How to test THC levels. (POTENCY)

Nirvana High · #1 (**permalink**) 08-12-2009, 10:22 PM

It's been on my mind lately and trying to research online about how the process goes down and how you can do it. How to test potency of bud, there are no straight answers online that I could find. All I could find was so called true potency percentages of strains but they don't explain how they got the number. Just trying to satisfy my curiousity anybody have information or answers?

Good luck!

What about smoking a bowl pack before you pay for it, wait 15 minutes, and decide how much you want to pay? That way you don't have to pay a ton of money for shit weed, and the dealer doesn't get pissed at you for buying like a ten-sack. You tell your "guy" that you want to test it out and if it's good you'll buy the rest of the bag?

I've discussed this while shopping at MMJ clubs with the owners before. From what I understand, and I'm nowhere NEAR an expert, the machinery needed to measure the various cannabinoids and their concentration is rather pricey, but that some folks up in the San Francisco Bay Area have the equipment and are working on some sort of certification process for any grower who wants to submit their product. Don't quote me on that though, it's just what I heard.

I honestly think that whomever does start a certificate program for strains will be a millionaire overnight. But it requires scientific knowledge and capital to start up.

But imagine going into your local club and buying something that you KNOW is genuine and you can see exactly what percentages of ingredients are in it...that would be something.

Get a microscope at radioshack 60x-100x magifacation. $10-$15.
look at the weed under it. you will be able to see if it covered in crystals. or mold. or nothing at all.
Also you can tell what colour they are. Good to know sense the colours tell you what type of high your going to be getting.
