of Lab worker IMO. Just has something to prove.

Cannabis Quality Control Testing Using Gas Chromatography

Cannabis Science and Technology is the leading resource for the latest updates on analytical testing, cultivation, extraction, and more in the cannabis industry.

www.cannabissciencetech.com

An excerpt;
"Gas chromatography (GC) is a widely used analytical tool for cannabis testing that enables potency testing, terpenes profiling, pesticide screening, and residual solvents analysis—knowledge that can significantly benefit the cannabis industry. With access to these robust testing techniques, companies can accurately determine the active cannabis ingredients, providing vital information in a competitive marketplace. This, in turn, builds consumer confidence and aids market growth."

Take a look at this place. They are legit in Cali.

@johnsmith_559 According to this they don't just test the resin.

 

[MIMedGrower]

they do not use gas chromatography as the heating of the vapour degrades the compounds . hplc high pressure liquid chromatography is used ..
product separated .dissolved in lab grade methanol. spun to separate out compound by molar mass and put in chromatography column to separate in individual measurable compounds

“product seperated”

Yes if testing an extraction

No if testing the flower



why are you so stuck on this? Was it worth your time to argue til banned? More than once?

Is this a mars hydro thread ?

Jk I’m with everyone else if gets me high and reduces pain and anxiety it works - anotherwords im my own lab. Lol

 

[johnsmith_559]

now..ever use a carbon filter ?
my company TIBBITS AIR PURIFICATION in cobourg ont made the first activated carbon filter in 1997 .we made a triangular 20 lb refillable unit .we made them for ALLIES wholesale in BC . they were distributed across Canada. I sold 110000 between 1997 to 2003 . my first competitor was CANFILTER in 2003 the year my patents lapsed
if you grew weed in Canada between 97 to 2003 and you used carbon filters tiu used my 20 lb wedge or non at all.
I am easy to verify at home grown hydroponic by shelly the owner or sharon at hydro tech
I was known as jamie the air cleaner guy. company tibbits air
been in this bus a very long time .

Not anymore now that you joined thc farmer.

You will only enjoy mars hydro grown flowers tested accurately with a gas chromatograph and you will have to discuss every toke from now on.

@johnsmith_559 According to this they don't just test the resin.

 

[Dirtbag]

So what certificate do you have that requires you to have your product tested for pesticides and cannabinoids?

 

[MHippie]

you will need the molecular weight of oreos. And are we using original or double stuffed? Does flavor change results? Are they orange cream oreos or something?

You are really complicating this thread! :-)

Double stuffed and I REALLY want to add some milk to the equation...

 

[Moshmen]

does 20% thc mean 20 g thc in 100g weed ?
if yes were is it ?.
if no what does it relate too ?
but regardless if it is not the total mass of 100 g then my point is made

Try askin the lab you use I’m sure they can explain

 

[Dirtbag]

@johnsmith_559 According to this they don't just test the resin.

Not only that, they say it only takes a few mins. Guess what that means? Theyre using GAS chromatography.

 

[StoninStanley]

I feel so dumb for falling for this.

You ain't the only one lol

 

[beluga]

Double stuffed and I REALLY want to add some milk to the equation...

Gotta percolate that shit first

 

[gorillaglueaaron]

Okok if the bud is only 2-3% thc then explain why you get high off of a gram of weed but not off of 0.003 grams of distillate.
Or at least there's an extreme difference.

 

[MHippie]

yes . math can be confusing and hard. it my thread

Wait what? You dont want some oreos?!

 

[1diesel1]

This thread has officially hurt my head!!
Please stop!!!!

seems can filters started almost a decade earlier. I only looked this up because restaurants already used filters before 1997.

About Us | Can-Filters

The filter was great on its own, but pairing it with a fan – a necessary companion for a complete filtration system – took it over the top. We partnered early on with a German manufacturer to bring…

Closing in on three decades ago, we created a design for a canister style filter that was suited for high airflows and unsurpassed air filtering efficiency. Portability and what seemed like everlasting life were also key features of this new filters success. We named it the original, “Can-Filter” for simplicity and accuracy and it did just what its name implied; the Can-Filter really can filter!

Pretty sure thc is measured by total weight compared with the plant matter. So 20% thc weed is 20% thc by weight. I assume the oil in the trichomes is heavier than dry plant matter.

The percentage of thc in the trichome itself is a different measure and can be most of it.

And labs have no real standard of testing and growers give only the frostiest buds to be tested so no consistency tested bud to bud.

The OP makes statements that are not true to base this discussion off of. It is not worth the argument.

;-)

Which also suggests that if you test shitty overdried weed you will get a much higher thc percentage than good properly cured weed

Beat me to it ! I used canned carbon filters in the paint industry prolly late 80’s so I call bs .

no i dont think so. Water is not included.

But it does mean a smaller frosty bud will test higher than a larger one many times.
