THE CANNABIS GROW BIBLE BY GREG GREEN

Learn the secrets of growing high quality cannabis. Find out how to get the best seeds, secure your grow, grow in soil or hydroponics, design your own sea of green or screen of green set up, choose the right strain for you, deal with predators and pests, harvest bud, create an endless supply of clones, make hashish and even breed a new line of cannabis.
The Cannabis Grow Bible
is written for new enthusiasts and experienced growers alike. Within the book Greg explains how to grow large, potent bud. This book clearly describes and shows, with more than 200 photographs, illustrations and tables the many innovative ways that cannabis can be grown. From outdoor greenhouse or forest grows to indoor grow rooms and small cabinet-sized grows—it’s all here in
The Cannabis Grow Bible
. Growing cannabis has never been easier. “Finally a book that clearly explains the do’s and don’ts of growing the herb. The detail and comprehensiveness of the
Grow Bible
makes it the must have book for every grower and fan of cannabis.”—S.T. Oner, author of
The Marijuana Chef Cookbook.
Home grown has never been so good!

This can be done by forcing the plant to self-pollinate, forcing the clone to become a hermaphrodite, but this is not recommended because the hermaphrodite condition can be passed on to future offspring. For more on selfing, see CGB, p. 230. The hermaphrodite condition is discussed on p. 105 of CGB, and will also be explained further in this book.

2

Many researchers believe that Cannabis Sativa L. is the only recognized species type by Western biologists because of legal ramifications and not because of plant classification systems. When Cannabis Indica was introduced to the occident it was initially presumed to be uncontrolled by cannabis prohibition laws which only stipulated that Cannabis Sativa L. should be controlled. However the courts refused to acknowledge the existence of this separate cannabis species and thus treated all the cannabis species as just Cannabis Sativa L.

3

The current cannabis species model is classed as follows: Cannabis indica Lam., Cannabis indica Lam. var. kafiristanica Vavilov, Cannabis ruderalis Janisch., Cannabis sativa L. subsp. indica (Lam.) E.Small & Cronquist, Cannabis sativa L. subsp. indica (Lam.) E.Small & Cronquist var. indica, Cannabis sativa L. subsp. indica (Lam.) E.Small & Cronquist var. kafiristanica (Vavilov) E.Small & Cronquist, Cannabis sativa L. subsp. Sativa, Cannabis sativa L. subsp. sativa var. sativa, Cannabis sativa L. subsp. sativa var. spontanea. However, Sativa L only precedes Indica and Ruderalis because it is presumed to be the earlier form of cannabis. This does not appear to be the case. The incorrect current scientific model does not prove whether Sativa or Indica or Ruderalis came first. In Chapter 17 An Introduction to the Sexual Evolution of Cannabis‚ shows that all these species where derived from separate gene pools and are mutations of another primordial form of cannabis. This has since been proven because of chemical genotype comparisons published in the
American Journal of Botany
A chemotaxonomic analysis of cannabinoid variation in Cannabis (Cannabaceae) by Hillig and Mahlberg Am. J. Bot..2004; 91: 966-975‰ which can be found at

Avoid trying to Herm the male as Hermaphrodites will not give you true female floral results.

5

You can also use a fan to remove excess pollen.

6

Some clones are more than 20 years old, however cloning allows the mature clone to grow into a new plant again. Here we are talking about old growth and not the clones total age.

7

The hermaphrodite condition should not pass onto the offspring in theory if the genes are not present in the parents. However as we will see later the sexual expression of the cannabis plant is a complex subject and although some selfing techniques will not produce hermaphrodites the risk is still high because of the way sexual expression occurs in cannabis. See chapter 15

8

Note that the seeds are called “Feminized” and not “Female”. If they were called “Female” you may have a case.

9

The very nature of sinsemilla is somewhat stressful for the plant.

10

A combination of dominant and recessive traits can produce that special mother – the vigorous hybrid.
