Cult Classic Seeds

I just did direct sow into moist peat pellets (in a humidity dome receiving sunlight). No cleaning, no scuffing, tap water. I find the germination rates to be sufficient for a variety of crop in my case (>80%). Occasionally there will be some seeds that just do not like it at all and there will be zero germination (hot peppers, for instance, are finicky depending on the strain for some reason).

That was my first time sending samples to a lab. I do plan on making it a habit simply because I hate not "knowing" if I'm making progress.

I used a local lab (US-MA), MCR labs, and the cost is $50 for potency + $25 for terpenes. Which is reasonable to me. They use HPLC for analysis which is what you'd want if possible. HPLC can differentiate between the different cannabinoids and terpenes whereas gas chromatography, I believe, may not be as selective. Pricing between the labs do vary to a great extent and it seems to range between $50-$90 for potency, for instance. In most cases, you'll need to walk the sample into the lab since the mailing of samples would be a bit risky. So, you'd need to find a lab near you if you want to give it a try.

Here are samples of what the report might look like for HPLC analysis:

Thanks for explaining all that information on testing. Dig it. I hope its the way of the future, but also hope it gets a bit more affordable along the way.

Have you had any other strains tested? How similar/different are the results? And what is the highest THC/CBD you've had tested?

Funny, I've recently been having problems with popping in rockwool. My seedlings will sprout but then it seems like the stem withers up and the seedling dies. Maybe overwater? I keep it constantly moist with a dome

yes, that sounds like damping off which is caused by a too moist environment.

I don't use a dome anymore for seedlings, but when I did, I heard it is advised to take the dome off as soon as leaves show to avoid damping off. Also try spraying some cooled-off Chamomile Tea on the stems next time. It kills the pathogen that causes damping off

"Should" get more affordable as new technology is developed. In this case, the plants I have are pretty big so there is a lot of product relative to the expense. If I were doing breeding or micro, it would get expensive rather quickly.

First attempt for me. At the same lab, there have be others with test results for various strains in the 20-22% max THC (which means the THCa is likely around 25%). You can take a look at the results that have been made public, here: https://mcrlabs.com/tested-products/

One thing, for flowers, the level of cannabinoids vary significantly from bud to bud (maturity). For what I tested, out of two samples, the terpene quantity seemed to be relatively stable but the cannabinoid quantity varied, as expected.

I am harvesting my cult classics tonight. I received gleemonex through the bean fulfillment deal, as a replacement for Truth or consequences which had poor germ rates. It looks really potent and smells like burnt lemon jellybeans can't wait to smoke this it is some heavily resin stacked shit! 20181220_211549.jpg 20181220_205246.jpg 20181220_211021.jpg 20181220_205213.jpg 20181220_205223.jpg
feel like we should have taken clones!

Bummer man.

I grew out two Nurse Ratchet.

Both grew nicely, a bit stretchy. Stuff cured up like hay, smoked decent but not something to warrant repeating those.

Well that's not good news. :-(
I was really looking forward to that one because it's not a high CBD strain.
Right now I've got 5 'mothers little helper' going but one of them is on the verge of getting culled. It's a bummer because all seeds germinated but the plants are slow and temperamental. Got one that's totally kicking butt -- probably a male... :roll:

I have a pack I was thinking about popping at some point, but now it's going to the 'dont know what to do with it '.

You got any pictures?

I didn't get any of those.

Both were visually nice plants. They just didn't cure up worth a darn. Smoke was OK, but unremarkable.
