Botany for Cannabis Growers

Cannabis is of the moment. A grassroots social movement has transformed this criminalized plant into a medicine for sick kids and a selling feature for wellness products. This zeitgeist fuels an interest in cannabis cultivation across many demographics. The internet is an ocean of misinformation about growing weed (among other things). Most of the print publications are no better. On the other hand, there are volumes of academic treatises available on the physiology of C. sativa that are indecipherable to general public. This work bridges the gap between biologists and recovering outlaws on cannabis breeding, with special focus on techniques for growers in diverse environments.
