How published THC figures compare

Strain databases publish a single figure or a range: Leafly lists 21%, AllBud 17–24% and Weedmaps 15–27%.2,3,4 Seed sellers advertise more, from 19% (Humboldt Seed Organization) to 28% (Barney's Farm) and 29% (ILGM).5,6,7 In state lab results, 90% of Blue Dream flower tested below 24.50%, so the seed-catalog figures describe the top of the range rather than typical flower.1

Limits of this data

  • Coverage is uneven. WA (614), MI (612), NV (408), MD (255) supply most tests; Oregon and Rhode Island results carry no product names and could not be matched.
  • Some labs report higher THC than others, so we publish medians and middle ranges rather than maxima. No single lab accounts for more than 16.7% of these tests (49 labs in total).
  • Terpene medians come from 484 tests with individual terpene values, 405 of them from Nevada labs. Maryland reports only total terpenes, and Washington, Michigan and Hawaii report none.
  • We matched names strictly: crosses and near-miss names (for example "Santa Cruz Blue Dream") are excluded and counted, and duplicate certificates are removed.
