Grow schools

Greetings, anyone reading this. This is something I've had floating around in my head for a while, the idea of teaching at some kind of hydroponic school. I haven't found too many of them out there. I have found a few schools, but it seems like most of them are low tech, ie, "organic soil", etc. No co2, no hydro, none of what I do. I want to get away from the risk of growing, I don't want to run a commercial op, I don't want to register with any type of government. I want to do this in the Denver area. And I am fully aware I don't know everything, I know I would learn myself, too. I would love to continuously do experiments in a class type environment. I would also not be trying to get rich by doing this, I would do this mostly for my love of cannabis. I would not be teaching anything to do with large commercial ops, just info beneficial to the small legal home grower, as allowed by Colorado law.

Anyway, I'm just wondering what you guys think of this idea. Do you think anyone would actually pay to go to any type of school like this?

Thanks for any input at all.

Most definitley a market for this. Especially if it is a teacher with a lot of knowledge and practice.. I`d pay to become a pro grower.. Much more fun then reading a bunch of book.s

Atleast if you learn by doing, instead of getting books..

Yes, good idea, I wish I had a class to go to when I had to learn myself everything 10 years ago!

College horticultural degree is a great start.

If you want a teacher, schools exist and consultants are available.

I'm pretty sure most well funded hort programs now have at least one course in hydroponics if not a lab/practicum in hydro as well. But, oaksterdam has been operating successfully so im sure the market could bear more schools, and the demand looks to be on the upswing as well
best of luck!

Colorado State University is growing MJ as we speak.
They are also the first university in the nation to offer bachelors degrees in beer making. (I don't remember what the official degree is called)
I know a young man who is one of the first students in the program.

I expect MJ to become part of some curriculums offered in more progressive thinking schools.
It's just a matter of time, but I for one, can't wait for the day when actual professors start to dispel many myths and practices surrounding growing MJ and start to contribute to the science of growing MJ.
Would love to see some lab results and tests regarding residuals from flushing vs not flushing etc. for example.

Agreed. Testing by non biased, credible entities is a good thing.

Nice to see you guys think it is basically a sound idea. I didn't know Colorado State University was growing cannabis, that's interesting. But I think a lot of the people who are interested in growing may not be at that place in their life anymore. ie, not 22 years old anymore. Haha. So I think, and I hope there will be a demand for schools of the cannabis only variety. And I really hope I can be part of that, I think that would be really cool.
