Light, Lamps, and Electricity Program
When it comes to indoor cannabis cultivation, optimizing your grow room’s lighting and electrical setup is crucial for achieving a successful harvest while minimizing utility costs. The Light, Lamps, and Electricity Program is designed to guide cultivators through the intricacies of creating an efficient and safe lighting environment for cannabis plants.
Understanding the types of lighting systems available is the first step toward an optimized grow room. High-Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps, such as Metal Halide (MH) and High Pressure Sodium (HPS), have long been the standard due to their high output in lumens, crucial for plant growth. However, advancements in LED technology have introduced a viable, energy-efficient alternative, offering a full spectrum of light essential for both vegetative and flowering stages while producing less heat and consuming less power.
The program emphasizes the importance of not only selecting the right lighting system but also understanding the energy consumption associated with indoor cultivation. Factoring in the vegetative and flowering phases, which require different light cycles, further complicates electricity cost calculations.
Moreover, the setup goes beyond just choosing the right lights. Proper installation includes ensuring that the grow space is light-tight to prevent light leakage, which can disrupt plant growth cycles and lead to energy waste. Reflective materials and strategic placement of lights play a crucial role in maximizing light efficiency, directing every bit of light toward the plants to enhance growth without unnecessary waste.
The program guides participants through setting up their grow rooms, from selecting an appropriate space that facilitates easy access to power and water while minimizing noise and ensuring safety, to configuring the space to optimize light distribution and plant growth. Whether using a whole room, a grow tent, or a converted space, this maximizes the most of your chosen setup.
This comprehensive approach ensures that participants are well-equipped to make informed decisions about their grow room setup, from selecting the most suitable lighting system to understanding and managing electricity consumption, all aimed at achieving an efficient, safe, and productive indoor cannabis cultivation operation.

Need some answers?
Do you offer a free trial of your cannabis training?
Yes! We offer a 90-day “Free Trial” (click here) so you can “test-drive” our platform and know what to expect in our eLearning solutions when it comes to our online “micro-learning” format. If you need your trial to last longer than 90-days or if you need more time to test our eLearning solutions… you can always START your free trial again by simply re-enrolling.
How do I log in to access my cannabis training?
Monthly! But don’t feel like you have to consume everything the moment it’s released… everything NEW that we create is published from the “Platform Roadmap” (click here) into our solutions, so there’s no rush or pressure to access it in “real-time.” Think of us as your always-available, training library… there’s a reason why we’re called “Netflix for Cannabis”…
Are you an accredited cannabis education provider?
Yes! Yet… it VARIES so much. For example, we’re accredited by Alaska’s Marijuana Control Board to provide their “Marijuana Handler Permit,” Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation to provide their required “Responsible Vendor” compliance training, and others… see our “About Us” (click here) page for accreditations and memberships.
And 99% of our training applies to ANY country or jurisdiction (ex. Canada, Europe Australia, etc.) since our team publishes all our education “agnostically” (or “white-labeled”) so our eLearning solutions really apply to anyone that needs cannabis education… you must understand “English” (our “native language”) that’s really the only criterion to get started.
Our team is always creating new accredited curricula with our Subject Matter Experts who are industry professionals in their respective fields of study. The industry is still developing and there is no universal accreditation (ex. Department of Education, etc.), but we expect to see this change in the NEAR future and realize the vital role that accreditation plays.
Do you offer team training for my cannabis business?
Yes! We provide a total eLearning solution, so you can EASILY train your team in a way that will provide you with a “turn-key” solution for your whole team at an affordable price. It’s called “Headquarters” (click here), “HQ” for short, and how we become an “extension of your team” to increase your profitability ($$$), ensure you’re compliant and reduce your risks.
We have clients from dozens of countries around the globe utilizing our eLearning solutions since 99% of our training applies to ANY country (as long as you speak English is our only current limitation). We have been trusted for years by companies around the world and we’re endorsed by the leaders that are driving the cannabis industry forward so if there’s training missing that you need then we will publish it via our “Platform Roadmap” (click here).
We’ve built a best-in-class Learning Management System (LMS) that can be customized to your business from one centralized dashboard, allowing you to create learning plans for your teams, then track and assess everyone’s activities with analytics. Whether you want your team to perform better, to make better STRATEGIC decisions, or for new staff to learn quickly… they will be equipped with credible knowledge and industry skills needed for your business.
How will your cannabis industry training help me?
It depends! Being an expert in the industry’s most valuable ASSET. It will create meaningful relationships with your peers and develop your knowledge to apply new skills. Proper training pays for itself over time and what you will learn makes you truly irreplaceable.
Our training itself is highly valuable if you need to set yourself apart from the competition in the cannabis industry. What’s far MORE valuable than any certificate, however, is the actual knowledge you’re going to receive when you take our training and pass all the assessments. You will learn everything about cannabis that you need to know, and we’ll say that again:
You will KNOW the cannabis industry, but it really depends on who you are…
- If you’re a “cannabis lover,“ this training will set you apart from others who merely have read information online or have no cannabis knowledge, it is specialized training that you want today and lovingly seek to learn more about cannabis.
- If you’re an industry professional, we can help set you apart from your peers and make you more valuable to your company. This is the surest way to get a raise or promotion that you likely already deserve (but don’t have a tangible reason to ask).
- If you provide ancillary services, our eLearning solutions are a tangible way to show that you understand and know the industry, which helps you attract better, higher-paying clients to bolster your revenue and make a “bottom-line” impact.
