Its almost spring and we cant wait so we have started planning to produce a lot of seedlings! We want to transplant seedlings to see if planting like tobacco would benefit the plants ability to outgrow weeds.
Our germination testing will supply estimates of seed /plant ratio's and seed to seedling rates. We have found that germination rates vary and even like batches of seed have various ranges. Parkland seed and Hemp genetics seed supplied last years seed and we found varying results but because of last year, we are going to check before producing mass quantities.
