Is their a cheap way to test it? Maybe my buddy @Mycelium Farmer Has a test kit I'll send him a sampleThat's best case scenario from plants grown in an ideal controlled environment, so don't be surprised or disappointed if yours test lower. Of course, folks get plenty high from 15% weed as well.
COA/ results cost on average $500 for me per :/Is their a cheap way to test it? Maybe my buddy @Mycelium Farmer Has a test kit I'll send him a sample
I send mine to Anresco up in SF and they used to charge $75 for a cannabinoid test.Is their a cheap way to test it? Maybe my buddy @Mycelium Farmer Has a test kit I'll send him a sample
How much weed did they require for a proper test?
I can't recall but it wasn't enough to matter to most growers here. Check out their website and see what they say:
hopefully you don't mind to much. Love your grow buddy 
Hell yeah, I mind @StarkRaven! I couldn't get a word in!Sorry gdb about taking up a page haha
The smoke test is the best test I think your right who cares about the numbers if it does it's job. I'd just like to know how well I didHell yeah, I mind @StarkRaven! I couldn't get a word in!
I jest.
Of course I don't mind all all. It was an interesting discussion, but one that I could not take part in. I doubt that I would pay 2 cents to get a plant tested. I pretty much just smoke 'em and that's my test!
I get folks who want/need to know the specifics though.
I've seen the Anresco price list for all of that but even the terpene test was more than I wanted to spend. I just needed the CBD % on my Candida oil for dosing consistency.
Wha? How "poorly" does the drying and curing need to be (too long, too slow, too short, too wet)?
If you dry and cure in higher heat and direct sunlight (or bright light generally if outside isn't an option) the THC will break down faster than it does under our normal methods (where preserving THC is the goal). Combine that with as late a harvest as you can manage and you should end up with some serious body-lock meds.
LOL!
THC will degrade to CBN or do you need a CBD-heavy strain that degrades to CBN?
CBD doesn't degrade to CBN, only THC. No one seems to know what CBD degrades to (I've looked) but it definitely isn't CBN. Stick with THC plants if you want to produce couch-lock weed.
Sorry about Stella atleast you got your feet wet trying a outdoor grow & i'm sure next summers attempt will work out better for you, your buddys plant looks goodHello grow gang.
Well, I never spoke it but what I suspected would happen was confirmed this morning.
Stella is done. She's got bud rot everywhere.
She just couldn't survive the constant rains. I was unable to mitigate. I shook her daily, hoping to keep her relatively dry, but that effort failed miserably. The rain has been unrelenting over the past few weeks. And when it wasn't raining, for the most part, it remained cloudy -- no nice warm sun shone to assist me in keeping her dry. When I went to check on her this morning, I fully intended to bring her in the house to finish her in my 5x5 tent. Alas, I waited too long to make that move.
A disappointment yes, but this was a great learning experience!
You guys who grow outdoors are daredevils, IMO. There are so many things that can cause outdoor grows to go south!
I'm not sad. I'm more determined!
Going into this, my primary concern about growing outdoors was bugs. I found out I can handle keeping the bugs at bay. When I try my next outdoor grow I won't be nearly as concerned about them. But I'll be even more concerned about the weather!
--------------------
It seems that so many of my posts of late are not positive. I don't like that fact, but it's "truth in reporting," which I believe is important.
So let me show you a friend's plant.
I gave one of my buddies a Cap Junky seed and he grew it in his backyard. About 10 days ago, citing all the rain we were getting, he moved the plant inside to finish it in a grow tent. This is a pic he sent me yesterday.
Wish I had moved mine inside sooner!

Thanks for looking in.
PEACE
That's why we grow them so big!
