In this Introduction to Cannabis, you will build a foundation of cannabis production skills from classification to physiology to production management.

The Cannabis Modules are designed to provide students with an understanding of the cannabis classification system, including subspecies and varieties, and proper management practices for target compounds and products. Understanding cannabis biology and phenology is critical for proper management practices to produce terpenes, cannabinoids, fiber, and seed oil and protein, as well as the applications of those products. Furthermore, discrepancies between scientific and vernacular names of cannabis and the inconsistency of vernacular names mislead producers and consumers. These Cannabis Modules aim to equip learners with knowledge for cannabis indoor and outdoor production, classification of subspecies and varieties, biology, and more!
