Anatomy and Physiology of the Cannabis Plant
The cannabis plant’s structures, parts, how to identify them, and the functions that each one will be examined. The differences between male and female A&P and their reproductive processes will be emphasized.
Horticulture 103
Basics of Soil Science and Organics
The course presents a basic overview of the complex world that lives underneath the soil. This is coupled with a review of microbials, soil types, the soil food web and how these concepts correlate with plant physiology. This is followed by an examination of the key differences between synthetic/conventional and organic horticultural inputs, especially as they relate to the above soil science concepts. Additionally this course presents a brief history of organic methodologies and the advent of commercial/synthetic crop production through the lens of global history and industrialization. The class concludes with a thorough discussion of cannabis regulations and allowed inputs in commercial markets across the United States.

Seeds and Cuttings
The beautiful plants we grow began as seeds, but some begin as cuttings. Determine when and why to use seeds instead of cuttings, and the pros/cons of their different applications. This is the beginning of the process. See up close seeds and learn to sprout them. Understand what helps ensure successful cuttings and learn to properly propagate and root a cutting properly. Receive a hands-on demonstration for the OU method of germinating a seed and taking a cutting.
Horticulture 105
Conditions for Optimal Growth
Conditions for optimal growth in cannabis means that all required factors are fully available at all times and in the appropriate ratios. Learn about the specific factors for optimal growth, including CO2 enrichment, PAR conservation via reflection, temperature and humidity parameters, and optimal nutrient levels. Review strategies for achieving these conditions and the major hurdles that are usually encountered in the path to that goal.
Horticulture 106
Land Preparation for Outdoor or Greenhouse
A thorough examination of the basic setup, land clearing and preparation needed to start an outdoor cultivation site. This lecture also looks at the different types of cannabis cultivation modalities from pots to raised beds and the benefits/issues of each method. Garden designs for various climates as well as water sourcing, site protection, and amendment and soil sourcing for sustainability. Road maintenance, off-grid solutions and proper tree pruning are also presented.

Irrigation Watering and Dosing Systems
This course is an overview of the sourcing, pumping and storage of water for cultivation. An overview of current regulatory issues and concerns revolving around the use of water on cannabis crops is also presented. Environmental responsibility and water contamination issues are discussed, especially as they relate to outdoor cannabis production. Different storage methods for water are depicted along with the basic components of an irrigation system. Various filtration and water discharge methods are examined, through the lens of the unique needs of any given cultivation site.
Horticulture 108
Vegetative and Flowering Cycles
The vegetative growth cycle is when your plant charges forward towards building the structure needed for your optimal yield. The plant has unique needs during this phase as well as potential challenges, so taking a thoughtful approach to the handling of this process is critical for your success. Strategies and best practices will be discussed and evaluated.
The first several weeks of flowering requires specific observation. Learn how you ensure that growth is progressing at the rate that it should be. Understand the environmental conditions and nutrient requirements at this stage. A review of timeframes for canopy management and trellising will also be discussed.
Horticulture 109
Harvesting Strategies
Cannabis flowers achieve peak ripeness for a short period of time in which it needs to be harvested. A narrow range of temperature and humidity is required for them to dry within the proper period of time and to prevent molds from destroying them. Understand the difference between wet trimming vs dry trimming. Review the different approaches to harvesting a crop of cannabis and the environmental conditions needed to properly dry, process and store cannabis flowers. Learn the importance of collecting all resin glands during this process, and the options for making them into secondary products such as bubble hash or BHO.
