As the law stands right now, you cannot grow hemp on residential property. The FARMS Bill only gave the ability to grow hemp on industrial farms. Meaning that only people who intend to produce and sell the hemp for the use of creating products to be purchased can grow hemp. Each state has its guidelines on what it means to be an industrial hemp farmer. SO before you go planting those seeds, I would research your state to see if you can legally grow hemp at your home.

Depending on where you live, yes, you can grow a hemp garden in your backyard. As long as you adhere to state guidelines, then you are allowed to cultivate your hemp garden, keep in mind most states only allow three to six hemp plants at a time. If you are overseas, the laws are different. It is illegal to grow hemp in the United Kingdom and many other European countries. Make sure to check your hemp laws before starting any hemp gardens in your backyard.

To do that, you need an exclusive license with additional background checks available in departments plus a one time fee. So as if you decide to have your local hemp garden in your background, you must consider the initial one time fee that costs around 150 dollars, although another obstacle is overcoming to acquire hemp seeds.

You need a special permit in most places that require a background check and a fee. The fee is around $150, and then you have to find a way to get viable hemp seeds. So, ultimately, probably easier to just buy it.

I agree with the first comment , weather will play a huge role, and how much can you actually grow in your backyard a few plants what benefit is that ?

Yes and no. It’s tricky. Physically, yes, it’s possible, assuming the climate and soil conditions where you live are appropriate (hemp is pretty hearty, so there aren’t too many places it can’t grow with a bit of attention). You’ll want to give each plant a four-foot radius as they grow quickly.
Now, here’s where the no comes in. The farm bill that passed at the end of 2018 has mostly reopened the cultivation of hemp in the States. However, some states, like Texas, have gone about this in a much slower way… In most states, you can’t just go out and grow it–you have to obtain the proper licensing first. If you want to do this, reach out to your local Farm Service Agency or the Department of Agriculture and ask them about the regulations and procedures for growing where you live.
