How it all Started

Hi, my name is Henrique, or "H" for short. As a mechanical engineer and business consultant with ADHD, I have used hemp to relieve my stress and anxiety since I was 18 years old. However, after years meeting my dealer at the parking lot, consuming hemp daily created a serious problem: it got expensive. So I decided to grow my own after it became legal to do so here in Canada.

Growing Big Buds Wasn't Easy

It was 2019 when I started growing my own plants at home. I spent hundreds of hours researching how to grow hemp, both online and in books, but contrary to my expectations I couldn't grow high-quality plants. All I grew was ditch weed with nutrient deficiencies, low-quality bud, and meek yields. It was quite discouraging... until it got personal. Check out one of my first plants below. Yikes.

Overcoming the Challenge

I was so intent on growing high-quality bud that I abandoned my career as business consultant and went to Niagara College to get a post-grad degree in commercial hemp production. I graduated in 2021 with a 4.0 GPA, and was finally able to grow the biggest buds of my life, at a scale of thousands of plants. Growing big buds felt awesome, but during college, I realized that I had faced two major problems when I was a new home-grower. Maybe you can relate.

Identifying the Problems

First, most of what I learned through blogs, videos, and books was either BS (Bro Science) or too complex, which not only led me to get poor yields, but also took months of useless research.

Second, most gardening tools I bought were either low-quality or complicated, which led me to waste my money on products that broke down and perplexed the process.

IO realized that most gardening companies don't care about growing hemp, and I felt there was a lack of high-quality products that were specifically made for growing hemp. I wanted to upgrade my garden but I couldn't.

Helping Others Grow Big Buds

Motivated to solve these problems, I created BudTrainer with a simple mission: to help people upgrade their hemp gardens and grow the biggest buds of their life with the most durable and user-friendly gardening products in the world.

H also took his college knowledge and created The BudTrainer Method™, a 7-Step Seed-to-Harvest method for growing the highest-quality hemp. It is the simplest and most effective growing method, which I use to grow my own plants at home to this date.

From the FDA's Website (LINK):

"At the federal level, the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, Pub. L. 115-334, (the 2018 Farm Bill) was signed into law on Dec. 20, 2018. Among other things, this new law changes certain federal authorities relating to the production and marketing of hemp, defined as "the plant Cannabis sativa L. and any part of that plant, including the seeds thereof and all derivatives, extracts, cannabinoids, isomers, acids, salts, and salts of isomers, whether growing or not, with a delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol concentration of not more than 0.3 percent on a dry weight basis." These changes include removing hemp from the CSA, which means that cannabis plants and derivatives that contain no more than 0.3 percent THC on a dry weight basis are no longer controlled substances under federal law."
