The best book available on pot growing,
By john_smith@hotmail.com (Nederlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Indoor Marijuana Horticulture (Paperback)
I have read pretty much all the books on this subject, I rate this as the best in terms of getting a novice grower to expert status. The books by Rosenthal and Frank cover some aspects in more detail (outdoor growing, history and phenotypes) but are not as good at explaining the process in real terms.It covers all you need to know re: soil, light, air, seeds etc etc. It could do with the cloning section being updated as new materials and theories now exist but it works fine. The best bit is the growers diary which gives you a week by week calender to follow with timely advice given along the way. This takes all the mystery out of growing. My friend, also in Holland (where is is legal to grow) grew a pound of excellent pot on 4 plants using this book on his first grow.

The most comprehensive work written on the subject to date.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Indoor Marijuana Horticulture (Paperback)
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.

The Reviews do not match up.,
This review is from: Indoor Marijuana Horticulture (Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible) (Paperback)
Not the best grow book by any means. I fail to grasp some of the reasons why people are sighting this book as the best out there. I just got it and read it and there are still a few better ones around. The book does not cover all aspects of cannabis cultivation. It covers some of them and most can be found in his other five easy garden books. Although some of the advice is good and up to date there is a still alot to be done to it. The book editing is only okay (The layout is not great and looks rushed). I do not agree with the nutrient information or cloning information. Is the information second hand? I get the feeling the author has more or less talked to other growers instead of giving it a try himself. Any self published books like this one need a second opinion before being released. Good book but far from the hype it is getting. Also most of the information can be found in Mel Frank's grow books. Get this and Mel's and compare the two to try and get some good advice from both. The other book I would recommend is a book called "Cannabis Cultivation" by Mel. That book is actually quite good. This is not the only grow book you need by a long shot. Not as deep as its page number count suggests either. Good but not the best by any means. Needs more information on cloning and 'growing' to put it mildly. There is more than one way to skin a cat. I think it is the book editing that has confused me a little. I am sure others will agree.
