Delta 9 Thc % should be tied to a cultivars production standards. It has no bearing on anything else. Hydroponic is always higher in d9, it's an easy metabolite to synth. No oils or sugars competing in relative weight. Almost as if it goes straight from hexanoic to d9thc without all the frills of flavor, entourage, complexity or flat out potent microcannabinoids. But is hydro more potent? It's a stupid argument. The government were the first to claim Commercial Cookies is more potent than Swazi Gold. Why do potheads believe such tales? I must be the only one growing Swazi..
Several year ago, I took 5 different strains from two different runs and went to the lab. I bought the $49 test vs the $79 test because I didn't need the full spectrum.
All 5 came back at 19.9 THC....
What a coincidence
