I like this post. I’m hoping more people reply to it. My favorite sources for growing cannabis are… not related to cannabis. Scientific research papers and scholarly journals with truly credible information are much easier to find for other plant species. You just have to watch out for anything too specific while simultaneously being as biologically/physiologically as specific as possible in your searches. Sometimes the right level of specificity takes reading a more general article and linking yourself to more and more details as you research. There is a large majority of information about growing marijuana that is inaccurate yet very self-assured. I’m sure we all have been observing this for a while. Even ‘grow bibles’ tend to have a lot of potentially misleading information at the very least. Some good info on hemp cannabis does exist, but I find the most revealing and credible information in peer reviewed literature.
