Marijuana Botany by Robert Connell Clarke

Marijuana Botany by Robert Connell Clarke Ph.D. was his first book, based on his doctoral research but written in a clear, easy to follow, style.

Marijuana Botany

Marijuana Botany details the genetics, propagation and breeding of the amazing cannabis plant. Written for the interested layman but based on Clarke's doctoral thesis at Berkeley, University of California, this book goes way beyond a mere grow guide as it examines the science behind cannabis. Hand drawn illustrations are used to convey the points he makes with great clarity as the whole life cycle of cannabis is discussed from germiniation through to maturation and harvest.

Central to the book is the section on cannabis genetics and how an understanding of this is an essential tool to use in any cannabis breeding programme. Asexual propagation, in the form of cuttings (often mistakenly called clones), is also outlined for the grower who wishes to pursue the cultivation of a given variety.

The last section of the book is concerned with the harvesting and curing of connoisseur cannabis. If you have a thirst for knowledge about cannabis then you really should read Marijuana Botany.
