THCA is a cannabinoid that’s taking over the hemp market, mainly in product types that heat the THCA to convert it naturally into delta 9 THC. THCA flower is the most popular THCA product that’s on the market right now, offering something super similar to weed, being hemp flower buds infused with THCA distillate.
With its massive popularity has come a sudden rush of new THCA flower products entering the market from different brands throughout the industry. But, are all of these products equally high in quality, and effective? The best way to find out is by looking at the third-party lab report, as you’re about to find out.

Why Third-Party Testing Matters
Lab-testing is a must for any company that sells hemp products. In fact, it’s required by 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 doesn’t just prove that a product is legally compliant. It goes over many factors involving the THCA distillate, 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 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 THCA that they don’t want you to know.
Where Can I Find the Lab Report?
Any brand that makes THCA flower should ensure that their third-party lab reports easy to find on their website. Usually, you’ll find that report in one of two places: either on the product page or on a separate page where each lab report is listed together. Every THCA product 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.
Confirming a Lab Report’s Authenticity
The bad news is that some companies do fake their lab reports, although it’s super rare. This can mean making a fake document altogether, or modifying/editing an existing, authentic one to change the information on it. But, the good news is that all lab reports can be sourced back to the laboratory.
All lab reports should feature the lab’s name somewhere – usually 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 You Should Be Looking for in a THCA Flower Lab Report
Looking at a lab report for the first time can be daunting, with so much information squeezed onto a sheet or two of paper. But, don’t worry – we’ll break down the sections that matter so you know exactly what to look for.
Purity and Potency
One of the first things to heck when looking at a THCA flower lab report is information about the purity of the THCA distillate, and how much THCA is in the product (its potency/concentration). The distillate’s purity level matters because it tells you how much of the distillate is actually made up of the cannabinoid. You’ll never find a 100% pure cannabinoid distillate, since the nature of the distillation process does not allow this to be physically possible, but you should see something that’s at least 95% — 99% is the best you’ll get with THCA.
As for the potency of the THCA, it should range somewhere between 20-30%, give or take, as that is the standard amount of THCA naturally found in cannabis, ensuring an adequate high just like weed.
Legal 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%.
Safety
Then comes safety. This is where you’ll find out if the THCA contains 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. Flower contains more than THCA – it contains the full spectrum of naturally occurring hemp compounds. You should clearly see the percentage of each cannabinoid and terpene that makes up that particular flower product, which will vary based on the strain that you’ve chosen. Expect a high percentage of CBD in there – 15-25%, give or take – as CBD is naturally the dominant chemical compound in hemp.
