Thanks for the reply. My processor advises it costs as much to process low yield as high yield. That anything with 8% or less is not viable. Even at 15% the current return on overhead and labor is not attractive. Think it wise to throw in the towel for this season. Best to stand by and see...

Like many others last year I dabbled by germinating about 300 CBD seeds. Seeds were of many popular name, feminized strains purchased online. Have advantage of a 8500 SF indoor grow area and a sophisticated, large scale, processor nearby. Upon flowering discovered many plants were male. Of...

Thank you for responding. My confusion was, having read various text books examples of male plants showed a single pollen sack at the crotch of a branch. Mine are in clusters in random locations. This is certainly not without its pitfalls.

I am also struggling to ID plants 2 weeks into a 12-12 light cycle. Have folks with claimed experience giving contradictory opinions. Would appreciate a solid answer. Have attached today's results which look near identical to the previous post.

Thank you for the reply. I recall reading hemp is a perennial plant, and females would flower multiple times over several(?) years. If flowering is a once & done proposition, will redefine our core plans. Are there any recognized text books or other publications to learn from?

We have germinated and grown purported, high CBD plants from various vendors. I have no expectation of advertised values. Plan has been to flower and professionally lab test full analytics of flower at a fair investment. Plants yielding poor CBD content would be destroyed. On the chance of...

Dwight, many thanks for making the call on my behalf, and the helpful suggestions. I'll follow up with Oregon Hemp Genetics. Have plans to attend the NECANN convention here in northern New England next month. Hopefully a seed producer will be there with genetic certification. Dialog with...

Dwight, bottom line, at least as far as I've learned, seed vendors have no idea what they are selling and refuse to acknowledge it. Black mark on the whole industry. Growing plants from seeds advertised as 20:1 (CBD:THC) and having flowers tested as 1:1 is unacceptable. We are sophisticated...

Salt, both. Before heavily investing in growing acres of hemp only makes sense to know what I'm planting. In attempting to do that have discovered seed vendors are misrepresenting product. Hopefully there is a seed vendor that knows what they're selling, can prove it, and will stand behind...

Have purchased seeds advertised as high CBD/low THC from multiple vendors. Testing of flowered plants reveal no correlation between advertised values and actual results. From experience to date, justifying a commercial, CBD, hemp farming operation is not feasible. I remain receptive to other...

Looking to buy a small qty of certified, Cherry Wine seeds.

Before jumping in over my head, I'm using this season to evaluate a few different CBD strains. I'd like to include Cherry Wine, but can not find a small quantity of seeds from a reputable source. Any suggestions?
