Course Overview
Indoor hemp cultivation requires careful consideration of various environmental factors. By controlling and monitoring these environmental factors, indoor hemp growers can create a suitable growing environment that helps them achieve their agricultural goals and produce high-quality hemp products.
In this course, you will examine indoor cultivation factors and best practices depending on your agricultural goals; this includes different growing media, light and temperature, and other potential manipulation factors. The aim of controlled environment growth is to achieve specific agricultural goals, such as increased yields, improved plant health, and higher-quality hemp products.
You are required to have completed the following courses or have equivalent experience before taking this course:
- Hemp Biology
- Hemp Propagation
