Interesting letter from licence togro acmpr licencing company the other day. The co. has been offering its patients free cannabis testing for thc. The results of there first round of grower submitted samples came back with not one testing over 20%. It is an eye opener…seeing as LP’s can’t move anything under 20% and even below 23% is considered blah. I don’t know test style or sample size etc. but the owner was quite surprised, as well. I know thc isn’t the whole story, but it is in the ‘new’ retail marketplace. I still have yet to smoke any flower from an LP which compares to the stone produced by home growing, and we have tried and still try many LP and first nations lp products.

yeh didn’t want to shill or anything lol. So do you think testing protocol is the same as the lp’s use? My partner (med patient) didn’t send any. Her strain isn’t a xtremely high thc pheno, but who knows. I’m sure I’ve grown 20% plus cultivars on an annual basis… just sayin’ LMAO guess I should submit something eh?

I haven’t and won’t.

I don’t care about lab readings.

That company made getting my med grow license far easier than I would have believed.

While I don’t know the methodry, I would assume that ltg would be less prone to cheating on results. I also believe ltg is trying to convert some of the licence holders to a craft licence or collective of sorts. So maybe the tester is questionable. Anyhow, LTG has thousands of licenced med growers and it does seem odd that of the submitted samples, that they were so low thc %…It leads one to believe the LP’s are sprinkling kief from the billions of grams of shwag in storage in order to achieve the 20%+ results on their packaging. I know theres much more to a good high than THC but I also know that pure extracts (hash etc.) from crappy weed will still give a crappy buzz despite being 50% thc in an extract from that weed. A lot of weed (good and bad) can have a very low ceiling, it doesn’t matter how much you consume, ya ain’t getting higher, so what is going on? I dunno but I know my probably 12% thc properly grown and cured bud beats the 23% gorilla death hump OG at the dispo in a double blind smoke test. Nothing uncommon, most everyone here has friends that agree, I’m no pro, but LP and native dispo weed is generally garbage, dry as a bone, machine tumbled and oh so tasteless. So I don’t quite grasp what the disparity is without more details, but it does make me wonder about my genetics, grow method etc. I might just do a grow this winter and send samples to a couple of test sites (along with an unpacked LP product0 just for kicks.

I worked at a LP

Let me tell you how it works: they pick the best looking plant

Then they pick the best buds on that plant

Then they trim it super close so there’s no stems and sugar leaves and stuff

AAAAND that’s the sample they send in for testing.

lol! so true.

LOL well why would you send leaf? That’s the sample everyone sends, I’m sure the guys you worked for, spiced it up before the report gets filed…Whther it be cooking the sample or just paying for questionable paperwork. Medecine wheel and others offer this service but I’m too cheap to test there packaged stuff along with mine, If they know the source, I would call shenanigans, just don’t trust their paperwork, as the rest of the LP system is corrupt as sin…

That’s good news @Mr.Sparkle, I’m really glad I mentioned that site on here.

Some awesome choices you made too.

Edit. Let me know how those auto cobras turn out. I put some in the ground too early and they died from cold and a late snow we had here😭The seeds looked quality too.
