Has anyone ever tested how much thc potency is in your grow? Anyone have any home kits they recommend? ---

@RandyMarsh I have used both the Cannalytics kit and the tCheck. Cannalytics takes more skill and time to get good results. The tCheck is more expensive up front but I think it does a better job. The Cannalytics left a lot up to interpretation and the supplies were going to be expensive. I have been able to find all the supplies needed for tCheck on Amazon for a lot less money. ---

@RandyMarsh Here’s a full review I did on potency testing using TLC > [@Thin Layer Chromatography - Review](https://ilgmforum.com/t/thin-layer-chromatography-review/59099): > > @Teacherttom1 @Nicky So, I got everything to test potency using thin layer chromatography. Here’s what I found so far. Buying a kit is nice because everything is there and ready. Now that I understand the process I would buy most of the stuff separate so I could buy some better quality pieces. Also, I ended up buying a pipette to dispense 1-5ml of liquid instead of using the syringe that came with the kit. The kit came with a .5-10ul pipette but there is also a need for the … ---

@Bubblehead and @emgoldslo have you covered. I would go with the Tcheck if money was no option but I think the non Tcheck thin layer chromatography kit is a great choice, you’ll get more accurate the more you do it. Personally i haven’t got one because I’m busy spending my money on other stuff and I’m already near double what I ever thought ide spend on this hobby haha ---

The reactant is 99% isopropyl alcohol. I found the small syringes and filters needed on Amazon also. Amazon had that in bulk and when compared to their supply kit costs it was less expensive. Plus I have supplies for hundreds of tests. ---

I just bought a HiGrade microscope… It’s supposed to be +/-3% accurate… I also use the app to grade weed. It had decent reviews so I bought it. I’m on my first grow so I haven’t had a chance to rate my own grow. ---
