Does anyone get their ladies tested? If so how often? Do you only get ladies tested that were from seed? Where do you get it tested. I've be n waiting for 8 days now.

No. There are several testing labs in my region. I finished five plants from seed and sent three for testing. They test potency and different cannabinoids. After this I doubt I'll go to my usual dispensary ever again.

These are the guys I trust,$55 for a potency and terpene profile,at least that's what it was last year.

Psi labs, what a joke. Some one on here a year or so ago did a test with them. Said grower took one big top cola, dried, cured, then cut into 3 samples. 1 sent in 1 week, then next sample sent in thenbext, and then the 3rd was sent in. ALL came back with a 10% fluctuation in thc %. Imo testing facilities are only good for testing for pesticides, mold/mildew and the like. Numbers are just that a number. Thc effects everyone different. A lower thc% can have a stronger effect on a higher thc% for another smoker.
If you want something tested, send it to me, I'll tell you if it's good or not.

I'm just and to do some garden work. I'll see if I can dig it up in a few hrs. The results were from 18% to 25% variance, from the same.f n cola. Lol

I've had a few tests done there and gotten consistent results with what I thought they should be. I even got a cut from someone that had been tested at Iron labs for potency,I sent it into PSI for potency and terpenes and it came back with consistent numbers to Iron labs but slightly lower.

That thread seem to bash Iron labs and say good things about PSI.

PSI tested a new strain I had and the results seemed low to me so I questioned them about it,they retested it for me free of charge and the results came back real close to the first test.

He doesn't say which lab but the thread is about Iron labs.

I've always been skeptical of these real high testing numbers from labs (seen 32% posted before for GG#4) and I brought this up to Ben and Lev when I met them the first time I went to PSI. Ben basically agreed with me and told me labs get pressure from dispensaries to give higher test result numbers,better for their dispensary business. The results that I've gotten from PSI have always been lower than numbers from other labs and very consistent.

Saw Ben today,dropped off a sample to be tested. He said PSI would be the main testing lab for the HT cup next month. He told me about the Iron labs fiasco last year at the cup,sounds like they are not in HT's good graces. Price went up $5 from last year for a Terpene profile so for a combined Cannabinoid & Terpene profile it costs $60 and needs a 1.5 gram sample.

I could have swore Ben told me that PSI did all the testing for the cup last year.

It was split between PSI and Iron Labs. Iron Labs reported mold on a lot of samples but PSI couldn't find it. High Times wrote a article about it explaining the situation.
