How it started

High Grade Hemp Seed was one of the first licensed hemp farms in the United States and has been pivotal in the reintroduction of hemp to the global supply chain. Founder and CEO Bodhi Urban and the High Grade team introduced foundational hemp strains such as Berry Blossom and Cherry Wine that are the basis of hemp genetics today.

MATTERHORN CBG

CBG is a cannabinoid we chose to focus on due to its powerful efficacy in early trials. Over the past few years, more and more research has been conducted to understand the value of CBG. Our partner Matthias Ghidossi, founder of Swiss Cannabinoid, has been working for years to cultivate his own terpene and cannabinoid-rich crops. Through a science-based approach, he surveyed thousands of varietals. In 2016, it became clear that the varietal of choice should not only be terpene-focused, but also CBG dominant. Working with several European geneticists and a Swiss pharmaceutical company on trials, we landed on Matterhorn CBG. We’re excited to bring this unique varietal to the market in 2020.

AUTO FLOWER

Since this varietal is day neutral and will essentially go into bloom shortly after establishing the tap root, we have seen the best performance direct seeding and irrigating with drip tape or pivot irrigation. If this type of irrigation is not an option you can still propagate in Ellepots but it is crucial they’re transplanted within two weeks of emergence so they can establish their roots prior to flowering. Often, planting density is tighter as you will try to shade out weeds before the canopy grows. We recommend 10,000-20,000 plants per acre. When planting the auto flower varieties we recommend prime and coated seed into direct ground with plant tape application and/or using a precision planter to skip the step of going into flats.

HG SEEDS MAKE IT EASY

Our hemp seeds are unrivaled. We deliver top-quality CBD and CBG hemp seedlings to you via our network of the largest greenhouse producers in the country.
