will be destroyed.) Seeds that are certified (sold by domestic and international
hemp seed distributors) contain /=50°F), which influences
timing for planting, is recommended for successful germination. Industrial
hemp can be planted in late April in Kentucky and late June in Vermont.
Planting depth for seeds should be ~0.50 inches.
Female seedlings, started in a greenhouse approximately 6 weeks prior to
planting, or transplanted female clones (planted with root structure), can be
planted into black plastic outdoors to control weeds. 5 ft x 5 ft plant spacing
has been found to be ideal and results in a population of 1,742 plants per acre.
• Harvest. Average time to harvest a 6 inch clone is 90-120 days, Flower buds
from outdoor plants are removed by hand or using a debudder machine after
using a chainsaw or lopper to cut the plant down. Flower bud harvest is labor
intensive and can take ~30 hours per acre. Flower buds in a UVM study were
dried at 80°F for 18-36 hours until dry enough for storage without molding.
Indoor storage requirements creates a production challenge. As with most
crops, variations in yield can result from variations in genetics (variety), soil,
weather, and other growing conditions.
• Testing. State Departments of Agriculture conduct field and greenhouse
inspections for THC levels, which is the only way to separate hemp from illegal
cannabis. Crops that test >0.3% THC will be destroyed.
