Most of these tests come from one producer, so they may say more about that grower than the strain.
This is a small number of tests, so treat the range as rough.
Flower tested under this name in legal US markets, 2015–2025. The range covers the middle 90% of tests. Growers and labs vary, so a given jar can fall outside it. Data: Jikomes & Zoorob (CC0), Cannabis Wise Guys (CC BY 4.0), Cannlytics (CC BY 4.0).
