The major difference between the CBD hemp and industrial hemp is in their purpose. Industrial hemp is cultivated mainly for its seeds and fibers. CBD hemp is grown exclusively for its flower. CBD hemp is mainly cultivated for its cannabinoids. Care must be taken to ensure that the flower is not fertilized, male or hermaphrodite.
Because CBD should be grown from female seeds only, there are some things you will need to consider when cultivating a good CBD hemp crop.
Make sure that each plant has enough spacing. CBD hemp grows short and thick. Depending on your types of seeds, climate and soil, the spacing varies from 4 to 6 feet between two plants. The depth of planting should be about half an inch deep with only one seedling going into each hole.
CBD hemp grows well in slightly alkaline soils with a pH scale ranging between 7.0 to 7.4. Do not use chemicals when planting. If you put in chemicals or pesticides, these will be absorbed into the plant and eventually passed down into the flowers, reducing the quality and possibly the potency of the bud.
