What should farmers know about growing hemp?
Growing hemp can be a profitable business due to the many uses of the plant. In any case, it is desirable to obtain adequate information about the applicable regulations to avoid breaking the law.
Hemp is an herbaceous plant with an annual cycle that can easily thrive in different climatic conditions. It is an extremely versatile botanical species that can be used in various sectors. With careful initial evaluation, it can turn out to be a profitable agricultural business. Cannabis cultivation is at an industrial level, subject to the use of low-THC inflorescences. The plant’s products can be used in industries ranging from textiles to food or cosmetics.
Current regulations require that the plant be grown with flowers containing reduced concentrations of THC, the cannabinoid responsible for the psychoactive effects of the substance. You must also choose a hemp variety registered in the European Seed Catalog. The purchased seeds must be accompanied by an invoice and a tag confirming their certification. Currently, agricultural entrepreneurs can continue their activities without resorting to special permits. However, they must keep the seed tags and invoices for at least 12 months.
In general, the plant requires deep and well-ventilated soil rich in organic matter to grow. Stagnant water in the soil should be avoided. In addition, its depth ensures that the plant can grow with a tap root.
If you decide to grow outdoors, it is better to choose plant varieties that develop faster. Autoflowering varieties can be a good choice for those who want to grow the plant outdoors. However, it is better to avoid highly fragrant varieties when growing outdoors in a not-so-isolated area. It is also necessary to evaluate important environmental factors, such as direct sunlight during the day, protection from the weather and the degree of humidity. The best time for sowing is from March to April, so that the seedlings are warm and exposed to at least 12 hours of sunlight per day.
Growing cannabis indoors requires caution, especially with regard to exposure. The problem of direct light can be solved by using special lamps, which also guarantee the right temperature for seedling growth. You can even grow them in the garden or on the terrace. All you need to do is choose a suitable place, well lit by the sun, but sheltered from rain and wind, and of the right size for the plant to grow. Also get good quality soil and find a suitable pot or container for growing cannabis.
For agricultural entrepreneurs, growing light marijuana can be a profitable business. When evaluating the convenience of this farming business, it is, of course, necessary to balance costs and income. In addition, yield differences depending on the variety of the chosen plant, weather conditions and the farmer’s experience will also vary.
Is this a good form of income?
Currently, the price for one kilogram of seeds is about 12 – 13 zlotys. In the case of cold-pressed hemp oil, we can get a price of 28 zlotys for 100 ml. Processed seeds are more expensive.
