3. What is Hemp?
Hemp is a robust Cannabis sativa plant that has lots of uses in business and industry. It contains minimal levels of
THC, the psychoactive compound found in marijuana, making it non-intoxicating.
Hemp fibers can be used in textiles, ropes, and paper, while hemp seeds provide essential nutrients like hemp oil
and protein.
Additionally, hemp is increasingly used in construction materials, biofuels, and skincare products due to its eco-
friendly properties.

8. Hemp Growing Stages
1. GERMINATION 2. SEEDLING
3. VEGETATIVE 4. FLOWERING
Seeds germinate, developing a taproot to anchor
themselves in the growing medium. As the plant
stabilizes, it emerges from the soil, revealing its
initial leaves.
Focuses on leaf and stem development above
ground, supported by nitrogen-rich fertilizers.
Reduce light exposure as the plant grows.
Split into pre-flowering and reproductive phases,
with rapid growth and emergence of pistils
(females) or pollen sacs (males) signaling maturity.
Roots are established for water and nutrient
absorption over 1-2 weeks, crucial for subsequent
growth. Once roots are formed, the plant enters the
vegetative stage.
