COMPLIANCE TESTING
All of our CBD varieties will contain less than 0.3% total THC (USDA requirements) when sampled at the appropriate time. We strongly recommend testing our CBD varieties by the end of the 4th week of flower to be compliant. In most cases this is the end of the 1st week of August when flowers have formed to the size of your thumb. If you wish to push this date further, weekly plant samples will need to be analyzed to ensure material does not exceed regulations for total THC content.
Our CBD varieties generally exhibit a 28:1 CBD to THC ratio. For example, if you grow flower that tests at 14% CBD, you can reasonably expect it to produce around 0.5% total THC. Studies have proven this ratio is the highest ratio achievable (on a crop wide average) due to the CBD gene itself, which produces THC throughout flower. If a vendor promises otherwise, question their claims.
Keep in mind federal rules currently only require crops pass pre-harvest compliance tests and remain below 0.3% Delta 9 THC (per the 2014 Farm Bill) as dried flower. If your material is tested and compliant, there is no federal legislation in place to inhibit your sales.
All of our varieties will always be Delta 9 THC compliant and our CBG varieties will remain below 0.3% total THC on the day of harvest and beyond.
CANNABINOID CONTENT
The graph below shows total cannabinoid content throughout flower as well as testing protocol in several states in terms of days out from harvest at 8 weeks into flower. Remember the CBD dominant norm of a 28:1 ratio when looking at the numbers: if a plant has 7% CBD, it will also contain around 0.3% THC.
Here is a sample taken at week 4 of flower from our Special Sauce varietal. As you can see, the CBD to THC ratio is still around 28:1.
Here Special Sauce is sampled at week 6 of flower - as you can see, total THC numbers are slightly above federal limits of 0.3% total THC. These gains will remain relatively consistent with all pure CBD producing flowers on the market. Once again the CBD to THC ratio remains constant.
Now we have an example of a dried and manicured Special Sauce flower offered by Tweedle Farms. These numbers are meant strictly to show the CBD to THC ratios and are for reference only. We cannot guarantee farmers are able to achieve these numbers, only similar ratios.
CBG - THE EVER COMPLIANT
Here we have a lab result from our White CBG. These plants were left out in the elements for almost a month past when we should have harvested them to see how high THC levels were affected. In our research, CBD dominant varieties tend to produce higher levels of THC when left in the field too long - fortunately our CBG cultivars still produced only 0.1% total THC, even at week 12 of flower.
Here is a video of Pixis Labs taking samples of the White CBG for the results you see above on October 16, 2019. Note the ratio of CBG to THC, around an astounding 90:1.
And finally, here is an example of a dried and trimmed White CBG flower grown by Fusion CBD. Once again these results are meant for reference only, and we cannot guarantee farmers are able to achieve these numbers. Again we have 90:1 CBG to THC ratio.
