1. Nutrients that are typically applied to an acre of hemp; 200 lbs nitrogen acre, 40 lbs phosphate, 30 lbs sulfur, and potassium 200lbs can be transported through Torpedopot? patented feeding system. It prevents your nutrients from polluting the air and lakes and applies it directly to the plant's root system. Nutrients that are absorbed by the plant can be collected and recycled. This process eliminates waste and reduces cost. Torpedopot? patented feeding process reduces environmental hazards due to over fertilization.
2. Hemp germinates quickly but has a very high mortality rate! Any deficiencies in the soil such as salinity, pH, organic matter, moisture, drought, warm soil can drastically impact germination rates and early plant growth. Rapid changes in soil conditions can be addressed immediately. Torpedopot? watering and nutrient technology allows growers the ability to make field adjustments as needed.
3. Hemp is typically seeded at about 25-25 lbs per acre which yield about 100 plants per square yard. Average mortality rates are around twenty-percent, but high environmental stress can drive mortality rates as high as 85%. Growers conduct extensive field preparations to eliminate weeds because weeds can impact affect hemp growth. In the Torpedopot? weeds are virtually nonexistent. You don't have to wait for the wind to calm down before applying herbicides because in the Torpedopot? weeds and herbicides have a negligible impact on hemp growth. So, seed density can be reduced to 10 to 20 lbs.
4. Torpedopot? allows you to tailor your feeding schedules. In Growing spaces where there is reduced lighting, you can supplement your plants with nutrients. Also, you can funnel nutrients to growing zones and see the effects immediately. You can also create unique feeding schedules, portions, and application. You can easily manipulate conditions that affect the plant's height, maturity, and seed size and make them more uniform. You can develop more robust grain varieties for higher fiber and nutrient content.
5. The most finicky part of the hemp growing process lies in satisfying the seed. Hemp seed requires moistened soil with a depth of about .5 to.74 inches in depth. Variations in moisture, temperature and seed depth can be easily controlled using Torpedopot?. You can germinate hemp seeds directly in Torpedopot?.
6. Eliminate the use of fungicides and herbicides. Fungicides create residues that may affect the hemp seeds. Here are three dominant out of pocket expenses that are practically eliminated
7. Capital Investments for farm equipment is enormous. Combines can cost upwards of four hundred thousand dollars. You can quickly start small Torpedopot? hemp farm for that amount of money. Why not harvest on demand! Depending on what your target crop is, you can separate male and female plants. After you densely seeded and pollinated the crop. You can collect the male plants from the Torpedopot? after the pollination has taken place. Ask about our automatic harvesting systems.
8. Hemp is photoperiod sensitive. A shorter daylight period automatically triggers its reproductive cycle. Hemp is good for filling out an area. Its canopy ensures that weeds don't get sunlight. However, even though you give the plants more room to spread out seeds production is not affected by the additional room. Space has a negligible effect on seed production. So densely populated the plants in Torpedopot? will provide you with practically the same yields as 36 inches planted rows.
9. When harvesting hemp generally yields about twenty-percent of plant material and foreign matter. Torpedopot eliminates harvesting other plants because there are no weeds. So, you are harvesting one hundred percent of what was grown. This reduces stress on your drying and sorting processes. Nothing is wasted. Pathogens and sanitation issues due to sitting after harvesting are drastically. Torpedopot? can conduct pathogenic, soil, sanitation and THC testing.
10. Most One of the most significant problems with hemp is germinating the seeds and is getting rid of hemp debris. Most growers burn the hemp fibers in the fall or early spring while others plow debris back into the fields to utilize its rich nutrient fibers. However, it may take time for the materials to decay to start a new crop. Most farmers burn high BTU materials if it is allowed. Once the soil is over fertilized, it may take time for microbes to initiate the decay process. The microbial level in the ground must be vibrant enough to promote the decaying process. Plants grown in Torpedopot? can be readily isolated and removed from the environment so it can be ground down for use next season. Hemp is full of nutrients.
11. Organic growing can be challenging. Organic growers don't get good yields because the soil lacks fertility but at the same time don't get good fertility because the weed is sucking all of the nutrients out of the ground. Torpedopot? is ideal for organic growers. Torpedopot? eliminates almost all of the variables that impact the success of your crops. Weeds are practically nonexistent. You can organically fertilize and achieve high yields. Hemp can be densely compacted in the Torpedopot?. Pesticides and herbicidal residues left from rotating crops are eliminated. Organic hemp crops can be easily isolated for harvest.
