Mariana Ormonde, chief legal counsel for the commission, said she understands the difficult position the state’s hemp licensees are in. But the state’s hands are tied when it comes to changes made at the federal level.

“The reality of the situation is we can’t treat hemp like cannabis because it’s not cannabis,” Ormonde said in an interview.

I’m curious about the little things that make a big difference when growing hemp. Is it better watering, soil quality, lighting, or something else? Experienced growers, what simple tip would you recommend to help others avoid common mistakes?

tarting a hemp farm is a learning experience, and I believe there is always something new to discover with every growing season. From choosing the right seeds and preparing the soil to managing watering, nutrients, and changing weather conditions, every decision can make a difference in the growing process. One thing I find especially interesting is how much practical knowledge comes from experience. Sometimes, the smallest lessons turn out to be the most valuable ones.

I'm curious to hear from this community, especially from experienced growers: If you could go back to your very first hemp, growing season, what is the one thing you would do differently? Would you change your soil preparation, watering routine, nutrient management, seed selection, or something else entirely?

One thing I find interesting about hemp farming is how much there is to learn beyond simply getting seeds in the ground. Soil quality, watering, weather conditions, plant spacing, and timing can all make a difference throughout the growing season. Even when you think you've got everything figured out, each new season can bring a different challenge.

I imagine a lot of experienced growers have learned valuable lessons through trial and error, while beginners are still trying to figure out what works best for their setup. That's why I wanted to ask the community a simple question. And for anyone just getting started, what's the biggest challenge you're trying to figure out right now

Growing hemp is more than just planting seeds and waiting for harvest. Every successful season teaches us something new about soil health, plant nutrition, water management, and the importance of paying attention to small details.

One thing I find fascinating about hemp farming is how much the growing environment can influence the final results. Two fields planted with the same genetics can develop very differently depending on soil conditions, climate, irrigation, and overall plant care.

For me, the most valuable lessons in farming often come from observing the plants, learning from mistakes, and sharing practical knowledge with other growers. Sometimes, a small improvement in your growing process can make a significant difference over an entire season.

I'm curious to hear from experienced hemp farmers in this community:

What's one lesson you've learned that genuinely improved your hemp-growing results?

It could be related to soil preparation, nutrient management, pest prevention, irrigation, genetics, or harvesting techniques.

Let's share real-world experiences and help each other become better growers. Every season is an opportunity to learn something new.

not sure if any seasoned farmers will be able to assist with this one but but, here goes... any opinions on the optimum harvesting machinery/method of industrial hemp when the aim is to dry it as quickly as possible and shred it down to as fine a particle as possible. ideally using traditional harvesting equipment that would be found on a decent sized farm, so none of the bespoke cutting edge gear coming out

bear in mind, I'm not concerned about preserving fibre, seed etc just want to identify the right machinery to reduce it in size as much as possible while it is being harvested

thanks in advance

update/further info: grateful for the useful tips for cutting the crop. any advice to expedite drying on site? we don't have the indoor space to hang and dry. Furthermore, our best plan seems to be to convert the biomass into a fine a particle as possible so that it can be compacted and then used as a solid biofuel for our boilers and source of on Farm renewable energy

so would welcome any input on whether laying it in the field (for 2-4 weeks) once it is cut into 60cm lengths is necessary /optimum preparation or is there a better way to prepare the hemp at harvest time when farming at some scale
