Hemp Seed
Hemp seed represents the genetic foundation of the entire industry, where selection determines the final yield, cannabinoid profile, and overall success of a crop. From OECD-certified fiber and grain varieties to high-yielding cannabinoid clones, utilizing high-quality, “clean” genetics is the first step in avoiding “hot” crops and ensuring agricultural consistency. This category explores the science of seed selection, germination standards, and the importance of reliable, Michigan-hardy genetics.