- If you’re a manager or business owner, this training is a great way to learn on-demand for yourself. We are your “Headquarters” (click here) and a great way to train team members so they’re up to speed on the latest trends and best practices.
Does your cannabis training meet accessibility legal requirements?
Yes! One of the biggest challenges that learners face today is “Accessibility” in all of their eLearning solutions and why we started our “Industry Impact Program” (click here) to make this change. Unlike most of our competitors (which do have great content), we are VERY different and sensitive to disabilities so we provide closed-captioning (sub-titles) for hearing-impaired and screen readers for those visually-impaired who want to learn about cannabis.
Our platform is composed of a complex system with many parts and its development is always evolving so “Accessibility” is NOT a state. It is a process of continuous improvement in response to our learners and our wider technical environment. We have worked extensively to meet “Accessibility” standards. Here are the details of how we meet those requirements:
- United States: “American Disability Act” (Section 508) is required so that information and technology are accessible to anyone with disabilities.
- Canada: The “Accessible Canada Act” aims to benefit all citizens, especially those individuals with disabilities, by helping to create barrier-free accessibility.
- Europe (EU): The “European Accessibility Act” used by EU governments and universities, aims to improve the cannabis trade and remove country-specific rules.
- Australia: The “Disability Discrimination Act” applies to organizations developing online resources so there is no discrimination against people with disabilities.
- WCAG 2.0: Used when deciding how to present content for the best web accessibility, these guidelines are always followed when we develop any media.
- ATAG 2.0: Guidelines to construct content (as well as consume online content) and help to improve the accessibility of the media that our team produces.
- ARIA 1.0: As many parts of the user interface are dynamic and interactive, we follow these recommendations to utilize assistive technologies (ex. screen-readers).
What is your online cannabis training format like?
Interactive! Our training is designed in a “micro-learning” format that is typically completed in less than a one (1) hour period, but you will find some longer ones too. “Micro-learning” is a HOLISTIC approach for skill-based learning that deals with relatively small learning units that are short-term-focused strategies specifically designed for skill-based training needed. We always recommend trying our “Free Trial” (click here) to get an idea of our online format.
And our team of educational technologists, Instructional Designers, and Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) strive to provide you with the best industry training and eLearning solutions available. With their peer-reviewed citations as leading experts, scientists, doctors, and educators… we always provide the best learning experience. Request new training on our “Platform Roadmap” (click here) or VOTE on current ones contributed by our community.
How long do I have access to my cannabis training?
It varies… there is never any type of time limitations and training is ALWAYS happening because our training is 100% online, so you can start whenever you like. Typically, our enrollment duration for most of our training is one (1) year enrollment duration (unless noted). You will always be able to learn at your own pace, start, and stop at any time!
Even though many different governments have specific time requirements for compliance training, there is no time limit to complete our training. You can work at your own PACE without having to worry about losing your enrollment and any time frame listed to complete the training is average since it varies person-to-person and your individual experience.
For many learners who are well-versed in the subject matter, they can get through training at a much faster pace, and those that need to review the material can do so without having to feel PRESSURED about completing in a specific time frame or achieving specific competency.
How difficult are the cannabis training assessments?
Satisfyingly enough… you’ll find that our assessments are “satisfyingly difficult.” By that we mean, it’s difficult enough that you need to actually KNOW the materials, but it isn’t tricky or difficult just for the sake of being difficult. The majority of our training will require a 70% passing grade in order to complete (unless noted) and your certificate is immediately issued.
That said, to preserve the exclusivity and importance of this designation, we have made the assessments challenging and the questions pertain to our proprietary methodologies, so you shouldn’t expect to be able to pass just because you have taken other training… we are VERY different compared to our competitors and our assessments will reflect those differences.
If I fail, am I allowed to re-take cannabis training assessments?
Am I guaranteed to get a certificate of completion for cannabis training?
How can someone verify my cannabis training certificate(s)?
Easily! You or anyone can verify the authenticity of your certificate by going to the “Verify Certificate” tool (click here) using the unique code found on your certificate. Your certificates are assigned a unique code to VERIFY it in our Learning Management System (LMS) that way anyone can validate it by entering the custom code displayed to confirm its authenticity.
Remember, that you can always access your issued certificate(s) from your account in our LMS, under the “Verify Certificate” page (click here) in your profile. It is possible that you may complete several pieces of training – each with their OWN certificate – it would be time-consuming to visit every course to download all your certificates that have been issued.
To avoid this, on your profile, you can view all the certificates that have been issued to you. Go to your profile page and click on “Verify Certificates” which will take you to your ISSUED certificates and you can simply download them all at one (1) time.
How often do you publish new cannabis training?
Monthly! But don’t feel like you have to consume everything the moment it’s released… everything NEW that we create is published from the “Platform Roadmap” (click here) into our solutions, so there’s no rush or pressure to access it in “real-time.” Think of us as your always-available, training library… there’s a reason why we’re called “Netflix for Cannabis”…
Will you help me find a job after my cannabis training?
Of course! We provide access to resume writing services so you can be ready to apply for posted job openings when you are browsing through available positions in the cannabis industry. The industry is currently BOOMING around the world and now is the time to get involved in the fastest-growing industry that is happening on planet Earth right now.
There are numerous career opportunities opening on job boards or career websites every day. We always recommend checking locally too since the industry is RAPIDLY growing, you will never know what cannabis industry opportunities will be in your own backyard.
