From the Publisher

Gardening Indoors has been one of our bestsellers for 15 years. Gardeners love the completeness and simple easy-to-understand approach.

From the Author

I have been fascinated with indoor gardening for more than 20 years. In the early 1980s there was little information on the subject, so I started to do research. I made hundreds of phone calls and visited countless nurseries. Soon my work was published in Organic Gardening, Houseplant and Growing Edge magazines. The research progressed into the Gardening Indoors Series - NEW REVISED GARDENING INDOORS, GARDENING INDOORS WITH CO2, GARDENING INDOORS WITH CUTTINGS, GARDENING INDOORS WITH HID LIGHTS, GARDENING INDOORS WITH ROCKWOOL. This is the only series of books that deals with indoor gardening and High Intensity Discharge lighting. The series has helped hundreds of thousands of indoor gardeners enjoy exotic flowers and vegetables grown indoors. I am also available at our web site .

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for gardening indoors with H.I.D. Lights., July 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Gardening Indoors, New Revised (Paperback)

Gardening Indoors should be considered the bible for indoor gardening. It has a chapter dedicated to the important topic of lighting. It compares different garden light systems including High Intensity Discharge lights such as High Pressure Sodium and Metal Halide lights as well as different types of fluorescent lighting. This book also contains extensive information on controlled environments including temperature, humidity, and even the potential for Carbon Dioxide enrichment and its benefits. Gardening Indoors also has an excellent chapter on hydroponics. It talks about water and fertilizers, natural pest control, and organics. Anyone growing anything from orchids to vegetables indoors should have this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent book, reccommend to any drug grower, July 29, 1998

This review is from: Gardening Indoors, New Revised (Paperback)

i used this book as a guideline for growing my dope crop over the last 16 months now. so far ive had 4 successful crops each in excess of ten pounds of head, and thats with only four plants! the methods described in this book are also great for the home grower as you no longer need worry about snoopers in your backyard because noone but you knows what's in your cupboard (be careful though the electricity co. might get sus.) in summary i reccommend this book to anyone interested in home hydro, as i said it certainly helped me!
