This book might be helpful for Cannabis growers who don't have any background in plant breeding and genetics but still want to start their breeding projects. Experienced plant breeders can also benefit from this book by learning about some of the Cannabis-specific breeding goals and issues.

On the other hand, oversimplification of scientific explanations, incorrect uses of botanical terms, and the whole section in which the author expresses his skepticism about the theory of evolution make this book cringy.

The Cannabis Breeder's Bible: The Definitive Guide to Marijuana Genetics, Cannabis Botany and Creating Strains for the Seed Market
by Greg Green (Green Candy Press 2005)(635). This is a manual on cannabis genetics. It defines how one must isolate and stabilize a strain to make it breed true. My rating: 7/10, finished 6/10/14.

Didn't really discuss any real life breeding projects...
Little to NO discussion of known strains and genetics with Inheritance patterns.
