Jeff Lowenfels, Author, Teaming Series, will give a keynote talk today in Rooms A105–A106 starting at 9:30 a.m. The talk is titled “There Is a New Bud in Town.” Lowenfels recently spoke to us about his talk and other sessions he’s excited about attending this week.
Can you give us a little preview of your keynote talk for the 2019 Cannabis Science Conference West?Jeff Lowenfels: My talk is on autoflowering cnnabis which I predict will become not only the commercial grower’s choice but the next tomato for the home gardener. It is a new kind of cannabis, greatly improved over the last few years that doesn’t require a photoperiod, has smaller plants, and can go from germination to harvest in 7 to 9 weeks.
What do you hope attendees will take away from your keynote?
Lowenfels: There is a new bud in town and it is definitely worth trying to grow because of its so many advantages.
What are you hoping to learn or take away from this year’s conference? Are there any other talks you plan to attend?
Lowenfels: Always interested in the lasted microbiology and organic info.
