Participants will engage in a series of seven hands-on learning labs covering the basics of soilless media production, monitoring soil health, basics of plant nutrition and how to create a fertility management plan, how to monitor plant health, and best nutrient diagnosis practices, as well as how to interpret leaf tissue analysis.
