Re: Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible (Paperback)

Yeah this book is just downright amazing. The thing thats nice about it is that it doesn't just tell you what the weed needs to grow. It goes into detail about how to set everything up, lighting insulation reflective material etc etc. This is probably the best book out there for teaching people how to go through the WHOLE process of growing marijuana, not just planting it and fertilizing it

Re: Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible (Paperback)

I took a gander at this book earlier this evening at the book store. It seemed very informative and had a wealth of knowledge packed in there. I may decide to buy it. Still looking at a few of the other books before I make up my mind.

Re: Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible (Paperback)

i picked up this book while in the uk, and overall i am pleased with it but having started my first grow here are my qualms around it: i wished there were more germination/seedling photos, more info on those first early stages of grow as it kind of glosses over those early formative weeks...otherwise it was a solid purchase. the germination process was highly successful thanks to this book (90% of seeds so far).

Re: Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible (Paperback)

This is, by far, the most organized and comprehensive desk reference for cannabis cultivators ever produced. Jorge has refined his methodologies and techniques over the years and its all on paper.

The case study section was super-informative and inspired me to start my own case-studies in a quest to find those optimal/efficient yields.

HIGHLY reccommended by yours truly. The most definitive and colorful book out there, hands down, I'd say.

the "increasing the chances to get a female" section of the book is a lie. Old wives tale.

Re: Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible (Paperback)

Completely true...its a treasure trove of botanical knowledge to valuable for any grower (experienced or not) to own and regularly read.....after picking this book up lighting up your favorite bud and taking a long hard gander you will not only know more but you'll take great cre of plants now having an idea of what your doing and if you already knew then let it serve as a reminder in a 512 page paperback form.....

I read this book many times, I let my brother read it, I let my mom read it, and I re-read it. Great book, and it's quite easy to read if you don't know much about the terminology.
