This is a cannabis growing primer for the absolute beginner. Here we deal with the very basic concepts of plant propagation for the medical marijuana patient or connoisseur.The primary audience for this booklet guide is someone who decides to grow their own medicine for the very first time.With all his inborn eloquence, Sugary Tips came to me about a decade ago with a grand scheme of teaching thousands to grow medicine in their own spaces. He had grown his own, with the help of Jorge Cervantes’ bible, for more than three decades already.With many seasons comes considerable communication from cannabis sativa. In all his years as a carded patient caregiver in the backwoods of Oregon, one thing I can safely say about Sugary, he has learned to listen to his offspring.If you only replicate one quality as a gardener, I would highly recommend working on your active listening skills. In communication with your plants, they will tell you what they need. It just takes time and experience to hear the indicators for what it is they specifically desire.Albuquerque’s Anthony Ortiz and his medical cannabis content team publish Kurple Magazine.
