This is a botanical book written for botanists interested marijuana cultivation. In it, is an explication of the different classifications of marijuana regarding its cultivation, regulation, and care. He provides some minimal notes on how to create ones own strains and how to keep track of different types of marijuana as breeders seek to optimize different aspects of the plant.

It's surprising this is written in the 1950s. The diagrams are clean and the language fairly crisp, as this is a nice guide for those who seek to enter the world of marijuana cultivation without having experience in the different types of marijuana.

Simple, yet detailed and straight forward.
Granted I know not every person is like me and doesn’t have the same taste of nonfiction; still, I recommend this to everybody who’s interested in the plant itself, or is looking to grow.

Very in depth look at all things cannabis particularly breeding and the many strains, but also cloning, growing and curing. Very detailed and well researched.

Must read for anyone serious about growing. Explains the use of hermaphrodite genetics very well. Alot of folks apparently need to read this
