i think after owning a gc personally… testing 100s of samples personally… you really see a pattern for these cannabinoid…
people are getting cleaver and spiking liters with cannabinoids that typically wouldnt be there… i think you do the right thing and test everything and if that dont make sense… test it again… cover your ass and you wont be disappointed as much.
This test is a traditional liter with 2% of a minor which just confirms that traditional liters contain decent amounts of minors
The OPs test has 0 minors because in my opinion it is a conversion
I have another in here somewhere that’s 97%tac and just d9 with 2-3%d8. I’ll keep looking 
d9 is d9 is d9. COAs are always you’re guide to quality.
The problem with conversions is… how was the conversion done? Was a catalyst involved? Was it done on isolate or distillate? If distillate what was the quality?
The problem with dumping reangents and catalyst into distillate is you can’t control what it catalyzes and/or reacts with. There will be side reactions and side products. You’ll see things ranging from high CBN from the conversion process or for some of the more exotic alt noids possibly heavy metals and/or catalyst left in the mix. Fortunately labs are getting better about particular side products that are key indicators of converted liters.
Always remember that unless you pay someone to look for a PARTICULAR substance in an analytical lab - if it isn’t in their SOP odds are it will remain unknown. Be safe folks. If in doubt, send a sample to a qualified lab and double check the CoA. It’s easy as fuck to photoshop one.
This statement is wrong. Chiral Center orientation will dictate more or less psychoactivity. Converted d9 is usually containing higher percentages of the less desired orientation.
This statement is true but in this case it is not an issue as it is clearly stated it was tested for it and came back non-detectable.(unless they’re lying)
Rather than a conversion, could the lack of minors and the lower than expected viscosity be the result of chromatography to remove pesticides (Cat3 == passed for pesticides)?
Then wouldn’t the color clarity be better?
Also it doesn’t make sense, if you manage to filter out the minor cannabinoids what’s that other 5% in there?
I’ve certainly seen a darker, runnier, and less pure sample returned to the customer after “pesticide remediation” in the past. Customer wasn’t convinced it was as even their material…
Current facility performs remediation in house, and we have had material where we managed to remove the pesticides but saw zero improvement in color
Okay but how does it explain that 5%, where did it come from?
Hand me a sample and I’ll take a look. Or wave your hands and guess.
Looking hard at which solvents are still in there might be informative, as would the cannabinoid chromatogram
It’s not my stuff have to ask the op for it
I think the combination of zero detectable minor cannabinoids and 5% of other materials points in one direction. But you have much more experience and understanding in chromatography than I do so I am very interested in hearing your opinion.
I dont think that’s a converted liter
There’s no way they made pure d9 without any d8 or exo thc
Even the 95% d9 thc v my clients send me that’s synthetic has d8 thc v in it from the conversion of cbd v to d9 thc v
Conversions produce even more iso-thcs than exo thc.
I’ve just seen more than a couple low viscosity distillate samples post “chromatography”.
I’m putting chromatography in quotes because I wasn’t there, so don’t actually know what went down.
We follow chroma with another round of distillation, and I haven’t seen any low viscosity samples from our process yet.
5% solvent would be pretty egregious, but one trivial hypothesis for the “chroma == runny” would be that some folks just leave a ton of solvent in there when they’re done
This could be a conversion post chroma…
5% solvents would be insane and I would imagine when smoked by the op would be very noticeable???
I’d imagine 5% residual solvent would be noticeable way before combustion 
So what you saying is 50,000 PPM is almost as much fun as spraying some into a bag and huffing it
