Finding A Reliable Hemp Provider
If you’re preparing to grow industrial hemp, you will need to find a hemp provider who won’t scam you and who will provide you with reliable and healthy hemp clones. Here are 10 ways to identify an ethical hemp provider, and avoid people and companies who will scam you.
1. A reliable provider offers customer references.
Any ethical provider of hemp clones will offer references from their customers, or at least provide them upon request. If the company you’re researching can’t give you any customer references, that’s a warning sign that they may be unreliable.
2. A reliable provider has a complete website and a person you can reach by phone.
If you can’t contact the provider directly and speak to a person who is knowledgeable, do not buy from them. Look for a complete website with clear and accurate information about the company and products, as well as accurate contact information. You should be able to speak to a person who can answer your questions.
3. They will offer detailed information about the breeding of their hemp varieties.
Your hemp provider should be able to give you details about the breeder and breeding of each variety of hemp they sell. If they don’t offer this information and can’t answer your questions, don’t buy from them.
4. They will encourage you to visit their facility.
If you can count on a provider to offer good hemp clones and service, you can also expect them to invite you to see how their production works. Any ethical business will want you to see how the sausage gets made. If you’re not allowed to visit the facility, look for a different provider.
5. A reliable provider has been in the horticulture industry for a long time.
You want to find a provider who is experienced in the horticulture industry, and ideally with the hemp industry as well. This lends credibility to the company and makes the people you’re buying from a more reliable source of information for you.
6. They will offer service and coaching after they sell to you.
Once you buy hemp clones, your provider should continue to be available for coaching on all aspects of planting and growing. If they don’t offer this kind of customer service, look for someone who does.
7. A reliable provider can give multiple verifiable COAs for each variety they sell.
Federal law requires a Certificate of Analysis to prove compliance with THC levels and to show CBD content. A reliable provider will be able to show multiple COAs for each variety they offer to give you detailed insight into the content of the plant.
8. They do not guarantee that a variety will not go hot.
No variety is guaranteed to not go hot. Any variety of hemp will go hot if it isn’t harvested in time, and a reliable provider will not promise otherwise. If it seems too good to be true, it probably isn’t true.
9. A reliable provider ships legally, only via USPS.
The only way to legally third-party ship hemp clones (currently) is via the United States Postal Service. Avoid any provider who uses a different shipping service. (Note: USPS is the only way to ship minimal trade quantities. Some LTL companies can carry large quantities.)
10. Use your gut and if you get a negative feeling, run!
Trust your instincts, and be sure that you’re comfortable with the company from which you’re buying hemp clones!
