The three different parts of hemp — the seeds, leaves, and fibrous stalks — are processed in different ways. What are you trying to process your hemp into? That will really end up determining which process you use!

You essentially process hemp the same way you process a fiber like cotton. They are surprisingly similar in processes!

I guess it depends on how you are trying to process it and what you’re trying to turn it into. Are you trying to turn it into paper? Into a supplement? Into hemp-crete? Depending on what you’re trying to do the entire process A-Z is going to be wildly different.

It depends on the intended use…
Generally, the plants are cut or pulled with the roots, then hung to dry.
If the floral matter is going to be used, it is separated from the stalks and leaves, then packaged.
If you will be making oil, you will harvest the floral, then potentially homogenize with chopped leaves and stems to meet THC thresholds.
It all depends on the intended use; most things you can do manually on your own, but I would recommend obtaining a processor

This is quite a hard question to answer as many if not all hemp growers, use processing machines that harvest each part of the hemp plant. What I can offer: hemp is processed in separate parts; seeds, leaves, and stalk. This is done because each part is used for different manufactured goods.
