You can call this
book the most comprehensive guide to Marijuana cultivation and usage. It begins
with the general medical use for the plant, and then proceeds to the way of
growing it at home. The growing section takes up most of the book, because
there process is not easy at all. It takes work to properly cultivate cannabis,
and this book breaks down the steps to keep you from wasting time and losing
money.
George Cervantes
begins with the medical aspects of cannabis; the oils are used to treat nausea
from chemo therapy, or joint pain from arthritis. They can be used to relieve the
pain from herniated disks, osteoporosis, and trapped nerves, most of which
would have to be treated with painkillers. Remember the 20/20 episode titled Hidden
American: Children of the Mountains? Remember how half the town was on
painkillers thanks to back injuries they got in the mines? Somehow, I think
cannabis-derived oils would be safer than oxyxontin, percocets, codeine, and Vicodin.
When the book
discusses the growing procedure, including chapters on fertilizers,
insecticides, greenhouses, and electric grow lights. Greenhouses are a frequent
issue for cannabis cultivation, because the temperature needs to be assured,
but there are many benefits to using greenhouses. Firstly, the greenhouse keeps
plant eating animals out, and if you’re in an area with deer, this will be a
factor to consider. Secondly, growing them indoors brings the bugs indoors, and
if you’re doing indoor hydroponic growing, it can cause the buildup of harmful
salmonella bacteria.
Further chapters
cover things like drying the leaves and buds, extracting the oils and resins,
and their various needs with regards to packaging and weighing. Unlike growing
tomatoes, cannabis has a much longer growing season, so it needs to be a
long-term investment. Unlike food crops, the rules about insecticides and fertilizers
are not as strict, and this means greater opportunity for pollution. Since the
profits are greater with cannabis, the farmer won’t lose money on the
electricity costs for the grow lights. However, this means greater power usage.
If you’re considering
going into the business of cannabis, then this book is just what you need.
