About the Author

Christopher Sloper began his gardening career at 10 years old when he moved into a new house that had a suitable space for an outdoor garden. Although barely strong enough to use a shovel, he worked the soil until plants would grow. Sloper’s indoor gardening career began during his undergraduate studies. With a lack of gardening space, but a desire for his own home-grown, he turned to hydroponics.

 

Ultimately this led to Sloper’s ownership of two hydroponic shops and a cultivation consulting practice through which he has designed and/or operated dozens of grow facilities with a focus on automation and harvest consistency. His main goal is to properly educate growers and cut through the inaccuracies often found within the indoor gardening community.

 

With a bachelor’s degree in Chemistry and an MBA, Sloper is not only an outstanding grower but he can also develop a brand, sell the harvest and most importantly, know how much profit was generated. He understands what is important to the grower, because he is one!
