5.0 out of 5 stars Debugging the lies
I've read this book several times and found it very useful. Though decievingly complicated, a little extra attention can help you make a cheap and effective system. The top three reviewers are obiously all the same person(they have similar comments and come from the same place; no coincidence). The reviewer didnt even read the book, saying that there is no information...

1.0 out of 5 stars Not as simple as I thought!
I had read the previous edition and it seems a lot clearer than this one, except for the chapters that are repeated verbatum. It seems like new technology has made things more complicated instead of simpler and Ed seems to jump from one thing to another without much structure. As usual though Ed's writing is good for a laugh, not for nothing did High Times call him an...

Tom (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
I've read this book several times and found it very useful. Though decievingly complicated, a little extra attention can help you make a cheap and effective system. The top three reviewers are obiously all the same person(they have similar comments and come from the same place; no coincidence). The reviewer didnt even read the book, saying that there is no information on making system. There is plenty of info on making cheap to expensive systems, organic or hydroponic. He then pats himself on the back to sell his own book, whos title i was too disgusted to read. Ignore the above three commments and buy this book, it will change your life.

4.0 out of 5 stars Needs organizing, April 25, 2001
By 
I have read all of the grow guides on the net, but when I saw this book in the bookstore (I live in Switzerland, where pot is legal), I just had to buy it.

It is very interesting and if you just read a few growguides available for free on the net (to get a general idea for what you're into), you'll be fine. The book is very simple to understand, and in plain english.

The book needs a little reorganizing, though, as the chapters are arranged in a haphazard way (that's why it got only 4 stars instead of 5). Other than that, it is a very useful book, and a lot of information that you find in here, you won't be able to find anywhere else (including the free growguides available on the net).

I think it's a good investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Check out the new revised edition., August 26, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Closet Cultivator (Paperback)
If you get this book make sure you get the new revised edition put out by Quick American Archives. The cover is a photograph of a closet, not a painting.As always Ed Rosenthal does a great job of walking you through all stages of cultivation. This new edition has a color photo section too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Read the book and learn, June 27, 2004
By A Customer
I disagree with the disparaging reviews. I felt like it was very practical and really gave important information for growing in a small area (4x4 ft- hence "closet cultivator").

It seems like new technology has made things more complicated instead of simpler and Ed seems to jump from one thing to another without much structure. As usual though Ed's writing is good for a laugh, not for nothing did High Times call him an expert on fertilizer. The pictures are excellent and that it is a nice change to see an affordable grow book with some good bud pictures.

4.0 out of 5 stars A basic read for the hydro grower, September 4, 2010
Again a basic read but this one is geared toward the hydro grower and covers it well. It covers everything not in alot of detail and not with any technical mumbo jumbo. Short, Sweet, Simple and to the point. Kudos to Ed Rosenthal!!! A must First read to the first time grower and I believe this one should be in everyones library.

Happy Growing

5.0 out of 5 stars The Closet Cultivator Growing Marijuana Indoors by Ed Rosenthal, July 25, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is a great book for beginers in states that it is OK to grow medical marijuana. It tells you begining to end , and how to fix over watering ,over feeding. But dont get a book that can send you to jail! Only get this book if you are in a medical marijuana state.
