Colorado Hemp on a Big Level

I haven't seen it in place anywhere before. The high pressure simply eliminates any form of clogging in the drip emitters and works fannnnntastic. This keeps them from sharing any runoff without having to be in individual containers.

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.

I live in KY. I had lunch with a previous boss that has an empty factory. If it can be done I think it is a go.

The problem is the permit requirements are for at least 12 acres. I'm not sure if anyone here has tried to go indoor with hemp. We shall see.

We did the 500 mother plants indoors in a 80x80 warehouse to supply the 100,000+ clones. I dont see why you would have any issue doing the same. If you get a permit for 12 acres you do not have to use it all. However, those are colorado rules. With our indoor rules, it is $535 for the permit and $0.53 per square foot which for the 80x80 example above would total $3,927. Let's hope that KY has rules that are similar.

I do not recommend messing with seed except for your starts. Then clone clone clone if you plan for COMMERCIAL hemp. If you plan for INDUSTRIAL hemp you pretty much are going to grow willy-nilly with males, females, scragglies, whatever. Lots of ppl are going to be angry if you grow male industrial hemp so be prepared to fight action committees and such. When we planted out our grow people were convinced we had males in the field and even the sheriff got involved to settle the fiasco. The issue went to Town Hall and eventually resulted in Pueblo not being allowed to grow male industrial hemp in the entire county. So beware of that. If you do it indoors, expect to have to use a LOT of AC (KY is way way way humid and going to kill your ac pulling moisture out of your warehouse.) AT LEAST 15 TONS.

Most of your money is going to need to be spent on air circulation. That happens to be the #1 problem I have run into in at least two dozen grows. At least it is dry in Colorado, and that is still our main problem.

KY produced more hemp last year than any other state. Farmers here have been itching to grow it for years here. I expect it will explode here. I also expect demand to go up. At one time there were over 25,000 textiles made from hemp. It is a fast growing renewable product that you can make damn near anything with.

I couldn't compete with large scale farmers. I would look for plants that are high in certain cannabinoids and breed for that reason. Clone only the best specimens. Mainly for cannabinoid extraction.

I already have experience growing pot both I door and out here. Lol at the humidity. Not as bad as Georgia.

I like the work. Keep it up.

Thanks, and after all, Kentucky was THE BIGGEST hemp producing state. At the University of Kentucky they have the best repository of information regarding the production of hemp using old school (1800s-1900s) techniques in the country I think. Im with you on thinking it will get better and better out there. In Paducah there will be a big professional grow operation going up. I dont know anywhere else BUT Phillip Morris & R.J. Reynolds are getting into the game.

I could never live in Georgia.
