Quantum Kush 38% THC?

Was this testing done on a gas chromatograph or liquid chromatograph?

The GC will decarboxylate acetates, where the LC will allow acetates to be quantified.

Where is the pics of the lab results from the flower?

I doubt anything will test over 30% using GC. LC I'm pretty sure GG#4 has tested over 30 as well as a few other cuts. Quantum Kush probably does hit over 30 with a LC. Just wonder how much hunting is necessary. I'm pretty sure Sub's new lines come from Odie and those other guys and they might have a different breeding philosophy.

Just gonna add 2 cents about the sap stuff on the buds. I encountered that last winter on a couple plants, so obviously I grow some super dank buds right.... Well it very absolutely is not resin!! I did not vape or smoke any, I had the sense enough to do a flame test on some first, and some REAL research. The substance is in fact basically sap. It is a high sugar content good that starts out almost watery, and then thickens and hardens the longer it is exposed to air(just like tree sap).

It seems through my research that this sap occurs because of a difference in the vapor preasure of the environment and the root zone. Basically the plant develops preasure inside its system, and has to relieve it some how which is does via the sap. There is much more technical information on it out there. But as this thread is kinda a joke I wasn't gonna start looking it all up again.

Well, i'm not a scientist and i don't really give a shit about THC levels. I've smoked stuff with a 20%+ label on which simply didn't do the trick. But reading this thread gives me a headache. I was under the impression that the THC labels from the breeders meant the percentage of active THC OUT OF ALL available cannabinoids. Following this thought, if doesn't really matter how much cannabinoids have been produced by the plant. Just to have a few numbers (not necessarily realistic):
If the plant produces 3g of cannabinoids per 10g of bud and the THC levels you get advertised are lets say 33%, then you have 1g of THC and 2g of other cannabinoids like CBD or whatever else there is.

However. If the plant only produces 1g per 10g of bud then with a THC level of 33% you only get .33g of THC. The calculation is still accurate but the bud will definately be weaker. The breeder didn't lie about the THC levels but at the end of the day it DOESN'T REALLY tell you anything about the overall quality of the bud. It is only important if you for examplke have to figure out the right strain and dose for a cancer treatment i guess. If you want to get stoned, give it a go and figure it out yourself. THC levels on bags are crap in my opinion. (i hope this makes any sense, it is not easy to explain this in english)

Growing techniques and nutrients can certainly have an influence (who hasn't produced a complete fuckup) but i would think that breeders have a pretty good idea of how to grow so i think the difference is more in the labs and methods / viewpoints.

Didn't you hear, hes using advanced nutrients and humboldt snow storm.
Lol, while there is many ways to skin a cat, (please dont skin cats, they are pretty sweet and that is cruel) that is a stupidly expensive way to do it.

My goals have always been to understand a subject, and how it works. Cannabis is the subject, and there is plenty of fucking information on botany. Growing cannabis, there is no special technique that hasn't already been discussed in either cannabis cultivation or commercial non cannabis farming that is "gonna make your buds more frosty". No, having a healthy plant, the damn genetics will do the work for you. Simply learn how to read your plants, understand the process of how a plant works, and learn the basic nutrient needs, and you too can grow amazing bud.

Now hand me over $45 so I can sell you this amazing 4 FL OZ bottle of mostly water but 0.3% of my special formula and you can get SUPER FROST!
