How To Read A THCA Snowball Lab Report

 THCA flower snowballs have hit the hemp marketplace, providing an even more potent form of flower by coating THCA flower buds in THCA diamond dust (ground up THCA diamonds).  This boosts the THCA percentage of the product by a good amount, resulting in a very, very strong THC high.

THCA snowballs are fast-becoming a very popular product, and that means that more and more companies are offering them, both in person and online.  And, as you may have guessed, quality levels can vary a lot on the market, as each brand has its own methods and standards.  Perhaps the top way to know whether or not a THCA snowballs product can meet your demands is by reading those lab reports.

Why Does Third-Party THCA Testing Matter So Much?

Any company that sells hemp products must have their products lab-tested – but does that mean that all of them do?  No, despite it being the law.  Federal law states that all hemp-derived products are only legally allowed to possess up to 0.3% delta 9 THC, and the only way for a company to verify that this is the case is by submitting batches of their hemp extracts to an objective, state-licensed third-party testing facility, where it’s analyzed using strict, industry-wide protocol.

Lab-testing isn’t just for proving that a product is compliant with the law.  It goes over many factors involving the product, including its purity, and whether or not it’s been contaminated, to show that it’s safe for human consumption.  A company can swear that they offer the purest, safest THCA snowballs possible, but the reality is that you can never know for sure without looking at the lab report.  And, if a company isn’t publishing their lab reports on their website for customers to read, that’s a big red flag, since it usually means that there’s something about the company’s practices that they’d rather keep from the public. 

Where Would a THCA Snowball Lab Report Be?

Companies that produce THCA snowballs should make it as easy as possible for customers to find these lab reports.  They’re likely to be in one of two locations: either on the product page or on a separate page where each lab report is listed together.  Every individual snowball product (like each strain, for example) should have its own individual lab report, so that you can find the specific product you plan to buy.

In you can’t actually find the lab report on a company’s website, you can always contact the company and ask for access to them.  Just know that some companies require that you scan a QR code on the product’s label to access the lab report for that particular flower product.

How Can I Be Sure a THCA Lab Report is Authentic?

Although it’s incredibly rare, the truth is that a lot of companies do publish lab reports that have been altered somehow or are entirely illegitimate.  This can mean making a fake document altogether, or modifying/editing an existing, authentic one to change the information on it.  Fortunately, all lab reports are easy to trace back to the laboratory.

Any lab report should feature the lab’s name somewhere – usually in the top left corner – along with a reference number.  To authenticate a lab report, first you’ll want to look up the name of the lab, to make sure that it’s a real laboratory.  If you want to be fully sure, you can contact the lab and give them the reference number to make sure that the report is authentic. 

What are Short and Long THCA Flower Snowballs Lab Reports?

Short and long THCA flower snowballs lab reports refer to specialized laboratory analyses designed for this type of product.  To better break it down:

• Short Lab Reports: These typically summarize the key findings of the product’s analysis, focusing on essential metrics such as THCA content, THC content (if any), and possibly other cannabinoids present in the sample.  Short lab reports might also include basic safety testing results, like checks for pesticides, mold, or other contaminants.  The primary purpose of these reports is to provide consumers with a quick overview of the product’s potency and safety.
• Long Lab Reports: These are more comprehensive documents that provide in-depth analysis of the product. In addition to the information found in short reports, long reports might include detailed profiles of terpenes (compounds responsible for the aroma and flavor of cannabis), a complete spectrum of cannabinoids present, and more thorough safety tests (heavy metals, residual solvents, microbiological testing, etc.).  Long lab reports are designed to offer consumers, researchers, and regulatory bodies a complete understanding of the product’s composition and quality.

Both types of reports are crucial in regulated cannabis markets, where transparency about product content and safety is essential for consumer protection.  Again, these reports are often made available by producers and dispensaries to demonstrate compliance with local regulations and to help consumers make informed decisions based on the chemical composition and purity of the cannabis products they purchase.

What to Look for While Reading a THCA Flower Snowballs Lab Report 

We know that looking at a lab report for the first time can be overwhelming, with so many bits of information on one page, and plenty of terms you never heard of before.  Let’s go through each section to explain what it means, and what you should be paying attention to.

Purity and Potency

One of the first things to heck when looking at a THCA snowball  lab report is information about the purity of the product (whether or not it contains additives), and how much THCA is in the product (its potency/concentration, which should be higher than average because of the presence of THCA diamonds).  Purity level in particular is very important because it will tell you whether or not the THCA diamond dust is authentic.  

Now, don’t expect a 100% THCA product, as there are hundreds of individual compounds in a sample of THCA flower, including THCA snowballs.  As for the potency of the THCA, it should range somewhere between 30%-50% depending on how much of a coating of diamonds is on the flower buds, as this represents the entire THCA concentration of the product: the THCA in the flower, and the pure THCA diamond dust.

Legal THCA Compliance 

You’ll also see a section that tells you whether or not the product is legally compliant, as it will show the amount of delta 9 THC in the product, which should not exceed 0.3%.  Keep in mind that when THCA decarboxylates (reaches the right temperature) it converts into delta 9 THC.  There may be the slightest trace of delta 9 in a lab report, however, as some of the THCA may slowly achieve the threshold temperature to convert.

Safety

A very important factor is the safety of the product, and there will be a whole section of a lab report for this.  This section is where you’ll learn whether or not the THCA snowballs contain any dangerous impurities that could cause harm, like certain microbes, heavy metals, environmental toxins (pesticides, etc.), solvents, or contaminants.  Naturally, you will want avoid any product that contains harmful impurities.

Composition 

Another thing to pay attention to is the chemical composition as broken down into cannabinoids and terpenes.  THCA snowballs should be high in THCA, of course, but there should be other cannabinoids in there as well – after all, hemp contains over 100 individual cannabinoids in varying amounts.  

You should clearly see the percentage of each cannabinoid and terpene that makes up that particular snowball product, which will vary based on the strain that you’ve chosen.
