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.
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!  This efficient Swiss greenhouse has mother plants up on top where there is more sunlight and clones on the bottom where the light is less intense. Photos by Jorge Cervantes  This beautiful Swiss garden covered about two acres.
