From the Publisher
Jorge exceeded all of our expectations with his new work. The book has everything anybody could possibly want to know about growing cannabis indoors. It is especially strong on new technology including hydroponics and high intensity lighting. The sections on plant nutrient problems, insects, spider mites and diseases especially fungus are extremely informative. For example, he dedicates four pages of detailed text and two color pages (8 color photos and drawings) exclusively to spider mite control. Click on "see more pictures" to the left of the cover to view just a few of the 39 life-like color drawings and photographs that illustrate specific nutrient (fertilizer) problems. Four case studies detail everything the growers did from beginning to end, including the cost, space and watts employed and actual yield. The index is particularly well done. He is so proud of his new book, that he personally offers a "money back guarantee". See "author comments". This book has always been a top seller, for us, and judging from the runaway sales the first month of publication, the trend continues. We have sold more copies of this book than any other indoor marijuana cultivation book in history. To date, we sold foreign rights in the United Kingdom, Australia, France, Germany, Spain, and Netherlands.

Customer Reviews

Not worth the heavy price tag
This is a two star read for a few reasons. You might not know that it is from the eighties when this book first came out with some updates. The author does not cover any fluorescent lights at all which I think is crazy because these are important for young seedlings and clones. The hydroponics designs are from old nineteen seventies systems that no one uses any more and neither do I. The author says that clones degrade the more you take clones from a clone and then builds a breeding section around this mistake. The nutrient feeding techniques are sometimes untested. The author actually reprints the same mistake that marijuana book author Ed Rosenthal made for solving Mg problems. Do not use the Mg solver. It usually causes lock out and also over feeds them. Only one harvesting method is given out of a possible three or four that you could do. The problem solving plant nutrient problem pictures are interesting to look at in the book and probably the reason to get this book, but do not solve the problem just by identification using these illustrations. You would do better to pay attention to your feeding schedule and nutrient content. Mistakes can be forgiven but this update is not an improvement on the previous book. The shabby design gives the impression that it was done quickly and cheaply. The photographs are not bad but far from quality. There are frequent spelling mistakes and a lot of noise between the pages that brings down the quality of this read considerably. You would do better to make sure that you read up on other books if you decide to try this one out. It will be interesting to keep a copy of this one around just to compare it to the next update because this author needs to change quite an awful lot of the material here. This is a poor update that strongly needs revision.

Hold off getting this one
I heard on www.overgrow.com that the author of this book is writing a new book because this one was not that good. It had a lot of spelling mistakes and bad grammer with quite a few errors. So you may want to check out overgrow.com for more details. This book was okay but there are better books out there and is one of the reasons why the author is making a new book. I hope this helps you out.

Great, but could have been better
Jorge covers everything you want to know about indoor marijuana growing, only there are frequent errors and contradicting statements. It also could have been better organized, but its vast supply of info makes up for these shortcummings.
