Growing 2011: Hydroponic Peppers

Baselga, Yellow Variety

Our greenhouse hydroponic peppers are grown vertically on two main stems,
 wrapped around twine and standing 30 ft. tall

Canadian Greenhouse Conference 2011


I had a great time at the Conference. There are several days you can attend, but most growers working full-time will choose one day to attend that best suits their interests, but minimizes their time away from the greenhouse.
 
Speaker Talks are 1/2 - 1 hour long

The day that I chose, I was able to meet up with some affiliates of mine, co-workers, and professors from College and other alumni, it worked out perfectly. The speaker sessions are always featuring really great leaders in the industry, and I always find something that interests me.
