Cannabis microbial testing is conducted to ensure that any microbiology component in the sample is detected. The CoA forms presents microbial tests through indicating the yeast, mold, coliform, E coli, pseudomonas and salmonella in the cannabis. It is a test that illustrates the availability and growth of fungi in the sample. The CoA forms indicates that Silver Burst, Twist of Lime and The Seeker failed the microbial test. The Seeker failed the microbial test for having high aerobic plate count (APC) and coliform levels. Twist of Lime failed since it had high APC, yeast and mold and pseudomonas levels. Silver Burst sample failed due to the high APC, yeast and mold and coliform levels. The high levels of microbi...
