Grow Your Own: Understanding, Cultivating, and Enjoying Marijuana

by Nichole Graf, Micah Sherman, David Stein

Honest, intelligent, and approachable,  Grow Your Own  combats the inaccurate stereotypes that are again being used to bolster the case for prohibition. 

Featured in  Esquire, BuzzFeed, and more.
The benefits of marijuana are undeniable―medicinally, sure, but also for stress, for creativity, and for relaxation. And as any homebrewer, winemaker, or backyard gardener can tell you, there’s a particular joy in doing it yourself.

Whether you’re new to cannabis and need to walk through the basics, or you’re an experienced grower looking to hone your techniques, Grow Your Own provides all the background and instruction you need to set up a grow space, raise your plants, and harvest your buds. It will teach you how to choose a strain based on its flavors and effects, how to to manage insects and molds without the use of pesticides, and how to mix just the right soil. But Grow Your Own will also give you a primer on the myriad ways to enjo y cannabis―from carving an apple pipe to baking a delicious batch of pot brownies. With photography, visual aids, and illustrations from Allen Crawford ( Whitman Illuminated ), Grow Your Own makes cultivating cannabis as accessible as it is rewarding. 40 Illustrations, 16 color photographs

This book was so informative and aesthetically pleasing, the people who organized the information within did it with skill. During the reading of this book I decided to get in on the LEGAL cannabis industry, so I got my badge, and a job in a cannabis company and this book has taught me so much that I didn’t already know. If you can find it and you want to know more about weed, read this book. It’s super worth it.

I think this book is a great introduction to weed. It contains a lot more information than simply growing, and tbh the growing part lacks a bit of infos. Growers will want to find more technical books, that being said, this book is a great introduction and first read on weed.

A great guide for all stages of growing and consuming with concise descriptions and clear diagrams/illustrations. Perfect for complete beginners without being too simple or dumbed down, even if you're just wanting to understand cannabis in general.

Very technical and detailed. Great advice for the novice grower. Full of information.

[Ponder Stine · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some good info in some places, a decent refresher, the how to abs step by step would be better to follow while working and not reading in advance

Really basic info on marijuana, including terpenes, strains and how to roll a joint (with pictures!). Not primarily a grow guide, despite the choice of title; Weed for Newbies would have been more apt.
