In most countries it is illegal to own seeds, grow cannabis or use cannabis. Maybe it will change for you one day if you make the effort to have your voice heard. Until that day comes it is recommended that you consult your local authorities to see what is your countries legal status with regards to growing cannabis. This book does not want you to break the law nor is it here for that purpose. This book is about cannabis and how it is grown around the world. Even though the contents of this book may show you how to acquire seeds and grow very potent plants, you are responsible for your own actions. We would like to see you grow cannabis however we would not like to see you break the law. I would also like to say that many countries have permitted medical users to grow cannabis in their home. If they have in your country then this book will be of massive benefit to you and your health. The Cannabis Grow Bible is part of a foundation series and is a developing project. We listen too and talk with 100's of growers every single year. It is with their advice that we can offer you the latest updates on growing techniques and strains. The Cannabis Grow Bible is an information system. We hope that you stick with us and learn more about how to grow BIGGER BUD! 10 CONTENTS PREFACE FOREWORD Chapter 1 : THE CANNABIS PLANT: A BRIEF HISTORY OF CANNABIS AND THE BASICS OF USING CANNABIS. -HOW CANNABIS IS USED -SPECIES -THC -ZERO ZERO -RESIN -THE HIGH Chapter 2 : SEEDS - SEEDS - HOW TO GET SEEDS - CHOOSING A SEED-BANK - WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN CHOOSING SEEDS - GROWING FACTORS - THE LIFE CYCLE OF THE MARIJUANA PLANT [...]... actually addicted to cannabis They are addicted to the other drug substances that the supplier has added to his produce to make it stronger 100% home grown clean cannabis does not contain physical additive properties People who add other drugs to cannabis are not doing the cannabis community a favor This is a good reason to grow your own pot *** There are many strains or versions of the Cannabis plant alive... away There are many ways to harvest a plant and we will explain it in detail, later Once the grower has selected the parts they want, they then set about curing their harvest (Figure 1.4) Curing your harvest is important It helps one to produce a finer product After the curing has been done the grower can then choose how he/she wants to finally produce their smokable mix (figure 1.5) They can use the. ..
