There are some strong arguments that weed over 30% is even a unicorn.
I would tend to agree that it could be a unicorn.

If we kinda think about it, that's a pretty damn high percentage!

I guess it's probably time I really need to go ahead and break down and buy some sort of tester. I still think that terpenes matter quite a bit in using it as a medicinal plant to treat something specific.

But the big thing that would be most important to me is so I can dose uniformly with my oils and concentrates.
 


I found this video a bit amusing this morning. I knew at one time that Eminem hired Samoans as his security, but I didn't know their name of their gang.
The name of their gang is quite amusing, but seemingly very appropriate.
They mention the Booyah Tribe as being his bodyguards.

Booyah! is what we'd yell when someone got a good 'hit' on someone during a fight!

Since I'm very sure that we were saying that quite a few decades before this group adopted this as their tribal name, you know it has to be linked, given the context we were using it and no one wanting to mess with the Booyah Tribe.

These fuggers named themselves after a sh*ttalking phrase that we used in the 60's! :hump: :hump: :hump:

The most advanced and current seems to be the Purpl Pro! 2grand!
 
As much as ive read 30-35% is the genetic maximum potential

The problem with this statement is there is no one standardized method of testing potency. Some methods use heat, which can decarboxylate the material.

There is no standard for how the material is picked for testing. Further, buds on the same plant, the same branch even, will all test out differently to each other, regardless of testing method.

Even further, commercial testing allows for labs to cover a certain amount of weight for the batch. So one single test can account for a massive batch (in terms of quantity.) So that makes a desirable test important, because it covers your "claim" for that batch.

Then lab shopping is a thing. Don't like the results of Lab A? Try Lab B! Laboratories aren't the defenders of justice or truth either, they just fulfill the service. Some labs are known for giving skewed results to retain customers, etc.

You can also doctor samples very easily; they are typically ground up for testing. So adding kief, for example, can change your numbers pretty easily and no one would be the wiser.

Testing is better than nothing, but it's a far cry from some gospel that actually dictates what the reality is. If anything, it's better for recognizing the potential of the plant, but that still requires some honesty and understanding for those numbers to even be relative.
 
The average potency of Colorado's flower market was around 20% the last time I checked (based on information provided by the state and MED.)

Photoperiod, clone-only genetics.

And yet people talk shit about genetics that test in single digits or the teens.

That's why marketing is dangerous, because it sells products but it doesn't mean its actually factual.
