Nope if you are looking to test bud the lowest price for anything worthwhile to have and be accurate you’re gonna have to break out about $2000+ ---

I have the T-Check. They claim accuracy is +/- 3% for raw flower. And +/- 4mg/ml for decarbed flower based infusions. Cost is $400 for the complete kit that does both. They have a 15% off code (Check15) tcheck[.]me/learn-more-thc-cbd-potency-tester/ ---

It’s accurate enough for my own purposes. I don’t think I could sell bud to a dispensary using the tCheck for potency testing - since +/- 3% is a broad range (18% thc could read 15 or 21), it takes a couple tests of the same substance to get a good feel for what you really have. That said, the tray is plastic and wholly reusable so testing the same bud 3x in a row isn’t difficult or costly. I do wish it could test potency of butters and oils at higher rates than 15mg/mL but that’s mostly just a whine on my part because I prefer to make my infusions strong and use less butter/oil generally. If I had the money, I’d have gotten a Purpl, and frankly I would have been disappointed. The tCheck has more versatility than the purpl with a much much lower price tag. ---

Do you find the #s are close to what is advertised? I know there are a lot of variables but if ILGM says THC up to 19% arr you seeing closer to the top end or way lower? ---

I’ll be frank, I haven’t tested many of my buds. I tested a CBD strain and it was fairly true to advertising, around 12% CBD. I got it mostly to test concentrates and infusions. But that said, I’m quite happy to test a few and see where they come out. I have a pretty well-cured ILGM Chocolope, Wedding Cake, and Zkittlez. We can see if I can grow anywhere near the threshold they advertise. 😂 ---

Aw man, I’m all outta likes but I tried to burn one on that cute lil’ anyway. ❤ When I get off work I’ll try to remember to test some buds and report back. ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/4/1/0/410c66ed83d2856c5eb8e49fd6bacdd867f1daf9.jpeg) Here was my CBD strain btw. ---

I have tested Blue Dream at 26% and GSC at 21.2. And while the BD is more than I see published, it is some very good bud. 😉 They both say up to 21%, so it appears to be close. But to test raw flower, you have to take a small amount of flower and weigh it, then extract with 99.9% isopropyl. You do that by shaking it in the alcohol for 5-10 minutes. And then you tell the device how much the sample weighed. Errors in weight would result in different readings, and I suspect the extraction time could as well. ---

Question, when they say THC level of 21%, what is this a percentage of, trichomes? ---

Total cannabinoids. It can’t differentiate between THC and CBD, for example. ---

Yes. That grow was harvested in January, so the temps in my basement were lower then.
