Doc Bud's High Brix Q&A With Pictures

Some of you might remember when I entered the Cannabis Cup 2 years ago with Lemon Paki. They "lost" the results of the test, then re=tested it at 18%. LOL. EVeryone knows it's much, much better than that.

This time we got a good test.

Yes, I remember that Doc! You prolly figured it to be around 20-25 correct....but not quite as hi as 32! Another reason why I MUST have it! I will be at the front of the line when you make some FEMS of it......:grinjoint: Cheers bud! :high-five:

Total Percent THC

THCA has to be decarboxylated before it's useful and that gives off CO2, reducing its weight, so you multiply the THCA by .877, and add the other THCs to it and that's your Potential % THC.

:slide:

From High Times:

Let’s look at an example. ... Consider a made up lab result of Hypothetical OG that used LC, say it has 22.32% percent mass of THCA and 2.41% percent mass THC (active THC).

If you just look at the THCA value, you might think it has 22.32% THC. If you add the THC value to that, you might think this strain has 24.74% THC. Neither of these values is correct.

To get a real potency value you need to consider both THCA and THC, but with a correction factor for THCA before you add in THC. To calculate THCTOTAL:



THCtotal = (%THCA) x 0.877 + (%THC)



0.877 is the molecular mass (mm) of THC divided by that of THCA; this factor boils it down to a simple formula: take 87.7% of the value for THCA, then add on the value for THC. This formula also holds true for finding the active CBD content (CBDTOTAL) because CBD and THC have the exact same mm. Therefore the correct value of THCTOTAL for Hypothetical OG is 21.98%, the weighted average of THCA and THC.
 
You da man, Gray! :thumb: :thanks:
 
Doc bud high brix nug. I never did the cat drench I was way too paranoid. I'll let her go like another 9 days or so. The soil didn't even fully cook and I'm still getting great results. Thanks Doc.!!

Looks to me your plants are getting bigger over the last year or so...am i correct Doc...here's a couple pics of the Green Crack in "First Run" . There's two of em in this 26 gal pot, both were topped , LST'd and SC'd. They are 10 days post flip and just received their first Drench of Transplant W/Tea last night with 5 gal's. , distilled each pot. Just wanted all to see how healthy plants can get in this soil! Cheers gang...have an awesome night!:ganjamon:
