Master Class Calendar

We teach two free classes at Matt’s Hydroponics. Grow classes run every Saturday, and a mushroom class runs once a month. Both are open to anyone, both are completely free, and there is always pizza afterwards. Dates and RSVP are at the bottom of this page.

Grow classes — every Saturday

Every Saturday · 11 AM – 1 PM · Free

The Master Class series is four classes that follow a grow from start to finish — seed starting and cloning, the vegetative stage, flowering, and harvest. By the end of the four you have been through the whole life of the plant. It is taught by people who grow, not by a script, and you can walk in on any Saturday.

The series runs in rotation: Class 1 one Saturday, then Classes 2, 3 and 4 on the next three Saturdays, and then it starts over. Join on any week and you will have completed all four within a month. The calendar below shows which class is on which Saturday.

How it works

What the four classes cover

• Seed starting & cloningGerminating seeds, taking and rooting cuttings, and getting seedlings and clones off to a strong start.
• The vegetative stageBuilding a healthy plant — light, feeding, watering, environment and training before flower.
• FloweringMaking the switch, feeding through bloom, keeping the room dialed in, and reading the plant as it finishes.
• HarvestKnowing when to cut, then drying, curing and storing — and resetting the room for the next run.

Mushroom class — once a month

Once a month · Free · Date on the calendar below

Growing mushrooms has almost nothing in common with growing plants — different substrate, different environment, and sterile technique matters more than anything else. So it gets its own class rather than a footnote in the grow series. It runs once a month and it is free like everything else we teach.

• Substrate & spawnWhat to grow on, and how to prepare it properly.
• Sterile techniqueThe part that decides whether you succeed or grow mold.
• Fruiting conditionsHumidity, air exchange and light — and how to hold them.
• Harvest & next flushWhen to pick, and how to get a second round.

New to it entirely? That is the point of the class. Come with questions.

Everything we teach is free. No fee, no membership, no catch — and that includes the certificate and the clone at the end of the grow series. RSVP below so we can plan seating, or just show up.
