On drying cannabis buds
"You don't want the buds to dry too fast, you don't want them to dry too slow. It's a very fine line, research, trial and error, and having a knowledgeable grower can give you a guideline so you don't have to go through the process and learn from your mistakes."
- Shlomo Booklin, Master Grower

Plant Science: Light & Plant Sight
Plants can differentiate light based on its electromagnetic wavelengths. Light that is not visible to humans, like ultraviolet (UV), is visible to plants. This ability also lets plants sense the time of day because the wavelengths of light, which correspond to colours, change from sunrise to sunset. Plants can also sense brightness and intensity of light, light exposure length, and even location of light sources. While plants lack a nervous system to translate light into pictures like humans, they are very much able to "see" in a way that is as complex as human sight.
Sample chapter
Cleaning & Disease Prevention in a Cannabis Production Facility
Production standards between hobby growers and licensed commercial production facilities are very different. Professional cannabis cultivation requires familiarity with Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) guidelines.
This chapter details:
- Production Standards for Medical Marijuana
- What are Health Hazards?
- Dress Codes and Protective Equipment
- Cleaning and Sanitation in Medical Cannabis Production
- Cleaning and Sanitation Programs
- Validation and Testing
On life cycle timing
"When the plant grows to about 15-18 cm from the edge of the pot till the top of the canopy, then I know that it's tall enough for the vegetative stage. You can in theory grow the vegetative stage to 2 metres high but then you'd have to use a ladder to get to the top!"
