Isn't there lots of... crossover knowledge between hemp and the psychoactive cultivars?
- edoceo 8y agoHemp is big ag, cannabis is smaller scale horticulture. You treat your trees way different
- paradoxparalax 8y agoThere have been pretty strong Cannabis planted in big scale farms for many decades in South America. There are those not so strong too, but there are tons of good stuff in big operations. Paraguay, for example, have skilled big plantation farmers.
- darpa_escapee 8y agoMaybe. You maximize flower yields when growing the latter, though.
- protomyth 8y agoGiven hemp was grown in North Dakota during WWII (hemp for victory), I think the normal farmers will pick it up just fine.
- oblib 8y agoI'm sure farmers won't have any trouble growing it, but I did read not long ago about a farmer in Kansas who's family has farmed there for practically ever looking into it. He was wanting to know about strains and what bugs eat it and fertilizers to use and was especially worried about growing plants that had levels of THC that were too high, even by just a tiny amount. He didn't want get busted for that. It's been a few generations gone by since it was legal to grow hemp as a crop. They'll have to relearn it and that will take some time.
- protomyth 8y agoI'm not convinced that all the farmers in the area lost the knowledge of how to grow hemp, but I take your meaning and I would imagine the AgriBusinesses are the ones who are going to be learning some new tricks soon.
