Testing

Thcv is found only in African landrace cultivars...and a couple of studies have found that it’s an appetite suppressant,I had a Durban cross yrs ago that was one of my favourites,for the relaxed/happy state of mind effect it had on me..

Durban Poison seems to be a significant strains for THCV..hybrids including Girl Scout Cookies and Subcool's Jack the Ripper are know to have it as well...

Subcool has always mentioned that his Jack the Ripper has a reasonable amount of THCV in it, to the point of breeding for THCV with it. Not sure what other strains he's created with that in mind though.

CC..
I agree..dealing with fairly thin genetics out their on the thcv front..African sativas likely to be the hail mary out there...

Doug's Varin..now a GW pharmaceuticals proprietary hybrid strain from the looks of it, is ahead of the curve.

Agreed there is often significant variation among a generation of plants for all cannabinoids.. Unfortunately, for someone like myself, looking for thcv...a cannabinoid that may only have 1-3% thcv to begin with,( if Im extremely lucky..) a 2% variation in overall cannabinoid profile can be significant

Absolutely.
That's the problem we see with the system, but there really isn't a solution unless the cost and time requirements of testing go way down.
Would be great to be able to test every small batch of buds and sort them based on cannabinoids, potency, etc.
Then they could sell everything with accurate ratings and consistency.

I think one of the reasons we see less talk about this is that most "consumers" are using these numbers as a rating for potency and potential effect.
Cannabis education is very limited, so they see high THC and think "get high" and they see high CBD and think "get low".
Until the education improves, there won't be much demand for proper testing IMHO.

"Cannabis education is very limited, so they see high THC and think "get high" and they see high CBD and think "get low"."

essentially......... that's about it
