- Self-motivated, with a strong sense of personal responsibility.
- Worked effectively in fast-paced environments.
- Skilled at working independently and collaboratively in a team environment.
- Proven ability to learn quickly and adapt to new situations.
- I have learned how to clone marajuana plants successfully with a low mortality rate. I have also learned how to maintain the life of these new plants through the use of proper lighting, feeding, and grooming techniques through the various stages of their lives.
- I also have learned how to care for and maintain the mother plants that the clones are taken from.
- I now know the importance of handling these plants with care, consistency, and delicacy, as one little thing can throw an entire grow into a tailspin.
