Learn How to Grow Your Own Cannabis Plants
Sallie Reed, an artisan cultivator with 40 years of growing experience, will give attendees a hands-on approach to growing. What she teaches on Saturday will depend on class size, who is there, what the average level of experience is, etc., so bring your questions and don’t be shy! The more you put in with Reed, the more you’ll get out of it. What you can expect to learn are: Different stages of growing; nutrient and light needs at each stage; different cannabis strains and requirements for each stage; growing mediums, container types, nutrient brands, (toxin-free) pest control; processing flowers; drying times; trimming styles and cloning techniques. Oh and the best part of all is that each student gets some seeds to plant and grow at home! Probably doesn’t get much better than that.
