It’s the first week of May, the perfect time for planting hemp seeds. Last week we talked about gathering supplies and deciding on a location for your plants to grow–and of course getting your hands on some seeds. Hopefully you have those now but if not don’t worry, you’ve still got several weeks left to…
Happy Spring everyone. Ready to grow some hemp? Maybe you use hemp flower or CBD to treat a medical condition and you’re worried that your favorite products won’t be available come November (when the new “hemp ban” passed by Congress in 2025 takes effect). Or maybe you just want to save some money by raising…
We’re two weeks past the Spring Equinox and the time has arrived to plant this year’s hemp crop. The last of the snow has melted but nights can still be quite cold here in Maine (and the days too!) through April and May, so the seeds get started indoors. This allows the plants to get…
The robins are back, the brook flows strong, and the nights grow shorter–all signs that it’s time to plant the hemp seeds here in midcoast Maine. As usual, I timed this year’s spring planting just after the new moon in April, which this year fell on the 7th. The idea with lunar planting is that…
When April arrives in Maine it’s time to start planting the hemp. This allows the plants to mature enough to identify any males before they go in the ground in June. I like to plant in the days approaching the first full moon in April. Although “feminized” hemp seed is now the norm at most…
Spring is here and that means it’s time to think about planting this season’s hemp crop and trying out some new cultivars. We had a bunch of late snow in March so it’s still looking a little wintry out there but the robins will be arriving any day now. I’ll start planting next week in…
After beginning their lives in small seedling trays, the young seedlings are up-potted into 1g nursery pots around week 2 or 3, then spent another 4-5 weeks growing through the month of May. We like to keep them outdoors in the open air as opposed to inside under lights or in a greenhouse–much healthier for…
One of the most exciting seasons of the year is springtime, when we germinate the hemp seeds and begin a new growing cycle. It always seems like magic when you put those tiny little seeds (not much bigger than a large peppercorn!) into some damp soil and a few days later a little green shoot…
