Take a fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the cultivation of hemp to produce CBD. At CBDSOL, we value every step of the way to bring you the highest quality CBD products. Follow us on this journey to the heart of the plantation, from germination to harvest.
Germination: bringing the first shoots to life
As soon as hemp seeds encounter ideal conditions, germination begins. Firm, dark seeds guarantee a promising crop. It's essential to keep the soil moist, but not excessively so, to protect the developing seedlings.
Lifting the dormancy of these seeds prevents premature germination over winter. Once this obstacle has been overcome, simply plant the seeds carefully and keep a close eye on them.
Growth and flowering: a critical phase for the plant
During this period, the hemp plant stretches to reach its full size, in preparation for the formation of CBD flowers. This stretching phase usually takes place over one or two weeks, when the plant can double or triple in size. This is a key moment when factors such as light play a crucial role.
This phase is followed by senescence, marked by a natural yellowing of the leaves. Contrary to popular belief, these yellowing leaves still bring energy to the plant. Once senescence is complete, the leaves fall naturally, signifying that the plant is approaching maturity.
Harvesting and drying: extracting the best from CBD
October is often harvest time for CBD flowers. The ideal time to harvest is when the trichomes become milky and amber. The optimum time to cut the plants is just before dawn, after a long period of darkness, maximizing the cannabinoid concentration.
Then comes the delicate drying stage. Hanging upside down in a cool, well-ventilated environment, CBD flowers slowly lose their moisture over a period of one to two weeks. Careful drying reveals rich, sweet aromas, while drying too quickly risks altering the flavor provided by the cannabinoids.
- Careful selection of seeds for better growth
- Optimum humidity control during germination
- Maintain favourable light conditions during growth
- Harvested at dawn for maximum cannabinoid extraction
- Slow drying to reveal all the aromas
