If THC percentage is that important just stick with making hash....although high THC rates are nice the plants more of a elegant wine....where as hash is some Johnny Walker.....lol
Highest THC Content?

Honestly, IMO, the difference between 22% THC and 24% THC or whatever is pretty meaningless for anything but a 'pissing contest'. The overall affects vary greatly depending on the total Cannabinoid profile.
I love hash, and would refer to flowers as beer (or wine), and hash as booze, not to degrade either because it is all about quality for both. Great flowers are great, Great hash is great. And like he just said; if it ain't strong enough, then smoke bubble.
Actually 12% is the potency a first time grower who at least pays attention to ph, nutrient strength ,and adheres to a strict lighting schedule can expect to from white widow seeds from GHS as it is a moderate difficulty plant to grow but ever single time I have picked up white widow from a grower of expert or better skills its more in the 15-18% range. I have noticed that ghs lists there potency's based on what the lowest potency plant will produce in any successful grow because I have seen people pick up Great white shark which is supposed to be around 14% thc and grow it into bud that is well over 20% total 1 toke dope, its possible they may have just gotten a seed which provided a plant of exceptional genetics but I see it happen way to often, Another example is in my current grow I have a clone of hollands hope wich is supposed to be only a 12%thc strain and the test bud I took which was about 3 weeks early is already well over 12%. So thc listings are bunk they are only a rough estimate of what the plant will produce in the average home growers setup the better your grow enviroment ,nute quality and overall skills at reading exactly what the plant needs and the higher your potency gets
Well I would check into world of seed landrace collection they are offering up pure unmodified genetics from around the world and most are being shown as have thc % betweeen 18-24% and from everything I have ever read concerning the history of cannabis the original pure strain landraces were the most potent but not the most flavourfull or high yielding most of our breeding has been using these genetics to provide potency when crossed into a strain of higher yield but lower potency, so I feel its possible to get strains that produce bud that is 24% or higher but dont expect much more then 30-50g per plant grown in a standard 30day veg .

So you have the ability to test your THC percentages?
Also, I am pretty sure that the strain can't have varying potency...especially clones. I dont know how you have come to these conclusions, but I dont agree with your line of thinking.
I agree that the %'s are quite imperfect, but...thinking you can change the potency by growing methods is taking even further liberties with the way things are.
This thread is way old. For anyone still interested if any of you were to test your buds that are supposedly 25% you would find you are very wrong. For Cannabis structure the very highest thc content could be is about 25%. If someone claims higher they are mistaken or lying. Contact Steep Hill Labs and ask them what the highest % they have seen on any flower is. When you walk into a club that has actually had their buds tested the dankest OG Kush you have ever seen in your life will still only be somewhere like 17%.

I know what you are talking about. I had that back in like 1999 or 2000 (last time I saw it). I was out of the UW lab where they grow medical for cancer patients. It was off-the chain. The flowers looked like small cherry tomatoes and had purple and red hairs.

i dont always buy my seeds based on the thc but they normally have a high content anyway, white berry 15-18%, motavation ?, blue cheese 18%. i like a bit of flavour in my smoke ut any of these strains will get you stoned, but not too couchlocked. the motavation is a gorgeous smoke and i never did find out what the thc level was.
dont really uy into the thc levels written on the sites but the ones i do trust more are the ones that state min and max thc levels. ill be starting a laughing buddha and a sweet tooth grow soon (barneys). anyone grown these?
good thread though lots of good info!

i think thc content is a total scam. they never show you the numbers and data from the gas spectrometer that they allegedly use for the calculations of thc percentages

I go to the lab, they show me all the numbers (actually peaks) that I want to see, and I studied GC/MS in college. Just because you aren't privy doesn't meant that science isn't real. Steep Hill Lab is leading MMj towards self regulation. Don't hate.

whoa defensive are we? oh yea forgot that you work there and are defending your business...personally i dont care who you are.
i never said science wasnt real. but spitting out numbers without telling us your measurents is pretty flawed im not going to lie. its not like the scientists that invented pcr reactions kept the technique all to themselves. they were more than thrilled to present their findings to the scientific community for review and evaluation. imo what you guys are doing is not science.

nice. the actual #s will vary significantly depending on grow.

Uh... I don't work at any lab. That's just silly. Not science... LMAO buddy. GC/MS and HPLC is science whether you understand it or not. The labs are peer reviewed, they share numbers to check each other. Until the federal rules change that's as good as it gets. Quit hating, you just sound ignorant.

You guys should check out harborside health centers Menu. Here is the link: Cannabis Club HHC | Medical Marijuana Dispensaries In Oakland & San Jose
Lots of there buds test at their reliable lab ( steep hill laboratories) at around 20 - 25 %thc. The Hashes test at 50 - 75%thc. They have had several strains test at 30 percent thc in bud form, one strain was called sour flower. Harborside health center has 80000 members and makes about 20 millions bucks a years so they know there stuff, they are the biggest compassion club on the planet. The seed banks saying they have these high end strains are mostly lying unless they have a good reputation on forums like this one.It's unfortunate when people post misinformation about cannabis like thc content is a scam.You are just sadly misinformed, the people who use cannabis for medicine like to know how strong it is, simple. Dr. Hornby who heads Hedron Analytical said he personaly tested a sample of Northern lights #1 grown in Calgary that tested at 36.8% THC. Here is the article of Dr. hornby speaking about differnt strains he's tested. Dr. Hornby Of Advanced Nutrients | Cannabis Culture Magazine

Lol you should do some research on the topic before you comment. Sounds like pure ignorance to anyone who's actually informed. There are thousands of compassion clubs is Canada and the USA spending millions of dollars to have laboratories test their products for THC right now. They also test for CBD. Each cannabinoid has a different function CBD helps with certain diseases more than THC.

Anyways if you read up on white widow it has one of the highest THC contents. White widow is fairly a new marijuana strain and is very effective. Just try 5 different seeds strains and see which yield and smoke the best.
