SUMMARY:Home Cannabis Cultivation
DESCRIPTION:Growing your own cannabis at home is a rewarding and fascinating hobby. Whether you’re aiming for a high-THC yield or just want to grow one of the most interesting plants out there (that grows like a weed)\, with some basic gardening know-how\, you can nurture plants from seed to flower and harvest your own high-quality cannabis. \nThis class introduces the fundamentals of cultivating cannabis responsibly and successfully on a small scale (which is legal in Minnesota for adults 21+). Participants will learn how to design a home grow that fits their space\, schedule\, and experience level. We’ll cover plant life cycles\, lighting and soil basics\, watering and feeding\, and how to identify and manage common issues and pests. By the end of the class\, you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to begin your own grow with care and curiosity. \nAll are welcome – WEI classes are open to everyone. \nInstructor Bio: Charlie Zieke (they/them) is a farmer\, artist\, and mulching enthusiast with a decade of non-profit and educational experience. Along with their partner Relle\, they operate Magic Acre Farm\, a permaculture land project and CSA that raises more-than-organic veggies\, flowers\, and chicken eggs. Charlie runs Zieke Design\, a small creative studio that supports farmers\, artists\, and organizations of all sizes with visual storytelling.
