Hello
so this post got me banned from 2 other forms. 700 hate messages. 4 death threats and an offer to fly to northern BC to fight a guy .I am hoping we can do better here.( read into that what you will :)
I would appreciate some ground rules. :
- no emojis
- no name calling
- no indirect name calling by negative comparisons ( ie my dog is smarter than you)
- please post references so we can discuss. Not everyone will be completely familiar with all the terms relating to testing such as hplc ( high pressure liquid chromatography) or the parts of the plants that contain thc such as trichomes.
ok , here is my first question to be explained:
if 100 grams of weed is rated at 20% thc then that should mean 20g thc
but the most resin (trichomes ) I have ever harvested or heard of anyone harvesting
is around 15 % ( my observations have been 10 to 15% trichomes back from seiving or ice water crystal extraction. I have never read of any higher) .
I know that the thc needs to be decarboxylted? to turn the thca to thc .
let's assume that 100 % of all thc analogues are converted successfully for sake of math .
where does the 20grams of thc come from if the trichomes that produce them ( in the head cell according R Clark in Marijuanna Botony ) when those trichomes are NOT 100% thc .they also contain terpenes and calcium carbonate.
the common belief math is
100 grams weed at 20% thc should be 20 grams of thc ,
so where does the 20 grams of thc come from if trichomes are 15% max ? how can that be ? it can't.
the mistake is NO ONE POSTS THE PROCEDURE FOR TAKING SAMPLES FOR HPLC. IT REQUIRES THE SAMPLE TO BE PROCESSED TO REMOVE LEAF AND THE TRICHOMES SEPERATED AND DISSOLVED IN LAB GRADE METHANOL.
The THC content is rated based on the extracted trichomes NOT the weed
it's the trichome that is 20% THC NOT the leaf matter .
so the actual math is :
100 gram weed rated at 20% thc
contains 15% of trichomes that produce the thc as well as terpenes and calcium carbonate. the thc level is 20%
the actual math is .
100 grams weed at thc 20%
15 gram trichomes at 20% thc
100x 0.15 = 15 grams x 20% = 3gram thc
5here is 3 gram thc in 100 gram weed which makes weed 3% thc NOT 20 % .
it is a misrepresentation based on no disclosure of testing procedure .
bottom line..weed is 3% at best thc NOT 20%
how could you get 20grams of thc out of 15 grams trichomes.?
that would contravene the law of physics and the law of CONSERVATION of mass and ENERGY .
let the games begin but try to be polite please:)
