hemp grow, western ma

I can answer this question, i went to a field day on hemp. Hemp grown for CBD oil does not want any males around. Grown for the buds and harvested and hung much the same as we do. Around 2000 plants per acre costing $4.00 per clone. The hemp grown for fiber doesnt care if they are females or males. Grows a stalk with a bud on top. Cut down and lays untill dried up then bailed and then off to a processing plant.
Google Henry Ford hemp car for a eye opener.
 
Any issues with theft? I’m in Eastern mass and there’s a cbd hemp farm down the street from me and was robbed a couple times by dumb kids
 
All good here. It was intersting learning about Hemp. The CBD guys dont want their plants pollinated so they get their plants from clones or cull out males if they grow from seed. If they are pollinated and THC is detected they will not to be able to sell their crop because of THC will be in the oil.
The hemp grown for fiber is a totally different looking plant. Grown for the stalk. They arent worried about males in their crop.
And please forgive me as i am only reporting what i heard and saw, i am not a expert.
 
Yes they are taking cuttings from a mother plant, a known female, and getting $4.00 per clone for the CBD grown hemp.. Intersting to learn about hemp and listen to the speakers at the field day. There was a group of Omish there asking questions. When we went to the field to look at hemp cut down for fiber there was all of a sudden a drone was overhead, the Omish hauled asre out of there, no picture taking for them.
 
I'm having flashbacks to August 1997... I had followed Phish from Pittsburgh to Buffalo, a day home in Mass, and then several hours north to Limestone, Maine for the Great Went ... I didn't even really like the band, but I loved the drugs .. I traded my tickets for mushrooms when I got there... one of my only memories from that weekend was of some old school hippy, holding court in a shitbox RV, sucking on a ballloon... he was going on and on about how hemp will someday save our society, and someday we'll again see fields of hemp growing next to corn ... at the time it was absurd, and that old dude was one crazy fkr... but he was right... just keep your pollen out of my airspace is all I ask

Thanks for all the interest. This ‘trash’ is grown specifically for CBD oil, medicine for people who need it. No clones were used, and theft is not been an issue, though there are many gawkers that pull over to take a closer look. There are cameras and security in place. And again, not a male in the field.

Not grown for fiber or industrial use, just CBD oil(::cool:(:
 
Yes there were some professional “farmers” that grew acres and didn’t cull males, you know the rest of that story. You’d think they’d wanna get it right.
 
How do you avoid mold issues in this climate? I assumed moldy buds made into cbd oil would be a big no no for sick patients.
