potency consistency??

Just wondering...

... if say the potency of a given strain turns out to be 18% from a primo top will that be relatively consistent through all the buds to the middle and bottom popcorn?

Same potency, except the buds that get closest exposure tend to get frostier with THC... but it's the same in potency for the most part IMO.

I think that would depend upon how well your light penetrating the canopy and how your plant is structured. In my opinion, the best chance for a uniformly potent plant would be a mainlined plant that has good, evenly dense lighting. Sometimes when harvesting, I'll take the top tops and let the rest go for a few more days. It seems the extra light and time really frosts the bottom. I have no way of testing potency other than the old eyeball test, so maybe it's all anecdotal.

Potency testing labs are far from consistent
