The most comprehensive work written on the subject to date., 1 Aug 1999

If you want just one book on this topic this is the one. It is as the title promises, a complete guide to modern techniques for growing high yield, high potency marijuana in an inside space. One thing it is not is a platform for "Cannabis politics" or a comment on modern Cannabis culture. Very much a practical guide, it presents the last twenty years experience that has been gained developing this very specialised field in a manner comprehensible to all.Although it is mainly slanted at modern hydroponic methods, soil planting is also covered, as is outside growing, Cannabis biology, climate control, pest and rot control, lamp types, nutrient types, strains, breeding, security and many other topics too numerable to mention. Refreshingly, for such an in depth book it does not assume much prior knowledge of the topic, though it will answer almost any question you may have unless you are an experienced commercial grower (for example computer automation of hydroponic systems is not touched upon). Practical illustrated examples and case studies provide models upon which to build various gardens, from growing cupboards to multi-room, continuous production projects. Though this is primarily aimed at the motivated hobbyist, I suspect many commercial growers have a copy of this on their shelves for reference. I would heartily recommend this book to anyone starting off in the field - it is an unforgiving subject and there is no substitute for being properly informed. For those with experience - you will undoubtedly learn something new.
