Hello All,
I have been getting my strains tested at Iron Labs and thought it would be a good idea to keep them all in one place so I started this thread. It seems there is some controversy about getting strains tested and how important it truly is, so I thought this could be a good place to have this discussion.
So far, I have learned a couple things that helped me improve my methods.
The first test I had done reveled a small amount of Mold in the sample and the second test showed a lot of damaged trichs.. After discussing the first test with the lab tech I determined that i had put it into the jars about 1 day early and didn't burp the jars as much as I should have. Both tests just reminded me of things I already knew but complacency had set in and I needed a wake up call.
Im hoping this thread can be a place to share what we learn from testing and also to discuss the politics of testing. I myself do not have strong feelings about the necessity of having strains tested for health reasons but do feel a lot can be learned from it.
So, anyone who wants to post up reports or just share their feelings or experiences about testing can feel free to do so. I only ask that we don't kill each other for having different opinions about it.
The guys at Iron Labs are very helpful and willing to discuss the results with you, give pointers to help you, and the test results don't seem to be artificially inflated.
So far, my experience with Iron Labs has been very positive and i plan to keep working with them, getting all my strains tested.
