The Colorado Department of Agriculture announces that six industrial hemp seed varieties have passed the 2018 statewide Tetrahydrocannabinol validation and observation trial and are now eligible to be grown by the members of the Colorado Seed Growers Association for production of “CDA Approved Certified Seed.” Those varieties include B 11 by Potent 2018 LTD; CRS-1 by Hemp Genetics International; Henola by The Polish Institute/International Hemp Solutions; Medicine Mother by Mountain Flower Botanicals; Rajan by the The Polish Institute and VC Star by GrowHempCO.
In 2018, the CDA Approved Certified Hemp seed program trialed eight varieties of hemp across Colorado’s diverse growing conditions to validate if they would grow mature plants that test at or below 0.3 percent THC concentration on a dry weight basis. During 2018, the program approved six new varieties approved to be grown as a class of “CDA Approved Certified Seed.”
To be CDA Approved Certified Seed, hemp varieties must be produced and labeled by members of the Colorado Seed Growers Association according to Association of Official Seed Certifying Agencies standards.
