(1) The general requirements for seed certification found in WAC 16-302-005 through 16-302-130 of the genetic and crop standards apply to (are basic) all crops, and together with the following specific standards, constitute the standards for certification of hemp transplants (including seedlings and plugs).

(2) All certified transplants must be grown from a class of certified seed or certified clones. Proof of seed/clone eligibility shall be established by providing either a certified tag/label with invoice showing the lot number and pounds received or documentation of clone propagation under clone standards found in the hemp section of the AOSCA Seed Certification Handbook published in June 2020. This section of the handbook will be provided by the department upon request.

(3) Seed coated or pelleted by nonapproved conditioners will not be eligible for certification.

(4) All containers must be labeled in a manner that maintains the source, identity, and certification eligibility of the transplants. All containers offered for sale must be identified by the official seed certification tag/label. The tag/label must be affixed (stapled, for example) to trays so tags/labels are not misplaced.
