New column will profile medical gardens, tips PDF Print E-mail
Written by Jorge Cervantes   
This column will initiate a new program, “Plant for a Patient,” for medical marijuana growers and patients. The purpose of the Plant for a Patient program is to raise awareness about medical cannabis patients needs. By planting cannabis for a patient you can save an ailing person the financial burden of purchasing their medicine.

 Many growers are able to grow much more than they could possibly need for themselves. Sharing a part of this bounty would really help patients in need.

This frosty bud is an example of a medical bud. This photo was given to me by a medical grower in Northern California. It is an all organic bud.

    In this column, we would like to profile different medical gardens. Publicizing medical gardens helps get growers into the mood of growing cannabis for medicinal use. Many times people think growing great medical cannabis is difficult. It actually can be easier to grow cannabis than many other backyard vegetables.

    To start this column off, I have provided some examples of the types of photos we are looking for. Most of these were taken in Switzerland.

This photo of a Swiss garden was taken from the top of a storage silo. The plants were short, about 4 feet tall. You can distinguish different strains by their color.

The garden photo contest

     Every issue, we will choose a winner of the contest for medical gardens and send them an autographed copy of Marijuana Horticulture: the Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower’s Bible – 512 full color pages and 1120 professional color images.

    We urge other publications and websites to start similar programs in their communities. We must raise the awareness of medical marijuana growers and patients.

    Here is what we are looking for:

1.    High quality digital images, at least 5megapixel in size.
2.    Medical marijuana gardens only
3.    Send digital images with a short descriptive paragraph and return e-mail to: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

    Please include a few words to a paragraph or two about each photo you submit when possible. The information provided by the images of cannabis gardens will help other qualified medical growers produce better gardens. The contest will also help expand the feeling of community within the cannabis community.
 
    The more information other growers have about medical cannabis gardens, the better they can grow.
I snapped this photo of a tray of clones at the Native Suns Dispensary in San Diego. They are in such high demand that these clones are just starting to show roots!
