Try looking for the seeds for the strain, most reputable companies will list the THC % on there sites.

THC percentage is highly variable. It depends on such parameters as parentage, soil pH, nutes, lighting, temps, watering, pot size and others. It's impossible to say with any certainty that a given strain will produce bud with X% THC. The best you can do is specify a known range of values, based on empirical testing. We can give some averages, based on highly accurate laboratory testing:

The results of an independent examination of gas-liquid chromatographs of street samples of marijuana from California that were submitted to PharmChem during 1973 and 1974 are shown in Table I. Seeded varieties ranged in THC from an average of 2.2 percent (Mexican) to 4.9 percent (Panama Red), while sinsemilla averaged 2.8 percent for Big Sur "Holy Weed" to above six percent for Thai Sticks and Hawaiian "Maui Wowie." This would appear to be a much more representative sample of the types of marijuana available in California in 1973-1974 than the half-percent grade cited by Cohen (1986) and Hawks (see Kerr 1986), or the one to three percent grade cited by Tennant (1986).

From here. Note these numbers are in stark contrast to the inflated figures often touted by anti-marijuana activists making the claim that today's weed is far stronger than that from a few decades past, as well as over exuberant suppliers. Realistically, the average marijuana found on the street is about 2-3% THC. Claims of 27% THC or better may very well be apocryphal, but even if not, certainly many of the circulated THC percentage figures out there are exaggerated. In any case, notice that the above quoted material specifies THC percentage averages, since samples from one plant to another may vary wildly.
