Q&A for How to Harvest Hemp

Hemp is a type of cannabis plant, but it contains much lower concentrations of THC (the psychoactive component of marijuana) than the closely related marijuana plant. This means that if you were to smoke or ingest hemp, it wouldn’t give you the same kind of high as marijuana. However, it does contain high concentrations of CBD, another compound that is thought to have a variety of therapeutic benefits (such as relief of pain, nausea, and anxiety).

If you’re growing small quantities of hemp, you may not need much more than a sickle, a hand-held thresher, and some buckets for winnowing. However, for industrial hemp farming, you’ll need more heavy-duty equipment, like a sickle-bar mower and threshing machine.

Yes, this is a good way to store CBD hemp. Cut the hemp with a disk mower, then let it dry. Once it’s dried, collect it with a wheel rake and load it into a round baler. You can store the bales the same way you would store dry hay.

Because the process to have a oil is very hard, it needs more weed to produce an oil.

Yes you can and here is how: Take 1 teaspoon of dry hemp leaves per cup, and pour some hot water over the leaves. Let the leaves soak in the water for 2 to 5 minutes––it depends on how strong you want the tea to be.

It really depends on what type of plant you're growing. Annual plants have a life cycle that lasts for one year. They need to be replanted each spring. Perennial plants generally do not need to be replanted each year.

Reduce the hours of light and change your fertilizer from one that grows for green to one that grows for bloom.

Get rid of the yellow leaves, otherwise they will obstruct your plants from getting proper nourishment and proper light.
