Industrial Hemp has been used for thousands of years and for hundreds of purposes. Though it has made somewhat of a comeback since the implementation of the Industrial Hemp program in1997, changes in the Canadian regulations under the new Cannabis Act now make it possible to extract the medicine from Hemp crops and will potentially permit outdoor cultivation of high THC Cannabis. For farmers, the possibility of gaining an additional revenue stream or growing a higher value crop is very attractive. Furthermore, the funding now being directed toward hemp production will allow us to solve many of the issues surrounding cultivation, harvesting, processing and marketing this crop. There are several methods used for farming hemp and different cultivars are being created for a variety of purposes and climates. Dr. Hudson will cover some of the recent advances in the Hemp breeding and farming techniques as well as highlight the future of outdoor cultivation.

Presentation
Nowadays the production of medicinal cannabis is switching from indoor facilities to greenhouses. The advantages of using natural sources such as light are large and drastically reduces energy consumption. There are also challenges, controlling the climate in a greenhouse requires different techniques and growth strategy.
The presentation will be focusing on climate control and plant behaviour, we will talk about growing strategies.
We will discuss subjects as:
Humidity control and temperature, Light, screens, irrigation/water management.
We will mainly focus on the climate and how that increases production and keeping plants more healthy.

Panel Discussion
You knew the end of prohibition wouldn’t come without fine print. Indeed, “legalized” cannabis may arguably be more regulated than ever. Cultivating companies will need to provide background checks from top to bottom. Outdoor growing has a code of security requirements that some say make it prohibitively expensive. Potency has yet to be properly addressed. Will some genetics still be illegal? And what the heck is a “micro-cultivation license” anyway? The grey areas are endless. But the expertise on this panel can help lead you safely through the maze.

Panel Discussion
An industry is born, and it just got real. “Compassion growers” who started with a few lights are suddenly in the commercial game with thousands of them. A plant that seemed easy to grow when you were dealing with a dozen, requires high-tech lighting, irrigation and systems engineering when you’re working out of a full warehouse. There are a handful of go-to companies with top-to-bottom facility expertise in facility creation and management. They’ve seen major successes and brutal mistakes, and, in this panel, they’ll share insights that could set you up from the ground up.

Presentation
Environmental permitting of greenhouse operations can be a significant task, and one that producers considering this market should have an appreciation for. This presentation will discuss the regulatory framework around Water, Sewage, and Air permitting for Greenhouse facilities, who the approval agencies are, what they are looking for, and what timelines can be associated with getting permits in place.
