HEMP COMPLIANCE TESTING

According to the State’s Pre-Harvest Sampling Manual, pre-harvest samples from each Lot must be collected by the Department or its
agent (Americanna Labs) to ensure that the Total delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol does not exceed 0.3% on a dry weight basis.

• No earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the harvest date, the Department or its agent shall collect hemp clippings from each Lot to be harvested according to the representative sample table for Total delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration.
• The Americanna sampler will collect a minimum of 1 clipping per acre of appropriate length (5 to 8 inches) and must be taken from the top of the plant’s primary or main stem, including leaves and flowers, the terminal flower at the end of the stem, and the central cola that could develop into flowers at the top of the plant. Np stalks, stems, flowers, seeds, or leaves will be removed from the clipping.
• The Cannabis Sample Submission Form, FDACS-08114, Rev. 04/21, will be stapled to the paper bag containing the representative sample and sealed with tamper resistant tape.
• Each representative sample with the attached Cannabis Sample Submission Form will be placed in the mail or delivered to the lab for analysis within one business day of collection.
• Analytical Lab Test Reports will be submitted to FDACS DPI typically within 48 hours. The main cultivator contact will be copied on all communications.
