My thanks to my family and friends for making this book possible.

This book is dedicated to growers and breeders all over the world, of any type of plants. I would like to say thank you to Simi, Moni, Strawdog, Chris, Kissie, Mikal, W. Y. Evans-Wentz, Lama Kazi Dawa-Samdup, Sir John Woodroffe, Mike H, Billy A, Sean C, Nick J, Paul M, John Mc, Mahoona, Cossie, Suz F, Emer D, Mary M, Eug D, Carol L, Arthur C. Clarke, Darra E and Mr. De Butler.

A special thanks to Serious Seeds, Sensi Seeds, Paradise Seeds, Spice of Life Seeds, Nirvana Seeds, Dutch Passions Seeds, Mr Nice, Soma Seeds, Greenhouse Seeds, African Seeds, Flying Dutchmen, Brothers Grimm, Homegrown Fantaseeds, KC Brains, BOG Seeds and all their breeders for keeping those genetics coming and making them available to all.

My ingratitude goes out to the CIA for refusing to be audited for activities relating to the drug war at the request of the General Accounting Office of America since 1960, making themselves the obvious profiteers of Americas spiraling offshore illegal drug trade which creates adulterated cannabis products, the proceeds from which are used to train foreign guerilla forces for a cause which eventually ends up with them rebelling and converting to terrorism that reaches every part of the globe. My ingratitude also goes out to their partners who spread disinformation about the cannabis plant across the world so that the profits can keep rolling in at the expense of human lives. These people should know better than to make money out of mischief.

Its only just cannabis!

I would also like to say a special thanks to my publisher and editor for their always welcome words of wisdom.

This is a book about cannabis breeding and botany, written by people who breed cannabis strains.

THIS IS NOT A BEGINNERS BOOK to cannabis cultivation. This book is about advanced marijuana cultivation and breeding. Although this book will teach you advanced cannabis concepts it will not teach you the basics. If you want to learn growing then get THE CANNABIS GROW BIBLE: The Definitive Guide to Growing Marijuana for Recreational and Medical Use by Greg Green (ISBN: 1-931160-17-1), also.

There is still much work that needs to be done to provide a complete reference to everything related to cannabis genetics, marijuana botany and breeding techniques, but that will come in time. You can find entire books dedicated to plant genetics and breeding for most vegetable plants that are ten times more complete than this one. But then most vegetable plants are not illegal in most countries and cultivators and botanists are free to list, classify, grow and distribute their findings. They can also set up companies that freely trade in these genetics across the world without breaking the law. Sadly the same cannot be said for cannabis until now.

The Cannabis Breeders Bible is new and truly unique. Those who are willing to take serious risks in getting you this information have discovered most of what you will read and learn here. We listen to and talk with hundreds of such growers and breeders every year. It is with their advice that we can offer you the latest updates on cannabis breeding techniques. The results have been outstanding, and I am very thankful for their fearless contribution to The Cannabis Breeders Bible.

In this book you will read about quite a number of breeding techniques, advanced cultivation methods and botanical aspects of the cannabis plant - probably too much to remember all in one go if this is your first time breeding. That is why I have broken the book into easy-to-follow, step-by-step portions. The book covers cannabis genetics from start to finish. It contains a breakdown of the cannabis plant, its origins, along with a detailed description of its anatomy and how cannabis interbreeds. The chapters are easy to follow and you will find yourself turning to this book time and time again for information about hybrids that you would like to create or advanced cultivation techniques that you need. This is what makes The Cannabis Breeders Bible so accessible and unique. Most cultivation guides lack this very important information or when they touch on this area of expertise they contain information that is exaggerated or even just plainly incorrect. The Cannabis Breeders Bible provides accurate, up-to-date information based on practical experience from breeding strains using multiple techniques. We dont just quote or copy what the breeder or growers has said and we have not taken pages from some web site, book or magazine and simply reproduce them here as if they where gospel truth. We actually test what they say. That is why we can provide you with original and unique cannabis cultivation information that you will not learn anywhere else except inside the book that you are currently holding in your hands.

Dont ever let bad results prevent you from breeding again. That is part of the learning process. However, this book will point out some common mistakes that others have made, so that you dont have to repeat them and learn the hard way. Some seed varieties cost a little more than the price of this book. A handful cost less. Mostly the better strains cost a lot more. Either way, The Cannabis Breeders Bible will be your companion before and after you buy it and nowhere else will you find the unprecedented amount of cannabis genetic information that is contained in this book. We have made the 21st century leap by presenting you the reader and potential breeder with a Totally Brand New Understanding of Cannabis Genetics.

Glance over this book and flick through the chapters. Get a feel for what is going on. Then read it all from start to finish. By the time you turn the last page you will probably have an idea of what breeding techniques suit your needs and maybe even have started creating a new hybrid strain of your own already. If you can do that then please tell people about this book. It is our goal to get everyone participating in breeding the great herblegally.

This is not the final word on the subject either: this book has been designed to grow! We will be adding new chapters, new pictures, new methods and new theories. That is why The Cannabis Breeders Bible has become the marijuana breeders handbook of choice.

We hope that you stick with us and we hope that this book will help you to get where you want to go. Happy growing and most of all, remember to HAVE FUN!

THIS BOOK HAS BEEN WRITTEN UNDER ADVERSE CONDITIONS. In most countries it is illegal to own cannabis seeds, or to grow or use cannabis. Maybe this will change for you one day if enough people make the effort to have their voices heard. Until that day comes, it is recommended that you verify what your countrys legal stance is with regards to cannabis breeding. This book was not created with the intent to encourage anyone to break the law.

The Cannabis Breeders Bible is about cannabis breeding and how it is done. Even though the contents of this book may show you how to acquire seeds, grow them and breed them, ultimately, you are responsible for your own actions. We would like to see you breed bigger, better cannabis plants; however, we dont want to see you break the law.
