Cannabis Career Institute To Conduct All Day Seminar in Boca Raton This Saturday To promote Jobs and Business Opportunities In The Growing Cannabis Industry

posted in: Hemp Business News, Industrial Hemp | 0

Burbank, California (PRWEB) February 06, 2015

Earlier this week, Cannabis Career Institute announced a partnership with the Global Hemp Group (GHG) that will significantly broaden the educational spectrum for CCI students. Specifically, GHG will provide its hemp industry-leading expertise in expanding the CCI curriculum to include coursework on hemp economics, business opportunities, building materials, food & nutrition, cultivation, genetics, processing, and bio-composites.

GHG staff will soon be scheduled to speak at CCI classes on the business of hemp and the entrepreneurial opportunities available in the hemp industry.

“CCI Seminar interest from cannabis-minded businessmen and women all over the country has been tremendous and with our new affiliation with the Global Hemp Group, it will only increase,” said Robert Calkin, CEO and Founder of Cannabis Career Institute. “As both the cannabis and hemp legalization movements continue to envelope the nation, more and more people are seeing the exciting and potentially lucrative business opportunities available. Helping people understand these vibrant, vanguard industries and preparing them to pursue their goals is what we do.”

“There is no other industry on the planet right now that is growing as rapidly as the cannabis business,” added Gary Lane, CCI’s Sales and Marketing Director. “If someone is looking for a career in marijuana or wants to learn how the industry works, the one-day CCI workshop is an excellent primer. Not only does one receive valuable instruction and information but what also usually happens is a “class-bonding” dynamic.

More often than not, students of each of the classes form their own networking and support group that turns into a valuable and life-long resource.”

Cannabis Career Institute specializes in teaching would-be entrepreneurs how to navigate the often-murky waters of starting up a cannabis business.

CCI presents students with an objective expanse of options with step-by-step instruction on the process of starting a business. Delivery, Dispensary Management, Law, Compliance, Marketing and Advertising, Cultivation, Extracts and Cooking are all discussed in detail, providing students with many choices to fit their career goals and lifestyle.

Cost for the one day seminar, that also allows for students to attend any future class for free, is $ 349 and includes a seminar manual. CCI is scheduled to return to Boca Raton on Saturday, April 11.

As seen on CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX, the Huffington Post, and more, Cannabis Career Institute was the first cannabis seminar training program ever offered and is the most successful of its kind.

Marijauana School Cannabis Career Institute comes to Florida, California and Pennsylvania

posted in: Cannabis News, Hemp | 0

(PRWEB) December 07, 2014

The Cannabis Career Institute is teaching eager business entrepreneurs in Florida, Pennsylvania, and California. Classes will be held on December 14th in Orlando at the Sheraton Suites Orlando Airport, Philadelphia at the Clarian Hotel and Conference Center, and San Diego at the California Hampton Inn. Classes run one day from 9-7 with a one-time entry fee that grants access to all classes offered nationally.

In the 2014 fall elections Fox announced Florida missed the 60% needed to pass the medical marijuana program. This does not deter advocates from fighting for legalization nor companies using this time to become established. Pennsylvania is on the waiting list for the legislative vote for medical legalization, however a draft medical marijuana program has been created outlining the basic elements. As seen on NORML’s website California was the first state to legalize medical marijuana in 1996 and looks to legalize recreational use within the next two years.

Instructors cover what it takes to run certain cannabis companies such as dispensaries, growing operations, baking edibles and more. Each class adheres to the state in which it is being taught addressing the unique laws on hemp and cannabis. Following the East Coast Cannabis Expo in New York City CCI has gained more supporters such as Governor Diane Savino who sponsored the event and spoke on the many benefits medical marijuana would provide for the country.

The North Hollywood based Cannabis Career Institute has been teaching thousands of entrepreneurs skills needed to succeed in the marijuana industry. Facilitators with years of experience in the business will teach students the basic start up of a company including marketing, business models and relevant laws and regulations. CCI has spoken to NBC, CBS and Huffington Post among many others about how their classes have spread nationally offering the first seminars of their kind.

CCI continues to expand working with other advocacy groups offering information at classes, conventions, and online. To enroll into the institute there’s a one time all access fee of $ 299 with classes year around nationally.

Four Things That Will Help Buy Cannabis Seeds Online Safely

posted in: Medical Marijuana Zone | 0

by Mishimoto

A lot of people think that it is safer to buy cannabis seeds online than from someone near your area. Well, this is definitely true, but you also need to make sure that your purchase will be much safer. Today, I will be showing you some of the things that you need to consider in order to keep you safe when you buy cannabis seeds online. Reading this article will help you learn the significant accounts that you need to take into consideration before buying your greens.

