At Rhizo Verified we pride ourselves in setting the Gold Standard for bulk hemp verification.
Traditionally, buyers have to trust the breeder/suppliers COA’s for purity, germination, potency, etc.
We do things differently. It's called True Lot Verification™
First, suppliers or breeders send us the entire lot they want to be verified or we travel on-site to do the testing. We use AOSA sampling procedures for the most accurate representative sample results. (Not the cherry-picked seeds from the supplier)
We independently test to meet our rigid True Verification Standards of 99% purity, 97% feminization, and 90% germination.
If it passes we’ll then package them in vacuum-sealed, moisture resistant, and FDA compliant containers. The Verified seeds are then sealed with tamper-evident tags for infallible security.

Fully Verified. This lot carries the prestigious Rhizo Verified certification. This means it’s been tested on-site at the grower to Rhizo Verified’s rigid, industry-leading premium quality standards.
