I have a Ph.D. and am a university professor. I do academic research in peasant communities, where I have lived and worked with farmers for years. I have graduate level training and have taught university courses in horticulture.
I grow cannabis indoors in coco coir and perlite. When I started growing in coco I did extensive research and found the information available to be contradictory and misinformed. I expanded my research into scientific sources to understand the chemistry and biology of soil-less horticulture.
My experience and research led me to write “Coco for Cannabis: A Grower’s Guide”, which is published by Green Harvest Press and is available on Amazon. That experience, in turn, led us to create CocoForCannabis.com. This site is a free public resource for the cannabis growing community and it includes and expands the information in “A Grower’s Guide”.

During an apprenticeship to become an electrician, I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. Due to the diagnosis I was unable to continue to pursue a career as an electrician. To engage my interests in science and technology, I began reading books and exploring several fields of science. At first, I researched electronics, signal processing, computers, data communications and power. Then, I moved on to human anatomy and physiology to better understand medicine and my condition.
I discovered cannabis helped with my Crohn’s, especially with appetite, sleep and comfort. This prompted my research into cannabis, plant biology, and horticulture. I noticed early on that there were many misconceptions in the cannabis growing community. I started to write my own articles in order to provide a more technically accurate source of information, backed by science.
