It's always good to see that it was grown without unnatural chemicals that can effect the end product. Especially if it's advertised as organically grown.the-ryanoc1995 wrote: Thu Mar 28, 2019 10:54 pm Is it important to test for Solvents / Microbials etc for buds and concentrates? I really appreciated testing in a MOM but aside from seeing THC content and the presense of harmful pesticides I'm not sure what other important things we should be looking for in testing (or is there?)
Awesome, thanks for the info! So as far as taking info away from lab tests.. is it just Pesticides and THC / CBD info that I'll mainly be taking away? I'm not sure what the other cannabinoids really do, especially when they are at such low percentages, but should I be paying attention to that to get more info on the specific batch?AimOrDie wrote: Fri Mar 29, 2019 8:59 pmIt's always good to see that it was grown without unnatural chemicals that can effect the end product.

Aside from that, they're not shown in GWs tests, but sometimes you'll see the different terpene levels on these tests, and with that information, if you knew what you were looking at you'd be able to more-less tell exactly how the weed would smell, and the effects it'd have.
I'm not sure if they could tell you if the bud was moldy, but I can only imagine that's something they could test for if the wanted to. I'm not a scientist by any means, so you'll have to find a lot of the info you're looking for through the internet if you're really interested in learning. I could never explain it as well as people who actually study the science.the-ryanoc1995 wrote: Sat Mar 30, 2019 8:51 pmAwesome, thanks for the info!

Just looking at tests, it seems like there's quite a bit of info on it, but I'm not sure what is real info, and what is fluff so to speak, however would definitely be interested in learning more how to translate as much of the info on these tests as a consumer.. or at the very least know what a more informed test looks like vs. a simple one.. like do these tests show mold as well?
I don't see too many lab tests from MOMs available but definitely appreciate when I see them.
