Based on what I just found 12.5% is pretty damn good.
In the 1960's and prior to that, the good commercial grade marijuana available to most smokers had a THC content of about 2% to 5% and premium sinsemilla had a THC content that was somewhat higher. Some sources say that marijuana with THC content of 1% to 4% was considered good dope by most americans in the 1960's.
In the year 2007, the good commercial grade marijuana available to most users had a THC content of about 5% to 10% and premium sinsemilla was about 10% to 20% THC.
Some reports have marijuana with a THC content of over 25% being produced by some advanced hydroponic growers. 25%-30% THC is probably the maximum potential for marijuana. Any claims of marijuana with a THC content anywhere over 30% should be treated with skepticism.
Note: The figures above are based on high quality product (or better) only. The majority of cannabis sold is inferior product that is nowhere near the figures stated above.
Books
Marijuana Botany
Very good book about breeding marijuana and improving the quality and quantity of your crop. This has information from doctors, scientists, horticulturists, and other professionals. Collected from 50 years of laboratory and field research.
Not for the small time grower, this is more for commercial operations and advanced growers. Understanding this book requires that you have a some knowledge of horticultural and scientific terminology.
Marijuana Botany
Marijuana Chemistry:
Genetics, Processing And Potency
Explains the various cannabinoids that marijuana is made up of and how things like growing conditions, harvesting, processing, affect the potency of the final product.
Lots of tables, graphs, and other info. Recommended for the intermediate and expert marijuana grower, this is heavy on chemistry. If you do not have a very good grasp of science and chemistry this book is not for you.
