I was unable to keep my perpetual grow going at the moment because we are selling the house. So for really the first time, I've been going around to different pot shops trying theur wares. I bought a few things here and there in the past but I smoke my own stuff 99% of the time.
In Washington all the testing info. is one the package so I know the thc percentage. In the past month to six weeks I've probably purchased small amounts, eights, of 8 to ten different strains. Many of them showing thc percentages of 25% and up.
Expecting to be blown away by these high percentage thc strains, I've been pretty disappointed. Many times the buds look great, smell good, taste good, burn nice etc. But where is the potency? I don't have a real high tolerence but I can smoke much more than I usually do with my stuff and I ain't feelin' it. The high doesn't seem to last long either.
I ask the budtenders to recommend particular grower's products that they think are really good and I give those a try; not working. I'm guessing that current testing methods are not very accurate at all or my pot is just much better. The samples I buy actually look better than what I can do and many of thrm smell great but man, they don't deliver.
By the way, I consider myself to be a very average grower. Like I said, the stuff looks better than mine so I know these growers know what they are doing. The potency, from the stuff I've tried, just doesn't live up to what the high percentages would lead you to believe.
