If talking percentages, only percentages of active ingredients makes sense. The second someone says a percentage of plant weight is a particular active ingredient, they are bullshitting you. Lots of con artists operating in every walk of life, don't expect the weed scene to be any different

From what I learned it is very hard to get over 30%. No matter how close the bud is trimmed and manicured there is always plant matter within the bud that make it hard to get over 30%. Now the THC extract (chemically) would be a different story. That should be a wild ride. Has anyone played with pure THC extract?

There are all to many con artists in the cannabis world. People selling Mexican brick as 'kush'. I'd say 90% of the real world dealers sell bullshit as they bought bullshit. Over priced and over hyped.

....and soon we will have plants registering in at 38%....42% ...51%.. 55% ..62% ..etc etc ...then they will realize they were registering it all wrong (lol)

The RB 26 test is posted in the GG#4 thread.

The lab was probably measuring THC-a, not THC. THC-a numbers are higher, really because it is a heavier molecule due to the attached CO2-moiety that is present pre-decarboxylation.

I've seen a validated test sample at 32.1% THC-a, so approaching 33% is not out of the realm of possibility.

Chimera, are you saying that you believe a third of plant weight can be pure THC?

I wonder if the resin head is the most dense part of the flower? It's not spongy cellular material as the rest of the plant.

If you read above carefully, you'll see I said that 32.1% of a sample was THC-a, not THC. That's an expression of the dry-weight of the trimmed flower, not the total weight of a plant. :bashhead:

% of THC Total = % of THC + (% of THCA x 0,877).

The 0.877 comes from the formula of
Molecular weight of THC/ Molecular weight of THC-a

Therefor a 32.1% THC-a sample would be (32.1% x 0.877) = 28.1517% potential THC-maximum post decarboxylation.

Yes, it seems incredible for a plant to produce a specific compound in almost 1/3 of the mass of the flower, but it is possible.

i've seen plants hit about 30%, once was watching someone operate the tests when it came back about 31%, i told them to go get another sample and test it again, the second and third tests came back about 29% so its legit on some of them, but the herb tasted like you where smoking hash, i think in a lot of other strains you may be getting similar total percentages but you have a larger chunk of it being terpenes then just thc

There is an ADUB cut that was the first documented plant over 30%. It was 32+%. It had great potency but no flavor.

I lost that cut to broad mites but have some Chem D x ADUB(reversed) and Pure Kush x ADUB plants at 5 weeks flower today. They are super triched.

Wow, when you consider just how many compounds are being produced, then factor in leaf and twig ( the cleanest buds have both), yeah that does surprise me.
