INTRODUCTION

Whether you are a home grower with a couple of marijuana plants or a commercial grower with hundreds of plants, this book will help you diagnose problems and find solutions. Disorders (such as unhealthy growing conditions), pests, and diseases are all included here. You can treat all these problems by improving growing conditions, using biological controls, or applying safe, organic remedies.

We are botanists, plant pathologists, and writers. We’ve owned nurseries and traveled the world on botanical adventures. In this book, we have compiled the most recent research to help you grow healthy cannabis. The United States government considers cannabis an illegal crop, resulting in no U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) guidelines, no Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards, and virtually no university research on acceptable treatments for pests and diseases or on the efficacy of those treatments. Research on organic cultivation of cannabis is relatively limited. To find the best  organic methods, we have worked with licensed legal growers who use organic practices and we have relied on research from European sources, the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI), and other scientific literature.

Every state in the United States that has legalized marijuana has its own statutes and guidelines. Be sure to find out what is permitted in your locatio
