The Good Bud Guide [Paperback]

Albie (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 8, 2005

It's surely a sign of the (high) times that marijuana is becoming increasingly visible and increasingly respectable, easily surviving every effort by the federal government and the bluenoses to suppress it. As well, ganja fans have become more discriminating, no longer willing to settle for the flavorless street bud or the insecticide-soaked leaf. Catering to this new sophistication, The Good Bud Guide offers the reader the most relevant details of the heavenly bud in a concise, easy-to-use format. Designed like a guide to fine wines, this handy book features a wide range of strains, each accompanied by an educated evaluation of its aroma, taste, and effect; high-quality glossy images; and precise growing information to help discerning enthusiasts identify the best-bred bud and perhaps even grow their own. Chapters on grow-room tips, humidity, cuttings, hash-making, and basic and high-tech paraphernalia round out the experience, making this the most comprehensive strain guide every produced.

I liked how he trhoughly goes through a regular constant process to show you the aspects of each plant you can grwo it however you want but these are a constant experiment formula used throughly through each plant. It really gives you an idea of what each could hold in other ways of growing.

WOW! This book's got the lot. From the front cover to the back cover, you can't put it down. The pics are quality showing the plants at their peak, I couldn't get enough of this action. The text is very detailed for each plant and really helps when investing in a strain. The 'Info' box accompanying each strain is so neat. Chapters on lighting, humidity control, hash making and even "How to roll the perfect doob", are really helpful. All in all, I can't fault this book. I totally recommend it.

I was hoping for a great new coffee table book, but "Cannabible" this is NOT. Apparently Albie has a limited vocabulary. His reports are seriously boring and hard to read or follow. He supposedly spent some time in "The Dam" and thinks he's still in Europe with his metric measuring of plant heights etc. He supposedly, too, lives in San Francisco. Then why the metric measurements? There may be some or most of the blame placed at the feet of the editor. If you can possibly view this book prior to purchase, do it. Then decide if you want to waste your money. Then go buy the Cannabibles or Big Book of Buds series instead.

I have to give some credit for the photography...excellent! But I swear the close-ups and bud shots don't match the actual variety, and I think they used the same bud for close-ups multiple times. Even though the pictures are pretty, the text stinks.

At any rate....BORING.
