This workshop will show you how to grow with Biologicals, specifically Prime Superior products. It will also show you how you can expect major advantages if you add biologicals to your current growing regimen and how Biologicals represent the future of growing as they are a safe and Green alternative to Forever Chemicals.

Are you interested in increasing yields, increasing cannabinoid levels, increasing terpene levels, increasing root size, drought tolerance, and much more?

Then you need Biologicals, and this workshop will explain all about Biologicals and show you why they are the future of cannabis growing both at home and commercially.

As an example, LPC Natural’s Prime Superior products that contain the beneficial fungus Beauveria bassiana increased not only yields but also levels of cannabinoids by 15-25% and terpenes by over 100% in a CBD rich autoflowering variety. These levels of increase are game changing and can represent a huge return on investment.
