By the time I had opened this book, I was mid-veg cycle with my plants and I had already deprived them, baked them and over-nuted them. I jumped into my first grow with nothing but an Internet education. If you are anything like me, sometimes your headstrong enthusiasm for a project can get the better of you. Make note that this is a reference for all growers, home and commercial, indoors and out and as such, it can only drill down so deeply into specific techniques. You will also find chapter summaries for handy review and a great index for getting back to the pertinent bits when you really need them. Haze and a breeding chapter that demands, and deserves, two or three rereads. That very minor quibble aside, there is a wealth of solid information, lots of glorious bud pictures, useful tutorials, bonus goodies like the regeneration info from J.B. I personally know that editing past written work is painful but the exponential explosion of cannabis growing demands regular revisions to stay current and sometimes these additions were integrated a bit bumpily in this tome. Now before you think I am just a shill who could be easily bought with a winter vacation in the Caribbean, (make it Negril, please), this book is not perfect, but I really have to pick nits to criticize it. Short, and this new edition keeps him at or near the top of that small list. Green, who originally hails from Ireland, certainly deserves his place in the pantheon of great grow authors like Ed Rosenthal, Jorges Cervantes and D.J. Over 50,000 copies were sold, so obviously the author hit a vein. We were starting to see glimmers of the lifting of prohibition in North America and the time was ripe for a grow book that gave growers a reference source that was written by a real botanist who could draw us deeper into the science of the plant without getting deep enough to bore. Of course, sometimes the content doesn’t live up to the title so you are wise to ask: How does this bible stack up?įourteen years ago last August, Greg Green wrote his first version of The Cannabis Grow Bible. Publishers know that the inclusion of the word ‘bible’ in a book’s title immediately gives it a scholarly, authoritative air. There is a screenwriter’s bible, a compounding money bible and even, thank God, a green smoothie bible. The Holy Bible aside, there are wine bibles, cooking bibles, fashion bibles, watch bibles, and a whole trainload of car bibles. You don’t have to look too far to see that there are bibles for just about everything. Marijuana cultivators everywhere will enjoy the new, full-color edition of the Cannabis Grow Bible.Any author with the audacity to call their book a ‘bible’ better be prepared to really produce the goods. Professionals will especially benefit the chapters on advanced systems and breeding. Beginners, amateurs, and pros alike will benefit from Green's easy-to-follow style and instructions and the accuracy, breadth and depth of information presented. Greg Green's Cannabis Grow Bible remains the only definitive reference available to fully explain both the art and the science behind growing the world's best cannabis-from indoor and outdoor techniques, soil and hydroponic grows, and now organic gardening. It explains the "Screen of Green" technique that gives a higher yield using fewer plants, an important development for American growers who, if caught, are penalized according to number of plants. The book covers everything from selecting the best plant genetics to dealing with pests and predators and protecting your crop from prying eyes.
Green's signature style blends a solid understanding of marijuana botany with practical real-world advice to help growers cope with the day-to-day demands of maintaining a high-yield garden. In the Cannabis Grow Bible, Green describes methods for growers who want to maximize yield and potency.
The second edition of the Cannabis Grow Bible delivers even more of what growers are looking for-fully updated and illustrated, with a new section on organics, all in glorious color!
Green's comprehensive and professionally presented work on how to cultivate superior cannabis struck a chord with beginner, amateur and professional growers alike-leading to sales of over 55,000 copies of the first edition of the Cannabis Grow Bible. Greg Green's original Cannabis Grow Bible set a new standard for handbooks on cannabis horticulture and established Green as the leading authority in the field. The definitive guide to growing marijuana just got better!
