So I own a store in Texas.
Unfortunately, we live in a state that only has legal access to hemp derived products.
I’m glad we are getting things that are more natural than Delta 8 and isomers, though I know they have their place.
Federal definition of hemp is Cannabis that contains under 0.3% Delta 9 THC by dry weight.
We know have what the industry is calling THCA flower, which I know is just marijuana that’s testing under the 0.3 on D9, but still high in THCA.
From the little info that I’ve found, I’ve read that it’s something that’s specifically done in the curing process that keeps those levels under.
Does anyone have more info on this or know about this process?
We’re looking at starting a grow, so that we can be prepared for when Texas legalizes in the year 2055. Ha
This would be a way that we can become established and ready while still making a decent profit in the meantime.
Any information that could help us from seed to curing that keeps us compliant would be greatly appreciated.
Here’s a bit of information on thca flower. I’m not sure what you could change in dry and cure that would stop the thca from converting to THC overtime.
I have been wanting to grow in Texas for 2 years now. I have connections in Houston. I would love to grow Texas!
Did you ever grow and / or find any information on growing tHCA plants specifically?
I hope you do
what every flower I grow is until hit with a match or decarbed in an oven
That is what I was thinking too. You can eat a bale of pot, and probably would get a severe upset stomach, but it won’t get you high unless you torch it some which way or another.
I figured that with all the retired people in FL and TX they would both be legal long before Missouri, but I was wrong. Cause it was my gen that brought pot smoking to the front.

Growing THCA “Hemp Flower” can be a fun and rewarding experience, but it does come with some things to keep in mind. First, it’s all about giving your plants the right environment. Make sure they get plenty of light and have a good soil mix with proper drainage. The key is to avoid too much heat, as THCA can degrade into THC under high temperatures, which could affect the quality. If you’re interested, you might want to check out more info on thc a flower for some tips. It’s a great way to explore hemp cultivation, and with the right care, you’ll see some good results!
This could be complete bro science but I’ve heard cutting a week early helps to reduce d9 levels. Anecdotally it seems to work from what I’ve seen.
Also always check if your state has a state side revision to hemp act. My state does and defines d9 percent as dry decarb weight. Meaning the thca is treated the same as d9 from a legal standpoint. We also require hemp license so you can’t just grow hemp. Just things to take note of to make sure you keep yourself safe.
you can buy HD9 which is delta 9 thc that came from a hemp source
they ship it any where last I looked THCA diamonds and isolate samething
it is all THCA until it is heated/combusted
be it oil in a banger or bud in a paper or pipe
