Szark Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 G'day all Does anyone know how to test for the percentage of THC in a given plant. How do the cops do it? Cheers Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mind Your Head Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 Szark, You will need a 'thing' called a Mass Spectrometer; they don’t come cheep and they have very large instruction books <all you ever wanted to know ...and more> MYH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mind Your Head Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 How do the cops do it? ...hahaa In most cases they just take a guess OR they give it some student lab technician to test, he smokes the sample and makes a much more accurate guess.

Labrat Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 .... alternatively you could give a bit to me and I could get an analytical chemist to run it through a mass spec at work. Might get me fired though, so p'raps not. Better stay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can do that job sitting on my arse. Well I wouldn't be standing on my head now would eye. A mass Spectrometer does sound expensive. Cheers So when I see, say NL putting out 22% THC in optimal growing conditions,should we be weary of that figure. As we all don't keep a mass Spectrometer in your shed. While we are on the subject has anyone had the weed tested? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mind Your Head Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 Be weary of the figures. In fact don't worry about thc content. There is more to potency than thc content, much more, it's very complicated and still little understood. I am smoking sk1 a strain not known for high thc% but the ‘skunkman ' must have his reasons for working with this (err hum)‘low’ potency strain. Just smoke it That student lab techi’ is definitely on to something If anyone wants there weed tested by an aficionado of the technique, p.m. me.
