Ed Rosenthal

We all know Ed Rosenthal. Or should i say you shld know Ed if you have ever tried to grow weed. In the early times of marijuana growing many people simply grew very large plants and ground up the plant matter and smoked it. In 1976 Ed Rosenthal and Mel Frank published ‘The marijuana growers handbook’ and the light cycle as we know it today developed. Pre Rosenthal and Frank those who grew outdoors had a little surprise ready for them around September/October. Those who grew inside were blessed with harsh, unpleasant smoke of the stalk and leaves. As the 18/6 and 12/12 light cycle developed we see the increase of quality bud.

Growing From Clone

Over the years growing cannabis i have learned a few things. One of the most important thing is that clones are god. Not only are they going to share the exact same genetic information with their mother plant, they are predictable. After many grows you will have the same genetic map in all of your plants. Why is this good? Chances are that they will all grow at the same rate. This mean that the canopy is of universal height allowing max light penetration into the lower nodes of the plant. Growing the same plant all the time also mean that routines can be created. With minor exception you can tell from your notes when the plant will need to be watered, when to flip it to flowering and when it should finish. Knowing all these factors allows you to grow faster and more efficiently.

Clones are not hard to make either. Once you have the process down your death rate among clones can go down to 0%. Seeds create many, many variables which limit production and increase the time to mature.
