[Sticky] What are your favourite books about cannabis?  

Got to sticky this, great idea for a thread mate! 

I have three books, all Download as Ebooks lol, The Jeff lownefells books on microbes. Hard to read, so only read a bit of them. 

My favourite book, was from about 15 years ago now, I lived with a friend, and he had a paper book, printed, and shitty paper, obviously wasn't mass produce, and it is what first got me started with the idea of growing. 

Fuck knows what it was called, but it was full of great info.

Bro that sounds awesome - I just did a quick Google on it and would love to know if you recommend it once you're done.

That other grower's handbook sounds like the stuff of legend, passed down through the years.

Would be f**kn amazing to see a book like that. Do you know if it was produced in the UK or if he got it from somewhere else?

For sure produced in the UK mate. Showed you how to build your own grow room and every thing lol, proper black market style shit it was. We got the internet nowadays though lol. 

that is so dope, I wonder if there are any people out there with a copy? It would be an awesome article to write, like "How Growers Spread Knowledge During Prohibition" or something like that

No Coffee table yet either for that matter...

What was tv show with Mr Bates / the master? Is that real, or in my imagination lol

I was just gonna suggest a thread for this! Awesome.

These are my go to, but very especially the Cannabis Encyclopedia. Holy shit it has absolutely everything you could ever need to know about everthing. It's really the latest version of Jorge Cervantes' Marijuana Horticulture series, but in amazing textbook-style detail. This is where I've taken the majority of my techniques and ideas from, along with the old school Cannabis Culture forums way back in the day. Closet Cultivator is a more basic version, written more for stealthy grows during prohibition, and has a lot of good info as well. Probably still useful to a lot of us...  Finally, The Kitchen is a book by growers/breeders UptownGrowLab from the States (Cali I believe). It has some brilliant centerfold macro shots of the various cultivars they mess with. Basically bud porn. Really great coffee table book though.

@templegrower

I dont have any books 🙁 Everything is online where i can be hidden from the kids and visitors lol. One day ill have a nice collection, but the law here needs to fix up first

@macky

Haha yeah, sometimes I forget how lucky we are around here... soon tho! Times they are a changin'.

@templegrower

I really love this book as a general point of reference as well, super helpful

I recently grabbed a couple of copies of the Cannabis Indica and Sativa Volumes 1 

by ST oner and Greg green Its basically a guide to the worlds finest cannabis strains with full colour pics and descriptions 

Bit of a Drool fest really looking at those pics makes you want to try smoking the page theyre on . 🤣 

I also have Jorges books greg greens books on breeding and a few others .

I prefer a physical book over a downloaded pdf anyday 

Great collection you have the WSG! I think i need to get me some weed books lol

@weststrayangrows

I have a few of these books and they're just pure bud porn lol

Just waiting for the scratch and sniff cannabis encyclopedia 

never been a fan of reading. The internets become my book..

@smokey1984

Same for me mate, I like to look for specific questions about things, rather than read a book on a whole subject lol. Got some Ebooks from Jeff Lowenfells, great books, but I still haven't read them lol. 

@macky

some great knowledge.. Be a frequent visitor no doubt. 

@smokey1984

Awesome, enjoy the place man, make yourself at home 🙂 If there is anything you need, give me a shout 🙂
