Growing Medicinal and Recreational Cannabis
I am on the fence with this one, but i fundamentally beleive that this does not belong on wikibooks. The previous authors, "Big E & Dr. Nuggets" seem to think that this is worthwhile, but i think that this brings down the entire community to an unacceptable level. This is certainly not a textbook. --Whiteknight (talk)(projects) 21:55, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

"During vegetative phase, it’s important to use fertilizers high in Nitrogen and Potassium, as well as a complete micronutrient fertilizer. The easiest method to use is to mix your fertilizer with water, and then simply water your plants, usually fertilizing every other or every third watering. It is very important to avoid over-fertilizing the plants, especially when they are young, or the plants will suffer from nutrient burn. As the plants grow larger and stronger, they are able to tolerate a stronger nutrient solution, and the strength of the fertilizer may be gradually increased."
 * Neutral -- I lean towards keep, but not enough for even a weak keep. It is well written stuff, seems to be written by guys who knew what they were doing. If it weren't for the subject at hand, this would be a strong keep. Well written, and high quality stuff. I'll give a little snippet to show you what I mean by high quality.

With that said, I'm neutral to very weak keep. --Dragontamer 22:12, 8 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I could venture to recommend we merge this one into the gardening book. --Whiteknight (talk)(projects) 22:15, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * on second thought, we deleted the gardening book, if i remember correctly. --Whiteknight (talk)(projects) 22:19, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * wrong again. we could merge this one into Gardening because it actually is informative. --Whiteknight (talk)(projects) 22:20, 8 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I agree with that reccomendation. I change my vote to Merge into Gardening. Frankly speaking, this guide would be the most detailed gardening guide in that book so far :-) --Dragontamer 22:26, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Speedily deleted this is not material similar to that used in textbooks in accredited learning institutions, Jguk 22:55, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I disagree with that comment on learning institutions. The book was extremely high quality material, and exceeds quality that the general botony class would give. While incomplete, it far exceeds the Gardening book in detail and raw information. Additionally, it has a pleasant writing style. Finally, no one can really tell the future, but from what I've seen, the movement to legalize Cannabis is growing stronger (I know it is decrimitalized in Cannada, and legal for Medicinal purposes in 11 states, not to mention the many European countries that support it). For all we know, it will be legalized (in the US) the future, and a book would be useful to any pharmacist interested in making Medicinal MJ. Of course, we now move into the area of "what ifs", but Wiki Science isn't in any accredited learning institution, and "what ifs" is the only thing that separates it from junk. --Dragontamer 23:29, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
