New Grower what does 15% thc mean?

[turtle360]

What is being measured? Is it 15% of the substance making up the trichomes? Is it effected by the density of trichomes on the plant? In which case a very frosty 12% strain will be more potent than a less dense 15% strain. Stupid question?

15% of the cannabinoid profile as a whole is THC.

from another blog:
In very potent strains, carefully prepared marijuana can be 30 percent delta-9 THC by dry weight (seeds and stems removed from flowering buds). Buds are the popular name given to masses of female flowers that form distinct clusters.

check out this lab report for CBD Crew Nordle strain. It looks like the total cannabinoid content is 12.57%. Of the total dry weight of plant excluding stems and seeds? If I'm reading it right thc is 36% of total cannabinoid content and cbd 56%. Combined with the rest it doesn't sum to 100% of cannabinoid content.

percentage is % of the weight of the sample submitted. So if you submit a 100g sample and it comes back as 22%, you have 22g of THC in the sample.
