First I want to thank everyone involved for starting the Cannabis Botany and Advanced Techniques forum. I have found a new home.
I want to offer the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress, Second Edition, Expanded and Revised.
I have all chapters in pdf format.
I have read most of these at least once and some will be more pertinent to us cannabis people than others. I will do them by request in order to get these up first.
