COG Example
Grade
The grade is based on the average of the four qualitative attributes.
Expiration Date
This is determined by how the product is packaged and stored. Our COG is more accurate the closer it is to the grading date. They expire as cannabis and hemp material degrade due to exposure to heat, oxygen, and light.
Appraisal
Target price and price range are based on real-time transactional market data. We don't set the price -- the market does.
Lab Data
From Certificate of Analysis (COA) to pesticide panels, our COG includes and reports on the results of any tests that have been performed on the material. If tests have not been performed, then that is reported instead of the results.
Defects Assessment
Utilizing technology, a keen eye and a wealth of experience, our grading specialists identify defects including pests, mold and more.
Attributes
Aroma, Color, Structure and Trichomes are all graded using a 100-point qualitative assessment. For more information see, Section 3 on the ICHS page.
