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!

Deep Time: Discovering an Ancient Earth (Coursera)

Sci: Environment Science

Ever since our ancestors ventured onto the African savanna, human beings have searched, explored, and wondered about the world. Nowadays, and certainly for most, science is the vehicle that takes us along a path towards understanding nature. It can bring us from sub-atomic realms to the most distant galaxies. Largely through the discipline of geology, science allows us to push back the mists of time and peer into a past measured in billions of years, and aptly referred to as “Deep Time.” Climb on board!
