In Asia, one can travel to the various regions around Mongolia and visit the cannabis plant naturally growing on the hillsides and across the vast plains, sometimes covering entire hill faces and spreading down onto the valley below. Cannabis can grow nearly everywhere and anywhere as long as the temperature is not too low and there is enough sunlight and food present for the plant to flourish. This picture is from Strawdog.Ĭannabis plants have been living on this planet for thousands, maybe millions of years, and have been doing so for quite some time before man's intervention and after. This picture is of a young female Skunk#1 plant developing her flower cluster. THE CANNABIS PLANT: A BRIEF HISTORY OF CANNABIS AND THE BASICS OF USING CANNABIS. There is no finer hobby on this planet, than tending to a garden that gives such delightful rewards."- Greg Green.
Let peace and sanity prevail, let the herb grow free. Given by God for all living creatures to use. The real issue is."Since it's inception marijuana is natural. this one will get you up to speed: Īnd I'm currently growing seeds from the book recommendation His earlier work was just as trashy but OK for tennies wanting to blaze with bagseed and cFL's įor a better read but old. ? just google it, I can only imagined he left for darkest Africa, with all his saving by now. This book by Green is a great introduction to genetics, I read this book some months after its release, and agreed with the shit storm that followed that there were considerable errors, in this guys understanding of the subject, canna, and his knowledge of botanical genetics, back in June 2005. Maybe I'll treat myself after my next crop is finished and I save a little money.? It looks very interesting and has been strongly recommended to me.ĬLARKE has recently released a new Cannabis title which looks amazingly in depth, unfortunately the cheapest copy I can find is £43 ($5. Like the man said, Cannabis hasn't some magical difference to other plants.Īnd, instead of spending £12 ($1 on the Green book I can spend the same amount on the ROBERT CONNEL CLARKE book - CANNABIS BOTANY I probably will look for internet resources about plant genetics.
I cannot help but think that if someone is researching cannabis cultivation they already know how to smoke it - Or they don't want to smoke it, they want to grow it. How to roll a joint - with diagrams of the process, How to make an apple pipe - again with diagrams. it's almost like a minor physics work on the nature of light.ĪND, towards the back of the book, you get the feeling he's run out of information but still has to fill 30 or 40 pages - so he incorporates lots of mindless filler. My main worry about buying another Greg Green book is that his other publication 'The Complete Grow Bible' has areas with virtually no information (such as appropriate EC levels for plants at different ages/sizes)īut in other areas there is a ridiculous excess of information - For example his chapter on the Light Spectrum goes far beyond what is necessary for most growers. If you've read another book that deals with the same issues, please post your opinions. IF YOU'VE READ THIS BOOK I WELCOME YOUR FEEDBACK IS IT WRITTEN IN A WAY THAT KEEPS THE SCIENCE ACCESSIBLE and INTERESTING - YET STILL INFORMATIVE? IS THIS BOOK THE ONE THAT HAS THE ANSWERS? (It would mean not growing actual bud in that area - a huge sacrifice - whilst, at the same time, risking just as much criminal chastisement).īut I do have a massive interest in the process and would like to learn how strains are crossed to create new varieties - hopefully with the best aspects of both the parents. This means that I do not have the luxury of using an area to experiment with creating seeds
The science of genetics is a subject I know very little about and, as the UK regards cannabis growing a crime, every space needs capitalising on to the maximum. The CANNABIS BREEDER'S BIBLE: THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO MARIJUANA VARIETIES AND CREATING STRAINS FOR THE SEED MARKETĪfter buying Greg Green's The CANNABIS GROW BIBLE, and being a little disappointed with it (I much preferred Ed Rosenthals GROW BIBLE) I am undecided as to whether I should buy this book.
