Some guy was at the farmers market at a table saying his Kosher Kush was tested at 28% THC ...Crazy Son!
lol case and point.. Spent money to get it tested, successfully misinformed population, profit??Some guy was at the farmers market at a table saying his Kosher Kush was tested at 28% THC ...Crazy Son!
Good point.. I tell my buddy all the time growers are a small percentage in the MMJ community especially the educated ones who know a thing or two.lol case and point.. Spent money to get it tested, successfully misinformed population, profit??
Why would he choose steep hill labs or a reputable company when the shitty one is gonna give his bud a higher thc % ??
SOOOOOO TRUE. people with legitimate knowledge are few and far between here... I hate feeling like the jackass when i ask something and get laughed at and then they say there isnt anymore info than strain name and thc percentage.Good point.. I tell my buddy all the time growers are a small percentage in the MMJ community especially the educated ones who know a thing or two.
And this is the sad thing. With exposure of these false tests, I believe people will start a new trend and go elsewhere.lol case and point.. Spent money to get it tested, successfully misinformed population, profit??

If the market was not already sullied with con artists, then there would be a desire for these companies. Testing is not all steep Hill does, they do Nitrogen packing as well as other services.Do you feel there are enough people wanting testing done to justify opening a testing facility in the valley?
A gram per sample tested. You are completely right about people judging. Since everyone, especially elderly people, thinks they get 20+% THC, when they get to sample mine, they think it's up in the 30s LOL. I guess people just aren't educated here.28% Kosher Kush....BS, thanks to all the testers out there.
Nobody ever mentions CBD, CBN, THCV amounts in their tests.
FYI a legit testing outfit would give all of thes values.
Growers who only care about THC only have a grasp on a portion on the entire picture.
Yeah, THC is important but in a medical world the other cannabiniods are what give marijuana the medicinal title.
Next time anybody sees a tested product ask about the other elements and then wait for the confused look to take over followed by fumbled words and a garbage excuse, "it costs more to test for those cannabiniods." LIES..
The only test these people do accurately is the smoking test.
They are probably judging THC content by this method also. So if one is smoking AZ crap all day and rating it 20% the chronic instantly would be 20%+.
I have yet to see a test from these places under 18%.
Damn, i just realized, AZ must have the best growers in the country. (sarcasm)
Just curious, does anybody know the minimum weight needed for testing from these outfits?
I was warned about this guy (AZ Med Labs) being a scam artist. The first samples I brought him came back with unusually high numbers. A couple harvests later I brought him a sample, then had my growing partner bring him a sample of the exact same strain, from the exact same curing jar, 4 days later. He purposely changed the name of the strain sample to guarantee anonymity.
Test results came back apple / oranges. I no longer have the reports but the thc numbers were like 24% on one sample and 17.5 on the other sample. CBD numbers had a similar discrepancy.
It's a shame such a scam artist is allowed to take advantage of those of us trying to do the right thing. When I confronted him he became extremely irate, threatening me. This was almost 2 years ago. I have well over a decade of experience stemming back to Colorado. I've heard similar stories on other forums about Steve at AZ Med Testing. First time I read his report sheet I found numerous simple words misspelled. I informed him about it and his wife responded jokingly and said she would make the corrections. The next (and final) time I gave them some of our high grade buds and $50 cash, I received the apple/oranges confirmation that this guy was just smoking the samples and probably laughing at those of us who, at the time, were ignorant enough to give him free bud and drinking money.
What a leach. I'm sure the dispensaries love this scam artist. I've seen the "quality" of bud the dispensaries here in Arizona are offering, with advertised numbers in the 20's. BS. This was nothing but "B" grade, dry crap, maybe low teens if that. And at $50 - $60 an eight.
Somebody please let me know when a reputable lab set's up shop in Arizona. As stated above, I doubt there are enough Caregivers that would demand a REAL, honest testing lab. The dispensaries must love the false results this scam artist Steve at AZ Med Testing provides them. The greedy dispensary owners and Steve are on the same scumbag level.
dude fuck them my wax test at 98% and they spelled compound compund. steve said i altered the test and they didnt do it when MATT RIZE saw my results called bullshit told the owner of steep hill lab which i think is the parent company and he called steve, and then steve then said abunch of bullshit about how the test was altered to make him self not look fucking retarded. he then refunded my friend hundreds of dollars for every sample he got tested.
and he is still putting out false numbers he owes everyone money. ill try and find the part in SR. Verdes concentrate corner where MATT RIZE first called bullshit on my test and i defended it like a retard haha
Ok So I have been checking up on these guys. I went to the lab and talked to them . Come to find out they are the first lab in state testing cannabis. (So this is probably why people bash them), then talking to their scientist Brenda who also tests all sorts of stuff for an environmental lab located next to their lab I found out that her calibration methods are pretty in depth and very complex. They have a pretty advanced lab also, Brenda asked me to tell you all .They want eveyone to come in and talk to them if you have questions.I have heard mixed reviews about this company, can anyone chime in with personal experience.
The one experience that I have had is someone was showing me some buds and were telling me they got tested @ 21%.
I will be the first to admit bag appeal should not be the judge but no way this was 21%.
IMO something seems strange but please correct me or offer some reinforcement...
They hate that lady I asked them if they are related to her ? Steve all but came unglued, He said they tried to support her at the begining to show unity amongst the industry. Once she turned on patient care and got greedy they stepped away from her.They are too closely aligned with that Ingrid lady for me to ever really take them seriously.
Calling any one of them a scientist is a joke. They are BS scam artists nothing more but cheep propaganda, and BS labels.I found out that her calibration methods are pretty in depth and very complex.
