well the guy said a million plants per sq m, but that is impossible. i assume it was per hectare since he said meters and the planting density is 50 lbs per hectare on their website. since they advertise a 75% germination rate and there are 25-35k seeds per lb that fits the math much better. i almost hate buying seeds off of someone who makes that kind of mistake on the phone but it’s not like i haven’t messed up before.
someone suggested a site for cbd seeds that i thought was selling hemp fiber seeds also. thing is, he was selling them at $45 for a pack of 12. how in the hell would anyone buy enough seeds to sow an acre, let alone a field, at that rate? i thought the samples were expensive but at $45 for 12 then i’d have to have about $100k rather than the $300 for a 50lb bag.
i got 2 half pound samples of french hemp fiber seeds for $10 each plus shipping, they just won’t ship until late march. i’m just making seeds in high houses with them this year since i can isolate them and filter the air so they don’t go hot then plant them next year. no way in hell i’d plant those chinese seeds at this point in time. i’d grow some out and have them tested then make my own, but not plant them directly. i’ve heard those are the ones going hot and causing the loss of the whole crop. if i get my high houses’ filtration system down i may concentrate on just producing seeds rather than stationary.
