Full-Panel Testing

A potency-only COA answers one question — how strong. A full panel answers the ones that matter more: pesticides, heavy metals, microbial contamination, mycotoxins, and residual solvents for extracts. Hemp is a bioaccumulator, efficiently pulling metals from soil, which makes contaminant testing more than a formality. Full panels cost vendors real money, which is exactly why publishing them signals seriousness. We note on every review whether a vendor’s COAs are potency-only or full-panel, and a full panel is a genuine point in a vendor’s favor — one of the few we award.
