help/tips/has anyone read ed rosenthals handbook?

the one for oaksterdam? i need some tips and help on growing i havent started yet and will be soon and i was wondering if anyone knows any good books to pick up that would really help and guide me step by step.

I don't know if this is the one from Oaksterdam, but it's Ed's tips:

http://pdfcast.org/p...na-growing-tips

I have "Ed Rosenthals Marijuana Hand book" and its great. Has tons, and I mean TONS of valuable information. Theres a chapter about EVERYTHING. CO2,lighting,nutrients,veg stage,flowering stage, clones,harvesting, I mean there is literally everything in that book.

Highly recommend it.

Yes, I have read it and give it....wait for me to find it here....crap can't find it???...two thumbs up! Didn't we used to have a thumbs up emoticon somewhere around here?!?!?!? Anyway, you can't go wrong with any Jorge Cervantes or Ed Rosenthal book...I also highly recommend any of the grow bibles....you'll need to have good pics to help trouble shooting the plants and these have that, in addition to all the other information about growing this lovely plant.

that is an excellent book i have that one and another one i think its by greg something its the definitive grow bible also a good read and im picking the cervantas one up this tuesday. They are must reads

I have around 40+ cannabis grow books in PDF version if anyone wants them.

Yea, I can hook ya'll up with a link to a bittorrent file with about 30 books and a few dvds...it took all night for me to download them tho....I'd be interested in seeing if you have any books I do not have yet, Akhans...could you give us a list of what you have?

As far as I'm concerned one can never have too much information, so I'm always up for a new book or vid about this subject.

Is it ok to put where you got this torrent from (url)? How big in Gb is the file, just in case I have to hook up an external drive?

Hey man could you get me some of those books?

As I found out, it's more trouble than it's worth for me to upload them with my crappy internet speeds. You can probably find a similar torrent on PirateBay.

the one for oaksterdam? i need some tips and help on growing i havent started yet and will be soon and i was wondering if anyone knows any good books to pick up that would really help and guide me step by step.

This has to be the worst book I've ever read... But it does have some helpful information - just gotta learn to read past all the typos, runons, etc... I suppose he was pretty stoned when he wrote it and whoever edited it was asleep.

cannabis grow bible by greg green must have has alot of information and some good etiquette on growing and smoking
marijuana horticulture the indoor outdoor midical growers bible by jorge cervantes i use this one as a reference for some quick help straight to the point i have them both and they both are great id recomend greg greens book first cuz youll just be overwhelmed with all the pictures and info from jorge if your a newbie

Marijuana Grower's Handbook - Ed Rosenthal

Fantastic book. He goes into a lot of detail about everything our plants need, and more importantly - WHY. And I mean everything. Spectacular read, I'm halfway through it now, and will re-read it just to pick up on the little bits I missed out on. I highly recommend this text.

Cheers,

seriously? it has to be one of the worst books i've ever read - the writing is atrocious and the information is repeated ad nauseum - as if he had to fill 300 more pages than he had written.

Marijuana Grower's Handbook is an embarrassing read and a waste of money. I had looked up to Rosenthal until reading his book which is just a ton of repeated information that you could easily find on these forums or a quick google search.

You should check out Greg Green's Cannabis Grow Bible (if you havn't already), it's actually well written, contains far more information and is updated frequently.

sorry, i'm just angry to be one of the fools who purchased Rosenthal's book before realizing better resources available. If anything, reading his book, i suppose, helped me find this forum and a wealth of information - i had decided to google several things throughout reading the book after I noticed how piss poor the book was (to double check facts and make sure i was doing the correct thing)

I've read through all of Rosenthal's book once (which is a lot like reading through it 3-4 times). I don't plan on ever reading it again.

Ed Rosenthals growers bible is pretty tight. I keep that one and another in my grow room at all times. I'm a new grower but I'm able to watch the progress of my plants with pics in the book. I re-read all the time and learn something each time.

Books are great man but read everything you can. The info won't always be the same in every source but you'll find that it will be generally consistent.

This Forum is a goldmine of information. Read all the beginner 'sticky' notes and guides. Then read some grow journals. Then re-read the guides. Then read some more grow journals. Even if you think you understood something 100% I bet after your first couple of grows you'll have a few light bulbs go off!

There is a lot to be said from learning from the mistakes of others.

Good luck!

Wow, you're pretty seriously bent over that book, I'm sorry to hear that. I agree, a lot of information is repeated in multiple places, however I think it's all within context of the section you're currently reading. For instance, you can read the part about CO2, and he'll mention temperature variances. And when you read the section about temp. and humidity, he'll repeat the acceptable temps when using CO2. What I like about this format is that it's pretty safe to say you can open up one section (as needed) and read it as a stand-alone text, and it will be useful to your current situation.

I, by no means, think it's the only book you should read. I recommend reading anything you can get your hands on, however this one is very easy to understand and goes into a lot of technical and scientific detail, which I appreciate personally.

Cheers,
Past

I have and have read this book and I also have one of the newer copies of Jorges Cervantes' Indoor Marijuana Grow Bible which is also very very useful. Nothing beats Ed's Handbook. The illustrations and layout are superb and the text book size, quality and information ares second to none. Worth the investment to any grower, medical user or activist.
