Hydroponic Grower Training WorkshopOur workshops are scheduled and held at various grower locations throughout the USA. 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 quite 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 as listed in the below schedule.
