Описание книги

The definitive guide to growing marijuana just got better!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. 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.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!In the Cannabis Grow Bible, Green describes methods for growers who want to maximize yield and potency. 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. The book covers everything from selecting the best plant genetics to dealing with pests and predators and protecting your crop from prying eyes. 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.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. 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. Professionals will especially benefit the chapters on advanced systems and breeding. Marijuana cultivators everywhere will enjoy the new, full-color edition of the Cannabis Grow Bible.
