A guide to growing my own herb?
I’m looking to try my hand at a little backyard weed growing however I live in Alberta with possibly the worlds worst climate for it and I was wondering if there were any print off books online about the subject. Please no rude comments or references to the law because I’m just looking for a book before I take any serious action. BTW I’m a major noob to botany I have no experience with growing marijuana whatsoever. And I have a few things left over from my pet keeping days that might help.
-3’x3’x3′ glass tank with mesh top
-40 gallon glass tank with mesh top as well as a custom uv and heat bulb mount, lights and timer
– various uv and heat lamps
– all sorts of plastic containers
– a small mountable fan
If any of you could point me towards a book that would be great or what type of seed would be best and extremely detailed instructions on how to care and grow it. THANKS

Stick ‘grow marijuana’, ‘marijuana grow’, ‘marijuana grow bible’, etc in a search engine!
Books to download, Jorge via You tube, grow forums for better answers than you’ll get here.
Glance at your local law to see that outside is NOT a good idea:

Sandy asks…
do herbalists grow their own herbs?
I have to write about what career I want to do and why for Health class. I need to know If herbalists grow the medicinal herbs they give people or buy them from somewhere else.
GardenersCardiff answers:
Some of them do indeed grow many of their own herbs, while others find good, trustworthy sources, and purchase them. Some herbs are gathered from the wild because wild herbs are often more potent and pure.

I am looking to grow my own culinary herbs….?
I have a large flower garden in my back yard which I have Lilies planted in. However one large protion of the bed is empty. I was wondering if this would be a good spot to plant some culinary herbs? It only gets sun from sunrise to about 1pm. Would that be ok? I would grow them indoors but my cats would eat them up.
GardenersCardiff answers:
Sounds like a great location. Half a day’s sun should be enough to grow a variety of herbs. Since it’s in a flower garden, flowering herbs might add some interest. Try sage (salvia officinialis) for a nice blue/violet bloom (on mature plants). If you have a long growing season or live in a warmer zone, try pineapple sage. It has bright red blooms above pineapple scented folliage. Another great flowering herb that attracts bees and butterflies is hyssop, which can be used in tea.
Parsley is very easy to grow and will also attract swallowtail and monarch butterflies (their caterpillars love to eat parsley).
Low growing herbs such as thyme are also great for blooms, and cooking
