Do you have to smoke pot to be a good grower?

To CDS. How often do you test? Do you test the same strain periodically (say, after each harvest) to see if you get the same values? And, are they the same?

Great questions! We test every harvest, some strains twice in the same crop if we have areas that may have come under stress, plants that simply thrived more than others, etc. I have a book three inches thick at the shop with various tests.

One thing we learned early on is that if you're looking for tests to come out identically, you're going to be unhappy with the process. Most test consistently within a range and we're comfortable with that. For example, I have three tests for our Sour D I'm looking at right now between 18.57% THC and 21.76%.

The biggest advantage I see for a caregiver is being able to try different cultivation methods small-batch style and using testing to see which had the most dramatic effect. :thumbsup:
