If anyone out there is interested in getting your stuff tested, Know Your Grow has a mobile lab and will actually come to you if you want. Or you can go to them. Below is the AK I grew that they tested for a review in ReLeaf (page 10)

They'll also be at the RICC/R.I.C.H. Budz picnic in Aug and will have the mobile lab.

I'll be calling them in two weeks. As long as his price is not too high ill meet with this Jamie dude. I'm not gonna have him come to the crib but ill definetly meet him where ever. Gonna see what he can test for. I looking for thc percentages but if I can get more info too it will be neat. Plus tga subcools strains look amazing bit he don't pit up percentages which raises an eyebrow.for me.

Yes, you can get lots more info if you want it. The stuff they test for the magazine gets reported for thc, cbd and cbn percentages.

From Jamie- "we use a GC and a GC/MS. My partner/investor has a PhD and, although I've worked with GC's since my early 20's, the guy that trained my staff up on how to test for this specific calibration is among the most knowledgeable in the world."

Hey Guys, Im Addison with Steep Hill lab here in California. I came across this thread after hearing about the Know Your Grow guys through some good friends in Rhode Island. I grew up in southern Mass., so I am forever interested when i hear as to how the cannabis movement is progressing in those areas. At Steep Hill we are always stoked to see new ways of bringing testing to patients and when I heard that the program incorporated a mobile testing unit I had to see if I could ask a few questions (I know, I'm a nosy Mass-hole, anyhow). Are they using thin layer, gas, liquid chromatography? What type of accuracy do they guarantee? Let me know. I would be interested in speaking with them and see how the patients have welcomed the service. I wish them the best and hopefully hear back soon..

Have they seen any high CBD strains? How many samples have been seen? What is the average THC percentage that they see from day to day? I wonder how the numbers vary from California to RI? Ive got a million questions...

Come to the picnic saturday and talk to them. (see post in RI section) They've tested hundreds and a good grower with good genetics rocks it regardless of what coast he/she is on :D

I know up on Harrys farm in Maine this weekend at the Green Love Fest they tested a bunch, if you have a f/b account, I'll link you to the pics and test results. Here was the big hitter of the weekend......I think there was also an oil at 43%


Brain Cheese Hash
THC: 52.6816%
CBD: 1.7890%
CBN: 3.1414 %
KYG ID: 00479

Part One:
This is my first experience with this place, I headed here to drop off 2 samples, I was greeted and the guy who was helping me out was pretty nice. "How much does it cost per sample?" I asked $70 each so I said OK and we went on with the testing Not a moment later I was told "man you should just go to one of the stores for a 10pack of our testing packs for $150. The price of testing is going up."A little enraged for a moment, i said f-- it and proceed with the 2 samples anyway. lets talk handling procedures first, not a pair of chop sticks,tongs or gloves while handling my medicine (note the oils from your hands degridate THC and I'm sarcastically sure this doesn't effect the over all sample data, soon after its time to take pictures, so this "Lab Tech," cant get my bud to stand up write for the photo so he takes, with out hesitation as if its common practice, the black Swing-line stapler turns it on its side looks at me and and says "there is usually and stand here, i don't know where its at." and continues to take the photos utilizing the stapler as a base.


Part 2:
I ask how long it would be and I was told wed. I dropped off the samples on Monday. I called them today (Thursday) and when i asked what the deal was I was told " well my priorities changed so i didn't get to the testing. But maybe tomorrow fist thing or Saturday, um well by Monday at the latest.". Really!!!!? A week for 2 samples. Where do I start first with this place? First off if your running any kind of business your paying customers come first epically ones who are relied upon to provide quality medicine to people who need it! Second when you over promise and under deliver you loose what little credibility you have, epically when it relates to a first impression of your business. I was really hoping this place was going to do it for me and by "it" I mean just simply provide a reliable service that should be held with high regard because of the extent to which this data and service that comes along with it is crucial, not only for the patients benefit but for our industry as a whole. YOUR RUNNING A "LAB," but from the first impression its seams to me that this specific location in Providence RI, needs.....how can i say this.....to take a serious look at yourselves as employees or owners or founders of this place and ask the question "Can we, do better?" The answer should be abundantly clear. Needless to say, I'm going to say it anyway, I will not be returning to this place, and they have lost a customer.
