THC content-does this sound right?

i recently heard this is a way to test THC content. it makes sense but the math i did came out with a really high number.


using a buzznn bee honey extractor, new filter and 5 times filtered Vector butane.
20 grams of BONE DRY herb
herb was washed with butane, butane was allowed to evaporate for 24 hours in a warm dry room.
4.3 grams of honey.

4.3 divided by 20 = 21 1/2%


this # is said to acutally be low because all the thc is not fully washed away.

the butane was tested by spraying into a clean bowl by itself and left to evaporate. full evaporation leaving NO film or residue. filter was new. resembles brown paper bag material so only fully burst trichromes pass thru.
weight starting with stems. stems were removed after weighing.

does this sound right?

Hmmm can't say that I know much abot oil extraction or THC count but isn't there some other residue left on there or other substances like CBD's for instance? other than that it's the most precise ive heard someone come to explain THC count, kudos! lol

aaaaahhh those cbd's. never even thought of that. i figure with all the scientist (lol, please don't hit me) on this site someone might have some LEGENDARY way to get a good estimate.:peace: :peace: :mrgreen:

That sounds BUNK to me, dividing by how many ounces you used. as this oil isnt just all thc, there are other butane soluable substances in the plant matter.

From what i understand the only way to find out is a lab, and an expensive process.

i work in the wine industry. they all have labs in the wineries to test sugar levels and alcohol content and nitrates and ..... maybe i can make some new friends?

Yeah, i think it was Vote that has a friend test his buds, i might be mistaken though. maybe it was knowm, i forget.

I stand somewhat corrected as this method still is not very accurate, but much better than nothing.. i like the second post from that link.. SMOKE IT :D

I just came up with an AMAZING way to measure THC content... I pack a bud in my bowl, fire it up, take a couple tokes....If I get high...GOOD 2 GO! Sorry couldnt resist...that whole pi times x squared is too much for me lmao!

I think this is definitly the favored method we ALL use :D

i've just got nothing left to figure out. i think i've learned it all. guess i just kick it and lend a hand.lol

[SIZE=-1]Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry Is the only process that accurately reveals the Amount of THC, CBD, & CBN in your grass... Good theory though. It had me wondering...

i think it could give a good comparative of several strains. you might not know the exact content but you can surely grade them.


those damn machines aren't cheap either. :evil:


i've recently seen test kits you can order online. i haven't heard any reviews yet.

[SIZE=+3]Information about the Kit [/SIZE] The cannabinoid detection Kit™ is a (phytochemistry-) mini-laboratory, specially designed for home-use, that means its easy to use and no scientific background is required. A straight forward, hands-on inquiry-based accessible, 7-stap protocol will help you to fast and reliable results and for all… to new knowledge about the connection between the cannabinol composition and the effect of your favorite corresponding marijuana sample. The Kit brings you into the cannabinoid-world.
The kit is a mini-laboratory that contains a simple, valid, quick and inexpensive analytical technique, the so called Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC) technique. This technique, in combination with a new and unique developing and detection protocol, resulted in a fingerprint & THC test kit that selectively isolate and visualize only the cannabinoids out of the hundreds of other compounds present in a minimal amount of cannabis oil. (see fig.1)
The Kit makes it possible to extract the cannabinoid oils with a solvent, and separate the individual cannabinoids on a thin layer of silica gel coated-glass plate. After coloration, the cannabinoids will be visualized in different techno-colored spots. THC for instance, the neuropharmacologic and main psychoactive principal in cannabis will be displayed as an isolated wine-red spot. The width of the spot and the intensity are measured for the concentration.
The kit is special designed for home use, that means in the first place that no chemistry background is required for proper performance of the tests. Secondly, the kit is a small ‘’easy to handle’’ analytical tool that uses minimal amounts of reagents and marihuana samples. This makes monitoring of one plant during it’s flowering period, possible.

The THC-test Kit will replace the need for very expensive and time consuming commercially available tests in commercial laboratories. Qualitative en quantitative control and knowledge of ‘’what you are using’’ is a necessity for anyone who’s using marijuana on the base of prescription by physician or using marihuana for recreational use, were high THC levels (+ a favorite and personal fingerprint) in the samples is required.
The Kit is specially designed for home-use.
It enables the user for the first time in history to do their own research on the qualitative and quantitative aspects of cannabis. No chemistry background is required!
The Cannabinoid-detection kit™ or THC-detection and quantification Kit provides you an excellent and cheap way to investigate your own marijuana samples (varieties) and determine the cannabis chemo-fingerprint and the amount of the main (neuro-) pharmacologic & psychoactive principle THC (%-age THC) in your sample, routinely, fast and in full color!
Due to the overwhelming and still increasing number of people around the world who’s using Cannabis, for recreational, medicinal or palliative purposes under uncontrolled conditions, it is of primary interest to everyone to have access to information about the quantitative & qualitative aspects of the cannabis used.
The kit will provide this information by testing the concentration of the main psychoactive compound THC in the marihuana samples used, together with information of the more important working behavior of the combinatorial effects of CBD and CBN on THC and many other cannabinoids, as listed in table1.
The kit utilizes a highly specific and sensitive assay for the direct qualitative and quantitative measurement of the cannabinoids THC, CBD, CBN, THV and over 15 other cannabinoids in a sample of marihuana or hashish.

Main objective of the Kit: product information about the qualitative and quantitative aspects of the cannabinoids THC, THV, CBD, CBN, CBG, CBC and their corresponding acids, in all Cannabis varieties.
The Kit provides everyone with an excellent way to gain insight into de cannabinoid chemistry and the complex working-manner of marihuana or hashish. In an easy and fast way.
Recreational users, using Cannabis as drug for mind-expanding, relaxation or as activity enhancer, for joy, ‘’High’’ or for psychic comfort, etc.. as well as patients, using Cannabis as a prescription drug for clinical indications by physicians, can have now access to a proper analytical tool specially designed for home use, to control and check the quality of their Cannabis purchased from the suppliers or ‘’care takers’’.




that help any?

yeah its $249 for 25 test and $420 for 50 test but you could make that back in 2 false advertisment lawsuits from some of those clubs selling those strains 30+% in thc. (ive heard of a bunch of bogus claims like that)
