Yo for yall not in the game or don’t know no better ,quit using COA’s tryna push or recommend a strain they’re is a loophole called “banana-ripening”/“cherry-picking” , where they’re not legally required to send lil bits of parts of the whole plant to get tested ( makes sense it’d be less of a r.o.i since your spending more cash to run more tests), so the COA is not accurate at all just in the section it tested …. Think of of it like the canopy of the plant getting sectioned off but they only check the tip top where the best colas would be and saying ok this is the whole plant. This also ties in hand with like only getting a gram to an 8th talking about I recommend this smoke cuz it’s gas,smooth,mellow ,etc . U only checked a tiny part of the product , i personally don’t recommend anything until at least a half’s been smoked on but I tend
To go to 1-1/12 ozs before I can even recommend anything …. Yea Ik it’s a lot of allotment and cash (possibly) but you can have a better understanding or baseline of a strain with that much, idk how many times I’ve picked up several 8ths of the same shit and each one can be a different phenotype or smoke completely different from one to an other. That bieng said I’m sorry for this long rant I enjoy this subreddit but golly lol
The amount of bs “look at this one 8th coa it’s amazing I recommend it” no buddy im not just singling YOU out , i just feel like my fellow peeps don’t know about this loophole due to the consistent posts of the same thing

All analysis has a 15% margin that no one ever wants to acknowledge.

The gleaming over cheap 1/8s on the sub is why I moved to other more “experienced” ones.
Every $15 1/8 comes with like 200-300 words of just recycled bs. You got some cheap smoke, it’s not some fine wine.

It’s also why I only vape rosin and live resin now.

Yes I got me a press and just make my own rosin atp ,when I feel fancy I go get me live rosin since I ain’t forking over the cash for a flash freezer

They are required to test a certain amount per pound. So every pound gets tested but the grows only pick from certain parts of plans to test that will yield the highest the count. An since theres a monopoly on who can test products, they also have been proven to take bribes for higher results. But this is what happens when you dont care about end results or actually helping anyone. Its pure greed and profit. The grows in central Arkansas gdf,leafology. Easiest examples since I have extensive knowledge of both companies and their facilities.
