"Marijuana Harvest, co-authored by San Francisco Chronicle Cannabis
Editor and former Cannabis Now Senior Editor David Downs, is the
latest offering in a long legacy of cultivation books released by
Rosenthal. And although the 'guru of ganja' has been publicly
pushing for homegrown backyard cannabis since the late '70s,
Marijuana Harvest arrives at an optimal time when more Americans
than ever before have the ability to grow and cultivate marijuana
for medical and personal use. The book offers techniques designed
to increase the quality and yield of homegrown flowers and pulls
from years of research, controlled experiments and interviews with
cannabis cultivators on what has worked so far. Marijuana Harvest
is designed to teach marijuana growers of all scales how to avoid
making costly mistakes, identify problems and solve them quickly
and is full of options to jump in on the fun of developing the
science around the world's favorite flower with further personal
innovation."
--Ellen Holland, Cannabis Now Magazine
"The information given could well save an inexperienced gardener
more than the purchase price of the book in a single harvest, and
it makes some points of value for even a seasoned grower."
--Grubbycup, Hydrolife Magazine
"Anyone with any clout in the cannabis industry recognizes the
name, Ed Rosenthal. Now, right in time for harvest season, Ed
brings us a new book explaining exactly how the best farmers do it.
In Marijuana Harvest, Rosenthal once again collaborates with David
Downs, Cannabis Editor for the San Francisco Chronicle. From the
ins-and-outs of chopping down stalks to the extraction methods many
growers use, the authors cover the entire spectrum of what happens
to cannabis flowers once they are fully developed. Marijuana
Harvest is a delightful read--equally informative as it is visually
pleasing. We definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in
cannabis cultivation. Getting the most out of our bud doesn't stop
with the growth cycle. Flowers must be treated with care until the
moment they are sold over the counter. Thankfully, Rosenthal and
Downs have made this book available just in time to show us how
important harvest can be."
--Cara Wietstock, Terpenes and Testing Magazine
