Growing CBD Seed in Wyoming: Mistakes to Avoid

There are challenges involved with growing any crop and hemp is no exception. However, unlike most crops, farmers are still figuring out what those challenges are and are coming across new ones every day. Fortunately, as a Wyoming hemp farmer, you have a wealth of resources available to you. Not only do you have the option of buying hemp seed from CBD Seed Co. and gaining access to your very own account manager, but you can also learn from other’s mistakes. Here are some of the common pitfalls to avoid when growing CBD seed in Wyoming.

Common Hemp Growing Errors

Because the Wyoming Regulatory Hemp Plan was only recently set into motion, Wyoming is new to the hemp scene. For this reason, some may hold the opinion that the state is far behind when it comes to gaining a foothold in the market. On the other hand, because other states have led the way and conducted a good amount of the trial and error process, Wyoming farmers now have plenty examples they can look at. Here are some of the most common errors made by farmers who are new to growing CBD hemp seed.

1. Not obtaining accurate testing – Testing helps ensure that your hemp is compliant with THC laws and is free of contaminants. When you send in samples for testing, it’s important to make sure that you’re working with a credible lab facility. You may even want to consider obtaining a second opinion the first couple times when working with a new lab testing company.
2. Not taking measures to prevent growing a hot crop – If your crop contains more than the allowable amount of THC, it may have to be destroyed. That’s why it’s important to take measures to prevent THC spikes during growing. This includes growing the right variety of seed and protecting your crops from stressors.
3. Buying poor quality CBD seed – One of the biggest mistakes a hemp farmer can make is buying poor quality seed. It’s important to buy seed that has a high CBD ratio and good genetics. Before you buy, make sure you talk to your supplier, ask questions, and read the findings included in the COAs.
