Ed's new book: Marijuana Grower's Handbook is the best. It has very detailed information on every aspect of growing cannabis. I like that the book is very linear and has sections like water and nutrients. It is very easy to pick out a chapter for study and then apply it to the garden. I just saw Ed yesterday at HempCon San Jose and he is one passionate guy. He rallied the troops for Prop. 19 and answered every garden question from the audience. What an enthusiastic guy. By the way, I purchased the book at a hydroponics store and the cover split right away. I was given a free copy that Ed autographed! Nice! I also like that the book spends time on outdoor gardens. This is a vital part of gardening. Most cannabis schools don't spend any time on this and I think it's not fair. There are many outdoor growers and it's nice to know that Ed is there for us, too. I have had many questions on growing and this book is a great resource. The cannabis industry is changing rapidly and it's great to have a champion like Ed Rosenthal. Buy this book and you won't be disappointed.
I had a copy of Jorge Cervantes' Marijuana Horticulture Medical Grow Bible, and the information in that book was a bit more detailed in terms of setting up a garden, understanding the needs of the plants, and even offers a section on genetics and breeding. Knowing how prominent Ed Rosenthal is as a grower, I was a bit disappointed at the content of the book. For example, there is an entire section dedicated to explaining how terpenoids, THC and THC-delta9 affect the brain, and how those effects are perceived. In that same section, it outlines the different isomeric structures of the THC molecule. When I moved on to find detailed information on the curing process, I found a basic two to three page section that barely describes one of the most important processes in producing medical cannabis. The section devotes more time to the expensive gadgets that are used to trim the flowers, and barely covers what the buds will do while curing. Personally, I think it would be a better investment to go with Jorge Cervantes' book and dvd.
ed finally did it, i have been reading his books for years, but finally an easy to read bible with all the stuff you need to grow sticky nugs. atmosphere, varieties, humidity, lighting. cloning, curing many different systems that all work, really a masterpiece.this is not a compilation of previous books, the ganja guru has started from scratch. this is by far the best yet on the subject. A MUST HAVE BOOK
this is by FAR!!!the best book on the subject so far....love it, if you get one book on growing you have to get this one. I own Jorge Cervantes medical marajuana grow book, Soma's book and a few others and this one is the one. You won't be disappointed.
Not knowing a thing about growing, I purchased this book and was so glad I did. It covers everything, from seeds to clones, from grow rooms to curing. Most books just assume you know how to do the basics. This book takes you step by step through the growing process. I highly recommend this book, especially if you are a novice.
If you only own one book about cannabis, this is the one to have. That's because it is so extraordinarily comprehensive. No wonder it is used as an official course book at Oaksterdam University, Seriously, this work is encyclopedic in scope, covering every conceivable aspect of cannabis botany, cultivation and use. On behalf of the patients, physicians, nurses, attorneys, and dedicated activists of the American Medical Marijuana Association, it is my pleasure to recommend this outstanding and historic book by Ed Rosenthal. The American Medical Marijuana Association has been fighting for the rights of patients since 1999.
Really not what I was hoping to find in here. Instead of growing tips, basics, and some advice, I found the "pages" of this book (I bought the Kindle version) to be full of unwanted opinions on the state of marijuana in today's culture, some history on growing, and personal anecdotes from the author. I was hoping for an informative read to get me started growing my own medicinal crop, but this fell entirely short.
It kind of skips through a lot very quickly never delving deep into any topic. Like a summary. You'll have questions and the book won't provide the answers and you'll be on google...
