Ok you guys can all doubt all you want.... I can give you the name of the cross and the testing facility that tested it. You can then call them and confirm.... It is outdoors and one of the highest numbers I have personally seen. The testing facility is very well known and tests for the medical industry. I have no reason to spread a false claim. It is not even my strain so why would I make it up.... Northern california, the emerald triangle in particular has tons of EXPERT growers. Upper 20's is not uncommon for people who have perfected their own crosses through the years on the hill. If you doubt it then you seriously don't understand the experience growers here have. I have yet to hear anyone on this site discuss testing of their strains but, they are so quick to shoot down a proper test result. Yes, I agree I was shocked when I saw the results. But, they are certainly legit and the grower in mention is certainly an expert.
bENNY- Yes 24% is generally a high thc content though these days emerald triangle growers (as well as others) have no problem achieving mid 20's (even upper 20's) I see it all the time. I do not see 35% all the time (more like never). My indoor tests average of 22-26.5% thc. Some of my strains are not grown for thc content and of course those 1:1 ratios are more like 8% thc. Of course thc content is not everything. The ratio is the most important. As for your comment on 17% knock you on your ass... well that is your opinion and tolerance. There are lot's of people who have extreme tolerances and require higher cannabinoid levels for medical relief AND pleasure/recreation. It is not uncommon for me to smoke a gram of wax a day that tested in the upper 80's into low 90's for thc. Though I have cut down my tolerance a decent bit in the past few weeks. Thats what happens when your winter indoor runs out before your outdoor finishes up lol
Esinfinite- well it is not a mistake and the testing facility is one of the more popular ones in the medical industry. There is nothing wrong with their testing technique. I have had many many strains of mine tested by them. This was not my strain or grow... It is not like every strain that comes out is 35%... that is a rare test result for flower. But, I saw it with my own eyes and smoked it as well. Have you tested any of your strains? If so where and what results did you achieve? If you havent tested many batches of your strains then don't knock down someone elses achievements. I gain nothing for posting a false result. I was just as shocked as many of you were. The cross is secret due to obvious reasons. Such as, the producer has worked on this strain for 15+ years and clearly worked it to perfection.
In my experience it is much easier to achieve upper 20 % even into low 30's with outdoor vs. indoor. Indoor is much much prettier on the eyes but, there is no better light producer than our sun. Sun grown can do some pretty amazing things such as yield over 10 lbs a plant. It is not the first time I have seen a strain up there. But, it IS rare.
