Growers of cannabis tend to have one main goal, and that is to maximize the Marijuana THC crystals within their plants. But how do we make this happen? A lot of it ultimately comes down to how you harvest and produce your plant.  Plants designed to produce high levels of THC tend to look more attractive and are dense and sticky. So why does this matter? To reap the benefits associated with maximizing THC levels of course. Some of which are:

  • Greater Marijuana THC offers better mental effects and your harvest goes further
  • Higher THC levels have better health benefits like relieving symptoms of multiple sclerosis, relieved nausea, and much more
  • Increased THC levels can help you increase your overall marijuana output, making you more money

But how do you ensure that maximum THC crystals remain on the buds? We’ve compiled a list of tips that can help you out.

  • Research different strains to find out which ones can give you the best results
  • Harvest your marijuana at the right time. There is a small two to three week window when plants are deemed as mature, wherein the buds contain the highest amounts of THC
  • Another way to identify high levels of Marijuana THC is when the plant’s white pistils have darkened and curled. In other words, the bud looks more solid
  • Make sure your cannabis creates the most potent buds possible by making sure it gets direct light during the flowering stage. Do not underwater or overwater it
  • Be wary of using supplement; most of them cannot prove that they create more robust buds
  • Regularly monitor your harvest to ensure you don’t miss peak flowering times. Doing so means you’ll catch them when their glands are at their largest with resin freshness
  • Last but not least, make sure to pick your automated trimmer carefully. All CenturionPro trimming machines include a Quantanium coated tumbler and keif collection, double bag system that makes it easier for higher amounts of Marijuana THC to be extracted

 

GMP refers to the Good Manufacturing Practice Regulations promulgated by the US Food and Drug Administration under the authority of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (See Chapter IV for food, and Chapter V, Subchapters A, B, C, D, and E for drugs and devices.) These regulations, which have the force of law, require that manufacturers, processors, and packagers of drugs, medical devices, some food, and blood take proactive steps to ensure that their products are safe, pure, and effective. GMP regulations require a quality approach to manufacturing, enabling companies to minimize or eliminate instances of contamination, mixups, and errors. This in turn, protects the consumer from purchasing a product which is not effective or even dangerous. Failure of firms to comply with GMP regulations can result in very serious consequences including recall, seizure, fines, and jail time.

GMP regulations address issues including record keeping, personnel qualifications, sanitation, cleanliness, equipment verification, process validation, and complaint handling. Most GMP requirements are very general and open-ended, allowing each manufacturer to decide individually how to best implement the necessary controls. This provides much flexibility, but also requires that the manufacturer interpret the requirements in a manner which makes sense for each individual business.

GMP is also sometimes referred to as “cGMP”. The “c” stands for “current,” reminding manufacturers that they must employ technologies and systems which are up-to-date in order to comply with the regulation.
