Green Dragon Tincture Potency Test: 9.5 mg/mL Result

Homemade tincture is satisfying to make — but how strong is it really? This green dragon tincture potency test uses the TCheck 2 to measure Fordee’s homemade Green Dragon and lands at 9.5 mg/mL THC. Knowing how to test cannabis tincture at home removes dosing guesswork and replaces it with real, verified numbers. This is Part 1 of a 2-part series; Part 2 covers the double-infusion method to push potency past 14 mg/mL.

Why Do a Green Dragon Tincture Potency Test?

Online calculators can estimate tincture strength — but only if your input numbers are accurate. Dispensary cannabis potency accuracy is frequently lower than the label claims. Many operations never independently verify their batches; they rely on the grower’s stated percentage, which can be inflated, outdated, or based on a completely different lot. When dispensary cannabis potency accuracy is in doubt, the only reliable move is measuring yourself. A verified green dragon tincture potency test removes the guesswork and lets you dose with real confidence.

TCheck 2 Tincture Test Method: Step by Step

The TCheck 2 tincture test method for alcohol-based infusions comes down to five clean steps:

• Shake the tincture thoroughly before drawing a sample. Fordee stores his in a wine bottle with a vacuum stopper to preserve freshness between tests.
• Attach a micron filter to a syringe and dispense about 5 drops onto the TCheck tray. Hold the filter while pushing the plunger — pressure can pop it off.
• Cap the tray and check for air bubbles. Bubbles mean retest; no bubbles means you’re good to go.
• Open the TCheck app, select “Decarb Flower Infusion — Alcohol,” and enter the tincture temperature (71°F here).
