Summer vacation is over and it is now time to
buckle down and get serious about your studies.
Please crack open your hydro textbooks and flip
to the chapter on mediums. We’re going to cover
traditional soil and soilless mixes, reusing media
and creating organic soil from scratch.
In addition to the medium intensive, by the
end of this month, each of you will be required
to complete a hydroponics experiment for 50%
of your grade. Flip to pages 90 and 150 where
Carmie Pasquariello and Dr. Lynette Morgan help
you get started with classroom hydroponics.
If you haven’t already guessed, this issue’s
themes are Media Madness and Back to School
(just in time for fall). Wisdom is
born out of knowledge and
experience, which is why it’s
important to never stop reading
or doing. Whether growing is your hobby or
you’re trying to turn a profit, you should always
be striving to improve. The industry experts—
who contributed articles this month on feeding
for flavor, DIY hybrid hydro systems and strange
and unusual gardening tips and techniques—are
all for helping you grow better and bigger.
This issue we highlighted an abundance of new
products to help you grow. We’ve filled over 10
pages with over 40 product profiles
