Growing Cannabis

We are partnering with Okanagan College to offer a first “appetizer” course that will help you understand the new industry coming into our area.  The larger curriculum is being developed as we speak but this short 6 hour course is ready to go.

AGR 201 Growing Your Own Cannabis – November 26, 2018 – $170.00 + GST                                                    

Are you interested in growing your own cannabis plants? Growing your own cannabis and being self-sufficient is possible.  You will no longer be dependent on others, you can control the quality of the cannabis and you’ll also have a new and fun hobby. 

Before you flex that green thumb of yours, understand that growing cannabis indoors or outdoors presents a unique set of challenges and the sheer volume of information available on this subject can be overwhelming.  This course provides key information for selecting seeds or clones, equipment requirements and the process of growing cannabis while adhering to the legal regulations.

** Please note: Students must be 19 years of age or older. **

Learning Outcomes

  • Compare the pros and cons of growing cannabis indoors or outdoors
  • Review the current Federal, Provincial and Municipal regulations for growing your own cannabis
