4.0 out of 5 stars A must have for people thinking about getting into hydro, April 20, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Commercial Hydroponics: How to Grow 86 Different Plants in Hydroponics (Hardcover)
This book is packed with information. It is easy to read and straight to the point. I loved the section covering how to grow the different plants. It really eliminated the guess work concerning the nutrient solution requirements for a particular type of plant. I look forward to even more plants being covered in future editions.

3.0 out of 5 stars Weak nutrient and aeroponic information!!!, February 13, 2004
By 
Mike Khouri (Hudson, Quebec Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Commercial Hydroponics (Paperback)
This book was written south of the equator, take that fact into account when applying the author's studies. Very weak nutrient formula information. For commercial operations, more emphasis should have been made on formulations and chemistry. In the section about individual crop formulations, the author tends to use ratios rather than ranges, leaving a very vague taste in your mouth. Mason's nutrient information in this section does not co-relate to the information given in his previous sections, major logical flaws. All supplier references are extensive and complete for someone who lives in Australia, if you live in North America, they're useless. --.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good reference, especially for nutrient information, March 30, 2000

This review is from: Commercial Hydroponics: How to Grow 86 Different Plants in Hydroponics (Hardcover)
A fine nutrient reference for specific plants and systems. Not real big on systems "techie" info, but it covers all the major types. I rate it a 'must have' for beginner or advanced grower.
