Training Sessions #1.
Learn the seven (7) phases of building an indoor facility and 'Perpetual Revenue' Models, from cultivation to harvest --
from processing to distribution.
MASTERY
The Art and Science of GREENHOUSE/INDOOR growing module is designed for those who are completely committed to achieving the very highest standards in this emerging and profitable industry. Committed to developing world class venues that are hygienically built to produce the finest possible cannabinoid Hemp plants.
The Growers who will WIN big in the indoor sector, are the ones who simply commit to nothing less than excellence!
With 10-years of indoor master grow experience, Lorenzo leads Southern Hempisphere hemp company that has one of the most talented and diverse group of experts in the industry. Lorenzo and his team has built a 6,000 square-foot indoor facility, that’s producing some of the most in-demand organic cannabinoid flowers in the business.
Designing an indoor efficient facility to grow cannabinoid industrial hemp must have a well thought-out plan. Without a specific plan the cost of the project will escalate far above the budget, in addition to the consideration all the requirements outlined in the regulations prepared by the governing body and the regulations of the municipality where the facility(s) will be constructed.
In addition, the plan needs to cover…
Location assessment, Enclosed warehouse building or greenhouse, Size of facility, Number of rooms for veg, flowering, clones, mother plants, etc., HVAC or other heating and cooling methods (Earth Batteries), Need for odor control, Ventilation, Evaporative Pad Systems, Chilled water systems, Humidification - Dehumidification systems, Growing method (pots on the ground or on benches, troughs, flood trays, etc), CO2 dosing, Irrigation requirements fertilizer tea recipes, the need for RO water purification, Lighting (HPS, MH, LED, florescent, induction, etc. ), Supplemental lighting in a greenhouse, Shade and blackout system for photoperiod for greenhouse growers, Computer controls, Maximizing use of available space, Moving rack system, Site security, testing labs, storage, packaging, shipping etc.
Hemp Geo Institute is proud to have Lorenzo share his knowledge with all of you at the November 17th symposium.
The Lighting Code
One of the Most Important Capital Investments
You will learn critical information to one of your most important and costly aspects to Indoor Medicinal Hemp growing… Lighting. HGI utilizes testing procedures to determine efficacy of different lighting fixtures for multiple growing environments. Hemp Geo Institute will not make lighting recommendations to clients without the proper data. One bad mistake in lighting decisions can cost grower’s thousands of dollars.
HGI is excited to have Fullbloom Light Dep Greenhouses specialist, Damond Martin teach at the November 17th event, about what they have learned in growing cannabinoid hemp and cannabis in blackout greenhouses. With their years of experience in the hemp and cannabis sector, their greenhouses operate effectively in extreme climates engineered for all 50 States and Canada.
Many growers are switching to auto light-dep greenhouse growing systems and Damond will cover the fundamentals and why it's a growing trend when growing cannabinoid hemp. By utilizing blackout greenhouse systems, growers are able to automate and control their growing environment for successful multiple harvest per year.
With light deprivation and automated environmental controls, growers can yield outdoor sized production with indoor quality product, all while reducing overhead costs and power consumption. Growers need to understand the effect on their Geo location when growing in humid climates, however dry desert climates have their own challenges.
Any area where a greenhouse is located comes with its own special climate challenges to overcome.To overcome these challenges takes research, planning, and with the complete understanding of the type of strains you are growing.
With the correct covering and ventilation techniques, you can create a greenhouse that adjusts to the ideal temperature, diffuses light, and eliminates condensation. This type of growing system allows the 'best-practice' strategies to be employed to better control mold and pathogens caused by excess humidity, in addition to any environment you are exposed to.
With careful research, thorough planning, and the right equipment, you can have a flourishing light deprivation greenhouse even in the hottest, most humid, or driest climates!
Tiffany is one of the smartest and most popular event leaders. Tiffany has spoken at several symposiums and has personally growing and harvested several acres of cannabinoid hemp this year. Tiffany will be covering Organic Feeding, Composting & Microbiology.
Growing consistent world-class hemp requires both Art and Science. This approach includes an understanding of environmental controls, pest management, nutrient uptake, lighting, soil health, and watering systems and so much more.
Hemp Geo Institute trainers and experts can prevent you from easily falling victim to costly mistakes and imbalances that will reduce your yield, quality and consistency. Small mistakes can cost you a substantial amount of money and can be avoided with proper training.