Site Security – if you are going to buy cannabis online, then it is more likely that you are going to use your credit card. Make sure that the website where you will purchase your seeds are fully secured in order to be sure that your credit card information will be safe. It would be better if you are going to get your seeds from a website that accepts other payment methods.

Delivery Discretion – of course, you don’t want the whole neighborhood to find out that you are purchasing cannabis, so you need to make sure that the website will protect your privacy and will ship your orders secretly. It would be better if you are going to contact the online store to determine the kind of shipment that they are implementing before you purchase cannabis online.

Disclaimer and Legality – in most countries (almost all) growing cannabis to sell or even for recreational purposes is prohibited. If you are going to buy seeds, you need to make sure that the website has its disclaimer and abides the law. This will ensure that you will always be safe when you buy cannabis seeds online.

Your Location – your location will also play a great role in your safety when you buy seeds online. If you are living in a country where mere possession of seeds is prohibited, then you definitely need to avoid or even attempt to buy cannabis seeds online. Regardless of how discreet the packaging is, you will still have problems if your country implements strict laws regarding possession or use of cannabis.

These are some of the things that you need to check in order to be sure that you will be safe when you buy cannabis seeds online. Keep these things in mind because this will help you avoid getting into troubles in the future. Always remember that your safety is more important than getting the seeds that you need.

LED vs. HID Grow Lights – Cannabis Grower’s Dilemma

posted in: Hemp Accessories, US Hemp Co | 1

by Mishimoto

Until recently, indoor growers only had traditional mechanisms of indoor hydroponic growing with high heat bulbs such as high pressure sodium, metal halide, and more recently, compact fluorescent. The light bulb would provide massive amounts of light, measured in lumens, to replicate the sunlight necessary for photosynthesis which drives vegetative growth and flowering. These lighting sources provide white light, which is the combination of all the colors in the visible spectrum put together. The problem with these traditional lighting sources is that they are inherently inefficient and waste a great deal of energy in the form of excess heat and light in the visible spectrum which is not beneficial to indoor growing. For example, the green spectra is not necessary for photosynthesis as green light is reflected and does nothing to the plants (green light bulbs are good to use when you need to enter your grow room during the sleep cycle of your plants because they will not be detected by the plants).

Although different plants have different lighting requirements (orchids have different light needs than cannabis plants), most plants flourish with only a limited range of light – reds, orange, and blues. This is because various processes and chemicals involved in photosynthesis respond most readily to these bands of light. Unfortunately, only about 15 percent of light emitted by HID/CFL bulbs is available in the bands of light needed for photosynthesis.

This is where LED technology makes the photosynthesis of indoor grown plants a more efficient process. Hydroponic LED lights concentrate their diode ratio around the reds, oranges and blues, along with the weighted value of other spectra needed to get the optimal blend for a particular plant. By concentrating on the wavelengths actually needed for photosynthesis, LED growlights can save a tremendous amount of energy as compared to high pressure sodium bulbs. This is why a 300 to 400 watt LED growlight can replace an entire 1000 watt high pressure sodium or metal halide system. Furthermore, the LED grow light does not need a ballast assembly because the power supplies are built into the panel. If you start adding up all the capital and operational savings, it is easy to see why LED grow lights are becoming the future of hydroponic gardening.

Cheap LEDs – Mislead by the 225 LED Panel

Many growers shy away from LED grow lights because of all the chatter in the forums and blogs about cheap LED grow lights which simply do not work. These growers have a right to be concerned. Even though LED technology for growing has been proven by NASA, the research community and professional and hobbyist growers alike, one has to be careful to purchase a light strong enough for the desired grow space. Some of the first LED grow lights that came to market were the 225 LED Panels which retailed for $ 30-60. These panels had diodes in a square pattern of 15 rows by 15 columns with a total of 225 LEDs. The problem was that the diodes were less than 1/10th of a watt of power each, yielding a total power draw of only 13.8 watts for the entire panel. The 13.8 watts is simply not enough power for the intent of indoor hydroponic cannabis growing.

The misleading name, 225 LED made it seem like the panel was 225 watts but in reality those cheap LED panels were only a fraction thereof. In order to be successful with LED grow lights, and adequate amount of power is needed for a given grow space. A 90 watt LED grow light will provide adequate coverage for 1 mature plant, a 300-400 watt LED grow lights will provide adequate coverage for a 4 foot by 4 foot grow space, a 600 watt LED grow light will provide adequate coverage for a 5 foot by 5 foot grow space.

With the correct LED grow light, professional and hobbyist growers alike are enjoying the multitude of benefits that come with LED technology. As the industry evolves and more growers share their experiences, LED indoor grow lights are becoming the system of choice that more and more growers are turning to!
