Emily Gogol is the founder and CEO of both Infinite Tree, a hemp cultivation farm, and Grow It From Home, a business selling hemp seedlings and seeds direct to consumers. She has a Ph.D. in Biomedical Sciences from University of California, San Francisco. Her love of gardening and passion for science led her to leave San Francisco to open Infinite Tree farm.

Mature plants can get large enough to comfortably use a 3 to 5 gallon pot, but initially, you can start them in something smaller and transplant again when they’ve had a chance to grow. Fill the pot with an organic soil, leaving room for the seedling to sit in the center.
Remove seedling from its plastic container and put in a whole that is deep enough to cover the entire root ball and approximately 1 inch of stem. Press firmly on the soil, but be careful not to smash the roots. If necessary, add some more soil to the pot to ensure even coverage.
Water the transplanted seedling and place in a somewhat shaded spot in your backyard until it’s had a chance to get over the transplant shock.
