It’s a couple online courses an certifications. THC university was one of websites that offer many things. I know on the east coast they’re offering for 3hr dispensary agent classes with cert. Also online webinar classes. I want to know how the community feels about this?? I sense there are a few shortcuts being made with quick training!?

How’s that mammoth working for you???
Got me thinking, who the hell has my breeders bible. I refuse to loan books out anymore. Its hard, but often they are never returned. And I do take pride in my books. I was going through my uncles bookcase once and came across my signed copy of Mr Nice which was “lost” for 4 years. Another book I am trying to get back is a signed copy of Ice Wars from Jo Pietri. I love books but sadly no more loaning out.

I totally agree with certification, even if they are taking shortcuts. What it shows to an employer is that you are serious about your career. Although I agree with @scotty17, a botany degree is going to separate the semi-pro’s with the professionals. After all weed is a plant. But any education is a good step in the right direction. Dont get me wrong, hands on practical experience is probably the best training and life experience, but degrees get you the beans/salary.

I miss Jorge Cervantes Bible… I loaned it out a year ago… The thing about it is you may specialize in cannabis but big companies are looking for degrees

That is my go to book and one of the oldest. Sits behind my desk on top of the fireplace that is never used. Used to be part of a community library I was running about 10 years ago. Really great book, but the later versions only get better.

I noticed a huge difference in nutrient uptake this run with Mammoth P , I ran my Gavita 1650 e LeD at 100% Intensity on my dimmer Master controller.Great for light hungry plants,I’m probably gonna start using Mammoth p on the regular even tho it’s pretty tax but worth it .

True but some of never got the opportunity or experience to get a college education for cannabis. We started from the black market it started behind closed doors, when people wasn’t interested in cannabis. Now since it’s becoming a social idea to expand colleges are offering courses an technology to break down the plant. I feel like the real ones who sacrificed an actually caught cases should be the first to have that college or certification. Not the ones who started with a certain major then change it because they sense a green rush

I love to garden and have done it since a child. But i must say once i really learned about the plant its amazing. I had no idea back in 1997 when i was 17 what i was doing in my friends yard and basement was so very cool. On a much more grand scale.

You never too old to get certified or get a degree. I am all for the outlaws, riff raffs and truly believe there will always be a black market. I do feel for the guys that broke their backs for the movement, but if you wanna ride the wave you have to swim. I think if you major in botany you will have a headstart career if that is your intention.

Student loans aren’t like credit cards… They don’t have interest rates… As long as you pay something each month they cant do anything… Shit pay 1$ a month… Just like if you get seriously injured with no health insurance and you get a bill for 50k… As long as you pay something each month they cant do shit

At the end of the day Anyone could say Ive grown for 15-20 -30 years + I am experienced master grower . And there could be another guy who’s only grown for three years who has a certification who has references that can verify him other than people he knows personally .
Look at it from a business owners perspective .
looking to hire someone.
who do I wanna hire the guy who claims he’s grown for 20 years ?
or somebody that has a certificate that Has references at a university that can back him on that instead of friends and family .
Who do I want to take a chance on and invest my money ?

Precisely. I think also to an employer a certification will show a potential employee is willing to go the extra mile to learn, can work in a team and willing to focus. Alot of people who get degrees and dont even work in the industry they are qualified for. A good example is engineers.
