Hydroponic Grower Training Workshop
Our 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.

First Day - Orientation (Optional for Prospective Growers) If you are not yet a grower but are considering hydroponics as a possible business venture, you are welcome to attend the Thursday afternoon session. This includes a tour of our greenhouse, slide presentation, and discussions on the potential for hydroponics and the various products and services available through CropKing. There is no additional charge for this portion of the Workshop. Be sure to advise us if you wish to participate in this session.
