Why Should I test?

How do I test my cannabis products/ how do I utilize a cannabis testing lab?

Whether you are curious about potency, or concerned about safety, having access to a credible cannabis testing lab is key. If you are sharing your homegrown cannabis with others, it is especially important to be sure your cannabis is free of mold, mycotoxins, heavy metals, and pesticides. It is also helpful to know potency for proper dosing when using product. Different genetics produce various chemotypes, and also respond to changing variables within the grow. Testing periodically as you switch genetics and cultivation practices is a good way to see which direction you are heading.   To view a list of the testing services we offer at SafeTiva Labs and to learn more about submitting samples, please click here.
