Aunt Ginny"s Elixir-THC ?

[Isor]

Does anyone know what % of THC is in AG Elexir? The website says the ratio is 1:1 but how much percentage is THC and CBD? 5% , 7% , 10%?

To know the actual THC and CBD percentages, the material would need to be lab tested. Without a Certificate of Analysis (COA) or a personal testing device, there is no precise way to determine cannabinoid content.

When you see THC or CBD percentages listed for genetics or cultivars, it’s important to understand a few key points:

1. Marketing numbers are not guarantees.

If percentages are listed without third-party lab results, they should be viewed as estimates at best. Some early autoflower breeders boasted 30+% THC genetics over 15 years ago, because especially back then, they could say whatever they wanted and who was there to challenge them? If you trust your breeder, that can go a long way (and both ways.)


2. Even lab results have limitations.

COA's reflect the specific sample tested, not a universal outcome for the entire plant, a set of plants, or consistently in genetics.

In commercial cannabis, labs typically analyze a very small sample that is used to represent an entire batch (sometimes hundreds of pounds!!!)

That number reflects potential, not consistency.

It's also very easy to doctor samples for high testing numbers. Lab shopping is also a very real thing; if you don't like the results of Lab A, you can try Lab B.


3. Cannabinoid expression varies within a single plant.

Different buds on the same plant can test differently depending on their position, maturity, and exposure to light and airflow.

There is no such thing as a single, uniform THC or CBD percentage across an entire plant.


4. Growing conditions matter as much as genetics.

Environment, light intensity, nutrition, root health, stress levels, harvest timing, etc all influence cannabinoid production.

A cultivar labeled as “30% THC” or “1:1 THC:CBD” can perform very differently depending on how it is grown.

Labels reflect genetic capacity, not a guaranteed result.


5. Even clones are not immune to variation.

Clones may be genetically identical, but genetics alone don't dictate final cannabinoid levels.

Epigenetic factors and environmental conditions play a major role. A clone taken from a mother plant that tested over 30% THC could just as easily test in the teens if grown under different conditions.

Cannabinoid concentrations, especially ratios like 1:1, should be viewed as "directional guidance" rather than fixed outcomes.

The only way to know what you actually have is through lab testing of the finished flower grown under your specific conditions.
