Hydroponic Grower Workshop

Starting at: $595.00

Hydroponic Grower Training Workshop

2 Attendees for ONLY $595

CropKing's Grower Training Workshop is an intensive two day training program for the new or prospective grower, or for anyone interested in increasing their knowledge of commercial hydroponic production. Our workshops are held at various grower locations throughout the USA. Enjoy classroom training from our experienced Horticulturist, as well as hands-on training in a full-scale hydroponic production greenhouse. Learn how to test pH and EC, pollinate tomato plants, transplant lettuce, and how to use the various equipment in the greenhouse.

While the classroom workshop material is consistent from location to location, different types of growing systems and their greenhouses will influence the available training. Plant management in a tomato house is similar to other vine crops with the main difference in nutrient feeding and crop maintenance (which is primarily covered in the lecture part of the workshop). Lettuce and herb growers have different systems and plant management requirements compared to vine crop growers. All workshops will focus on hydroponic production, regardless of the greenhouse grower's actual system.

A Training Workbook and Lunch for both days is included.
