Colorado law provides hemp growers who produce hemp using Certified Seed or Certified Clones to petition for performance-based sampling. This provision allows crops to be sampled on random and risk based compared to all others who will be sampled 100%.
Performance-based sampling is only provided if registered with an R&D registration; has produced hemp at or below the acceptable hemp THC level for the previous three years; who produces hemp microgreens, hemp greens, hemp transplants, and immature plants; or who produces hemp for grain or other industrial purposes and provided the COA of the seed they have planted. If growers meet these criteria they may petition the Department for inclusion in the Department’s performance-based sampling program (8 CCR 1203-23, rule 4.8). Petition is valid for current registration identified in PART 1. If approved all lots are subject to random sampling by the Department.
To be eligible, please submit a petition within 10 days after planting. Only lots with a planting report will be considered for performance-based sampling.
