99% Feminized Hemp Seedlings, Member Guaranteed.
Providing local farmers stable, pest free, high-performance feminized hemp seedlings with over 99% female to male lab certification. All of our seedlings and transplants are non-psychoactive containing less than 0.3% THC.
Smart farmers know that total input costs through harvest is all that matters when choosing among "liners" or plug starts for mechanical transplanting. A cheap plug suffering 10-20% mortality is an expensive choice when viewed from a total cost perspective. Our seedlings have 4-6 inch tap roots and can withstand the rigors of large scale transplanting.

High CBD Seedlings: Invest in the Best for a Better Value
We chose only the finest varietals from all over the world and hand-picked only the best phentotypes for over 5 years to develop these rare strains. We performed field and economic trials and concluded that feminized seedlings just have a better price-to-performance ratio when choosing a planting strategy for your farm. The hemp industry followed the cannabis business using cloning get only female plants. Unfortunately cloning hemp plants for acres of production does not scale well. Key limitations are:
- Clones are more expensive than seedlings
- Clones are labor intensive and prone to pests infestation
- Seedlings have a tap root and grow more vigorously
- Seedlings are less susceptible to transplant shock and are more drought tolerant
Not your average "Box Wine, Berry or Cherry" mystery strain. We breed our own lines and hand-select for the best phenotypes to ensure we produce the highest quality cannabis resin hemp seed for discerning farmers and growers.
Early Season Seedlings
Our early seedlings are grown to go into the ground on historical last frost date for a "no drama" planting experience. These strains can take a late frost, and bitter winds while getting established. We crossed many of these varieties with Indica cultivars originating from the northern Himalayan region. These plants have a shorter growing season and will tend to be more compact and uniform making them a great candidate for early harvesting to spread out crew labor.

Mid to Late Season Seedlings
Our mid to late season seedlings are grown to maximize CBD yield by maturing 2 - 3 weeks after our early season varieties. These strains can take a lot of humidity and moisture to minimize molds and mildew. By breeding phenotypes with colas starting at the lower third of the stem we create a plant conformation that allows it to breathe and dry out faster after rainstorms. We crossed many of these varieties with Sativa cultivars originating from the tropical and equatorial regions with our Indica strains to make the stems stiffer to reduce or eliminate staking. These plants have a longer growing season and will tend to be more upright and uniform making them a great candidate for high density planting or machine harvesting.

Kiva Rock 1.0
The strain is one of our favorites and was bred to extend into lower latitudes with a greater climate adaptation. It is named after the stone dwellings of the pre-pueblo culture that lived near our farm around 1500 BC. Strong as stone and built to last, this variety was among the top biomass producers in our 2019 field trials. Specs

Rock On 1.0
Rock On was developed for its stunning terpene expression and flower quality. It has a reddish purple tinge complimented by pistils that glow yellow and red. The strain was in the top three of our field trials for biomass as well as CBD yield per acre. This plant exhibited the best balance of size and yield during our 2019 field trials. A real winner. Not available until March 2020. specs

Frequently Asked Questions
Why are peat plugs better than plug trays?
|
Peat Plugs Outperform"Do the Math", deep rooted seedlings are less expensive in all but the highest volume nursery production scenarios.
Unlike fiber and oilseed varieties of industrial hemp which tend to be drilled at high planting densities, CBD-rich varieties tend to be transplanted from nursery-grown planting stock at much lower planting densities, usually around 2000 plants per acre. Wholesale prices for nursery-grown planting stock can range from $2.50-$5.00 per plant, with prices for clones at the upper end of this range. Farms with adequate nursery facilities can produce their own planting stock for much less. However, costs of production in the nursery can vary considerably and the sensible hemp farmer will want to use the most cost-effective methods to produce their planting stock. Chimney Rock Farms has evaluated numerous different nursery production systems for producing field-ready planting stock from feminized seeds. Seedlings produced in Jiffy® forestry pellets grow more vigorously than alternative production systems, producing seedlings that are 50-100% larger than other systems 28 days after sowing. This saves up to two weeks of time in the nursery, cutting fertilizer, labor, and energy costs. Furthermore, field mortality rates of seedlings grown in peat pellets are consistently 10%-20% lower than other nursery production systems after transplanting. This reduces the number of seeds required per acre, or increases numbers of live plants per acre, depending on whether mortality losses are replaced or not. These factors result in costs of production for hemp seedlings grown in peat pellets that are at least 40% lower than other types of nursery production systems. |
WHAT IS THE RATIO OF FEMALE TO MALE PLANTS?
You can expect 1 out of 4,000 plants to be male. We warranty 99.0% to be female for our Members and will replace any males culled from the field.
WHAT IS THE CHIMNEY ROCK WARRANTY ON LIVE PLANTS?
Live plants must be inspected for plant condition and pests prior to title transfer at time of pickup or delivery. No plant or pest warranty after acceptance. Please read our Sale of Goods Agreement.
WILL CHIMNEY ROCK DELIVER OR SHIP SEEDLINGS?
We offer delivery for a 100 mile radius from the farm in Bayfield Colorado (81122) for $100 plus $2.50/mile. Customer is responsible for shipments over 100 miles. We can recommend or coordinate with a shipper of your choice.
How large will seedling starts be? How large will transplants be?
That depends on when you ordered them, the propagation time and when you want to pick them up or have them shipped. Seedling transplants range from 4" to 8" tall, transplants range from 12' to 24" tall.
Are Peat Pellet seedlings Mechanical transplanter capable?
Yes they will work in most mechanical transplanters up to 12 inches tall.
What size are the seedling presentation trays?
We provide them in 50 cell trays.
Can I clone and resell these genetics? Are they Open source?
Chimney Rock Genetics are NOT open source, however, direct sale buyers and Farmer Members may clone our genetics for their own use within the season for which they purchased from Chimney Rock Farms or one of its Members or Affiliates.
Only Seedling Grower or Feminized Seed Grower Members may resell to the public our genetics under a license agreement. We do this because increasingly Nutraceutical Manufacturers are choosing to standardize on a cultivar with specific cannabinoid profiles so they can lower their manufacturing costs while ensure higher quality biomass supply. We Market these cultivars under the "Chimney Rock" name so you can focus on producing and selling. To do this we license our genetics to Farmer and Grower Members so they can reap the benefits of our R&D, Marketing and brand development efforts.
