Wrong it is correct that manicured dry weight can be over 20% THC. I have extract similar amounts of pure THC from dry plants.

Thanks.
I appreciate being corrected when it is done politely.

I am again calling bullshit on THC percentages. THC is only found in the resin glands. Some of my strains are 100% covered in trichomes. If I was to disolve a 100grams of 20% THC weed in Iso and extract oil, I wouldn't come near 20 grams, maybe 8-9 grams on a good run. This tells me there is NO WAY 20% of the bud is THC. Now, if we are counting the amount of THC in a trichome how does that weigh in on the fluxuation of different strains and there trichome saturation? Either way I disagree with THC percentages and think they are just a tool for marketing hype with breeders/dispensaries. The only true test is the smoke test!
Hmmm...maybe we can respectfully disagree on terminology, but I think we will find that the results of a sample at the detector can only provide results in terms of comparing the known Volume of the sample with the Volume of the individual analytes.Not by volume but by dry weight.
That just seems not needed, no one cares how old you are.Smoking leaves and stems can indeed get you high, and very high in some instances.
Some of us have been smoking leaves for longer than some of you have been shitting solid.
Speaking of foul mouth... you are taking the cake.You know, I love it when a controversial issue arises and the shit starts to sling due to some of the debaters have their heads up their asses and have nothing to bring to the table but their own take on things. They think about how thing are or should be in their own little logical world, and then proceed to champion their ideas as if they had some sort of merit. Almost as if they had a fucking clue.
Then to top it off, some of these losers want to send out nasty rep and PM's telling other members how fucking stupid they are...dipshits and the like...you know the drill with these foul mouthed assholes.....
Thanks mang, we may both be rude at times, but the truth is the truth.Thomkal Vwalaa seems to have some exposure to labs and actually is telling it pretty straight here. He and myself have had some pretty heated exchanges on other issues, but on this one he is fairly much spot on.
700!!!! Lawd a mercy!As far as detectable cannabinoids are concerned, I think you will find through some research that there are now over 700 different cannabinoids in a typical cannabis plant.
Ask SamSk about that one.....
Not by volume but by dry weight.
This means first you desiccate the sample down to almost zero moisture. Then you weigh it, regardless if it is .1 gram or 10 grams, regardless if it is manicured or not. Each lab has its own protocol, some are measuring manicured, (what people really smoke) some are measuring un-manicured, the whole plant leaves and all. It is just a matter of what you want to test. Normally no one tests including stems, but you could.
Second sonicate the sample in your choice of solvents.
Third measure a small amount to be injected into the GC.
Fourth, the results. I have seen up-to over 29% THC by dry weight for manicured buds. Over 70 % THC for dry sift resin, Over 50% THC is easy for any real good bubble hash. Solvent extractions can top 90% THC.
-SamS
Sonication is the act of applying sound (usually ultrasound) energy to agitate particles in a sample, for various purposes. In the laboratory, it is usually applied using an ultrasonic bath or an ultrasonic probe, colloquially known as a sonicator. In a paper machine, an ultrasonic foil can distribute cellulose fibres more uniformly and strengthen the paper.
lol, that's what i said.Wrong.
-SamS
cracking me up here.You are right, you are not a scientist.
-SamS
exactly why CO is considering these tests to be mandatory for all MMJ.Have you used better solvents or sonication? Unless you have you are throwing away THC with the spent plant materials.
The only true test is smoking? How does that reveal the Cannabinoid %'s?
-SamS
SS confirms the accuracy reported by steep hill labs, as i mentioned earlier.Do you have lab training at sample preparation? Is the lab reliable?
I can run 10 samples of the identical bud and all are within .5% of each other. I have done it many times even with unlabeled samples that were unknown by me until after the lab work.
-SamS
Yeah, over 20% by weight is common for certain varieties, which is 100% thanks to the breeders such as mr skunkman.Wrong it is correct that manicured dry weight can be over 20% THC. I have extract similar amounts of pure THC from dry plants.
-SamS
No problem, I was asked to post what I thought was correct, so I did.
But to be honest what does it all mean?
For example, Skunk #1 is about 8% THC for a whole plant, 16%+ THC for manicured buds but many smokers report it seems stronger then other varieties with over 20% THC for manicured buds. And as I have reported many times 100% pure THC does not get you as high as 50-60% THC dry sift resin. So while important, THC is just part of the picture, for sure.
-SamS
seriously, many people do smoke leaves, and stems sometimes too, they are called midwesterners, lol.
You breed some killer strains in the 80's and early 90's but with all do respect your not a scientist either. Further more I dont really even think the scientist know much about this matter. They didnt even know why marijuana got you high untill 20 years ago. How does the smoke test tell you about cbd and cbn ratios? Well if the high is all in the head strain probly high in thc. If the high is in the body strain is probly high in cbd or cbn.You are right, you are not a scientist.

Hey Now,
After I smoked my first joint, I must have hit the water fountain 5-6 times. The man that rolled it said:"when their throat is dry you know their high."
It's all good- when they start telling you the THC content on the label you will know the 'good old days are gone for good."
Have you actually done terpenoid analysis using just TLC? I never have. Terpenoid standards are easy to get and not controlled, and they are cheap to buy.
You mentioned Cannabinoids that get you high, like THC, CBN almost gets you high, but you can forget CBD, CBC, CBG, THCV and the rest of the propyls (3 carbon] They do not get you high, although they do have medical applications. I have tried them all as pure single Cannabinoids.
CBD, CBN, THCV are THC antagonists and they do modify THC's effects, like in the case of CBD which delays THC onset, reduces peak effects and lengthens the reduced effects time of activity.
CBD is also funny in that if you smoke 100mg of pure CBD before any Cannabis smoking, you can't get high from THC for several hours, even if you smoke the strongest hash.
While if you smoke a THC/CBD mixture first thing, you do get high, like almost all imported hash, that has considerable CBD with the THC.
But the high is different then THC only varieties. I prefer high THC only, but to each their own....
It is the terpenes with high THC that makes the subjective effects.
