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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indoor Marijuana horticulture, October 18, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Indoor Marijuana Horticulture - The Indoor Bible (Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible) (Paperback)

This book just came off the presses in Sept. It is the absolute best book on indoor growing I have ever seen. It has everything you could possibly want to know. The author traveled all over the world to talk to the best growers everywhere. The parts I liked best include the new information on lighting and nutrients. He even has exact color photos and drawings of each nutreint problem. It is also packed with right on info about each nutrient. The info on insects and fungi is phenomonal. It solved all my problems. All the newest information on lighting too.

This review is from: Indoor Marijuana Horticulture (Paperback)

If you want to grow lots of dope, this is the book! The hydroponics chapter is right on. I have been reading Jorge's articles in High Times and using his book. I sent my two kids through college with the proceeds. Thanks.

This review is from: Indoor Marijuana Horticulture - The Indoor Bible (Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible) (Paperback)

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.
