Thanks guys, we work hard. At least 10.4% of all plant parts (buds, stalk, leaves) is CBD oil at 17% or higher concentrations. All THC content is under 0.003%. You could smoke a trash bag of this and not get high. This year's crop ended up being more than 31,000 lbs of raw dried, cured product.
If you have Rheumatoid arthritis, Cancer, Skin Conditions... hell we all know the list that goes on and on... this can be a lifesaver.
We got the fields planted in a little late due to regulation issues and water pump permits... all the crap youre familiar with if you are a businessperson. If it weren't for the man, we would have been on time. Some stuff is just always out of your hands.

After you extract the CBD's will the product be any good after that to use for hempcrete or any other industrial level?

As a matter of fact, yes. The big stems that we break off are going to Hempcrete. The stuff we sell to the oil processors is ran through extractors and is then sold back to us and the low-grade returns are made into Hemp cigarettes which basically have no real use other than smoking cessation. (Think smoking a cigarette which was slightly better for you with no addictive nicotine) I don't know what those companies are doing with it to be honest. The Hempcrete does more than a low CBD joint.
Again, im just a workin' stiff, I don't make the command calls on where the product goes.

Do you know where can I find commercial hemp seed like this? I've wanted to get into growing hemp a long time.
Thanks!!

I do not know where our company originally got their seeds nor if it is a trade secret so I cannot say there. However, I have seeds from Black Forest Seed Company in which I have popped several strains and they are iffy at best. Completely unstable. There are also seeds available in Kentucky though I do not know a producer.
The industry is in its infancy and there are few places to get quality stable specimens. I am working on developing my own strains and value added products. I'd say that's probably the best route for anyone.

That last greenhouse pic... many of the plants are falling over. You can vine clip them from above or just stuff in a piece of bamboo. That's a lot of work

Still, it looks very well done. Professional on every level. I've seen dispensaries that could take lessons from y'all.

Dispensaries don't take lessons. They grow crap and sell it to people standing in line at the counter yelling "shut up, and take my money!!!". Until the green bubble bursts there will be no need to consider quality. Money is the only thing that matters to a dispensary.

Wholesale growing (like what these guys are doing with hemp) is the only thing that interests me in the cannabis industry. I want nothing to do with dispensaries.

We were using all the bamboo stakes they would allow us to use for our big ol flowering plants. These were leftovers that we were going to throw away but I said I could at least get an ounce per out of them. They got no fertilizer their entire life. We even had some water problems where it rained excessively and contaminated our well with 1400ppm of who knows what. They got watered with that too, which really equates to saltwater brine with calcium instead of salt.That last greenhouse pic... many of the plants are falling over.

I agree here. Dispensary owners are too preoccupied with having all types of money that they dont factor in anything like running costs. Some owners are mere imbeciles who happened to get a license. Most of them have failed already into the dankness. But the fact remains most if not all dispensaries cater to the Frys' of tourism who have never seen an unmashed bud. Amendment 64 killed quality and its almost shameful to be a grower since you are not allowed to really use all of your skills. The owner could be a toenail doctor and know nothing about agriculture, approving or denying measures based on an ask.com query. Solution? Vote with that dollar and don't buy from the dispensary. If youre a good grower, don't work for them and provide them with excellent product for a measly hourly wage income that equates to working in the back stockroom at WalMart on night shift.
