The Fidelity Monthly: Prepare Today. Stay Ready Tomorrow.

September is National Preparedness Month

Preparation is key in every industry, including cannabis.

As harvest and the busiest sales season approach, planning your harvest schedule, testing timelines, and sample submissions early can help avoid delays. A little preparation today goes a long way tomorrow.

Plan Ahead for Fall

Fidelity’s current turnaround time is 7–10 business days, including pickup. Planning around this current timeline helps ensure products are ready for key sales periods. 

Recommended submission windows: 

  • Halloween: Submit by early October 
  • Thanksgiving & Black Friday: Submit by mid-November 
  • Christmas: Submit by early December 
  • New Year’s: Submit by mid-December  

Need guaranteed expedited service? Rush Orders are available for 3- or 5-business-day turnaround when selected at submission.

Cannabis products continue changing after packaging. Heat, light, oxygen, and moisture can affect cannabinoid potency, terpene profiles, and overall product quality. 

Proper drying, curing, packaging, and storage help preserve product integrity from testing through consumption.

This October marks 10 years of Fidelity Diagnostics serving Montana’s cannabis industry.

For nearly a decade, we’ve remained committed to accurate science, transparent communication, and supporting a trusted regulated market.

Stay tuned as we celebrate this milestone next month.
