Sour Pineapple Feminized Hemp Seed

12-Step Guide to Growing Your Own Hemp

1. Soak seed 8–24 hours in water in a cool location out of direct sunlight (do not leave seeds in water for longer than 24 hours).
2. In a small pot or tray, pre-water the soil, being sure to check whether the soil is thoroughly saturated.
3. Pour out soaked seeds onto a rag or paper towel in order to remove them from the water (keep the seed in the shade if outside).
4. Make a divot in the soil with your finger about ½ to 1 inch deep. Put one seed per hole, approx. 4-5’ apart.
5. Once all holes have a seed, cover them by pinching the topsoil around the hole, and water gently. Keep the soil moist until seedlings emerge. Be careful not to overwater.
6. Ensure that the top 2 inches or so of the soil are dry between waterings. This will help ensure the seed and plant doesn’t experience rot.
7. The plants are ready to transplant when the roots are protruding from the bottom of the pot (estimated 4–6 weeks).
8. Dig a hole slightly larger than the pot, remove your plant from the pot, and place in the ground. Fill around the plant with soil, and press firmly. 
9. Water thoroughly until the soil is saturated. Infrequent deep watering is better than frequent shallow watering. As flowers develop, avoid getting water into the buds as it can cause mold.
10. I recommend trusting your green thumb intuitions: water as needed, and place in full sunlight.
11. If you’re growing in the United States, and have started your plants around early or mid-May, having them planted outside after the last frost, then you should be prepared to harvest by October.
12. And finally, to harvest, cut plants at base and hang upside down in a dry location until stems break when bent.
