#master grower

A master grower is essentially an informal/unofficial certification or status within the legal cannabis industry. It is conferred by many different organisations both in classroom settings and also online to help prepare individuals to oversee all the aspects of a marijuana growing enterprise. In simple words, the title is handed down by the peers in the industry, rather than a governing institution or equivalent.

The master growers must not only be well versed and also experienced in the micro grow process of cannabis but they should also be generally educated in the fields of horticulture, agriculture and/or botany. Several organizations and companies that hire master growers tend to expect that they will be able to handle each and every aspect of the growing right from designing the space to figuring out what equipment is needed and what is not. Composing the growing protocols, and may even be responsible for hiring all of the staff that would ultimately report to him or her.

Currently, there is no standardized master grower program or any set of universally recognized skills that a master grower must possess. There are also no accredited institutions of higher education that confer the title of master grower onto anyone.

The status of a master grower may or may not be needed by all the companies or individuals who are looking to hire someone to oversee their growing operation.

A proven combination of horticultural skills in the field or greenhouse setting, an acumen for making sound business decisions, and also an understanding of growing cannabis will often be able to substitute for any document touting one as a master grower.

Likewise, a person can, with experience, assume the role of a master grower among many other growers, unofficially, by simply taking charge of the grow and being the troubleshooter.

If you have a grow room that is operated by a sole individual, that person may or may not simply refer to themselves as a master grower, by default.
