Hemp has many industrial uses, some of which may surprise you. 50,000 years ago, it was one of the first plants to be spun into usable fiber and today it’s most well known for its medicinal uses and clothing/accessories. A by-product of hemp fiber production can even be used for construction applications. Hemp hurds are what’s left of hemp stalks after being stripped of fiber during the decortication process. Combining hemp hurds with lime yields a material used for construction and insulation, called Hempcrete. Hempcrete is an effective way of putting this leftover material to good use. It has become
Can a Male Hemp Plant Pollinate a Female Marijuana Plant?
The answer is yes. There is some confusion out there regarding the relationship between Hemp and Marijuana, the two often being referred to as cousins. While it is nearly impossible for plants of a different Genus to hybridize or outcross with one another, the Genus, in this case, is Cannabis. It is very common for plants from the same Genus to hybridize freely among different Species. This can be very desirable when it involves a breeding program with the goal in mind of creating new varieties and strains. There are 3 species of Cannabis: Sativa, Indica and Ruderalis. While there
Is CBD Concentrate/Hash Stronger than CBD Flower?
In short, the answer is a resounding YES! Let me break it down: First of all, to make Concentrate/Hash, you must start with plant material. The Marijuana Industry has long used leftover trim from highly-prized manicured flowers (buds) of the Cannabis plant. This trim has been a great source to further extract from something perceived as having little to no value, when compared to flower, and making it into something whose value gram for gram becomes even more valuable than flower. As the Marijuana Industry has become more competitive, flower has been incorporated into the extraction scene. High end concentrates
How Much is 1000mg of CBD?
Here at Hemp Direct, our best seller far and away is our 1000mg Full-Spectrum Tincture. The Price Point on this product is a huge driver, not to mention Free Shipping. I wanted to further explain or give some perspective as to how much CBD this actually is in relation to the size of the bottle itself. Our bottles are 1oz in size (30mL), 1000mg of CBD is roughly the equivalent of 1mL. Hempseed Oil makes up the remaining 29mL of space in the bottle. This may seem like a lot of filler, however, pricing is based on actual mg of
The Truth About CBD 3rd Party Testing
I’ve read excerpts online about how unregulated the CBD Industry is and that there’s no 3rd Party Testing for CBD Products. I’ve also heard claims that CBD is illegal unless it comes from Europe or elsewhere outside the U.S. The only half-truth in any of this is in regard to a lack of federal regulations at this point in time. The reason being, hemp has yet to become permanently legal nationwide, though legislation is inevitable. All U.S. hemp and its numerous products are, in fact, perfectly legal as long as they come from states with approved Pilot Programs. I see zero reason for
Making Sense of CBD Hemp Oil Pricing
In the fairly new world of Hemp products, a common question I am asked in terms of pricing is what are these prices that are all over the place based on? The short answer is that these prices are based on the actual number of milligrams(mg) contained in a product. Some companies’ retail prices are much higher than others. This could be perceived as trying to simply make a larger profit per unit, taking advantage of the newness of Hemp products in general or possibly that the more expensive products work better than the cheaper ones. There is much to be said
