Author Karen A. Randall<\/a> shares with readers everything they need to plan, design, and maintain freshwater aquariums.

\"The<\/a>What\u2019s Wrong with My Marijuana Plant?: A Cannabis Grower\u2019s Visual Guide to Easy Diagnosis and Organic Remedies<\/em> by David Deardorff and Kathryn Wadsworth<\/a> is the fifth book in the What\u2019s Wrong? <\/em>series.

For all of these works, Deardorff and Wadsworth advocate for organic solutions for plant diseases, pathogens, and environmental problems. Cannabis <\/em>should, of course, only be grown where it is legal to do so and with all proper permitting. Growers of this commercial crop should find Deardorff and Wadworth\u2019s work to be very useful in diagnosing and treating problems. Part one of the book is divided into chapters related to problems on leaves, flowers and flower buds, stems, roots, seeds and seedlings, and problems with the whole plant. The start of each chapter offers a list of common symptoms, directing readers to sections that include a \u201cvisual problem-solving guide\u201d that includes a photograph of the symptom, a written description of the symptom, a diagnosis, and a list of possible solutions for the problem Part two includes ten additional chapters about growing conditions more generally. All in all, What\u2019s Wrong with My Marijuana Plant? <\/em>is a detailed and comprehensive guide to growing Cannabis <\/em>and a useful resource for legal growers who would like to care for their crop organically.<\/p>\n
