Was that tested uncured and / or fresh? As to why the thca is so high and the thc is so low.
Decarboxylation will convert thca to thc

That doesn't make sense. The thc should be far higher and the thca lower. Or they're a shitty test facility and fudged the numbers.

Are you sure? I've had quite a few tests done and they all come back looking like the one above. Mostly THC-A. Decarboxylation doesn't really take place at room temperature. Over time some will occur, but not much (until a source of heat is used).

Decarb takes place in the cure from co2 gases that get released from the buds and increases the temp and humidity in the there
The 2 tests I had done was after a 6 week cure.. the thc came back much higher than thca. I only birp my jars once on the 2nd day. I never birp them after that. Unless I take some buds out. My jars sit there untouched for a while in 70 degree room in a cedar box
I've seen tons of tests from others where the thca is far lower. You also need to get samples tested at multiple.places to see how legit each one is and if they're all.pulling the same numbers. They almost never do.
Maybe it just takes a long cure for that to happen. Probably why a 3 months cure is recommended

Some places decarb the sample, but an unadulterated sample will always give you a higher THC-A value than THC no matter how long you cure it for. I've never seen the opposite of that.

Yep that's just how LC tests read because no heat is used during the testing like with a GC test.

So...I think it's finally okay I post in this thread!?lol Been sub'd to this thread forever and never had a chance to post any pics because I've never chucked before. First ever pollen collection coming up. Alien Bubbaberry x Hells Fire OG. Very stinky dude. Does have some frosting goin on(sorry for crappy dimlit pic). Didn't encounter a female during my pheno-hunt, but they all grew similar in structure. I lollipopped the hell out of him a few days ago. Been flipped for a week. Keep up the good work all! Your shit is still the best!!

Did you get a male bag seed from the cherry pie? I did on that same cut everyone had. It was the only seed in the plant. . I ended up trashing it because it got too big. I wasn't ready to breed yet and no one wanted it
That's a killer cross though.
