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.

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 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.

Well Jorge! you've done it again. I love the case studies and especially the many many coloured pictures. He seems to have covered all bases with this new work. All the stuff you wanted to know about. And all the stuff you didn't know you would like to know about, are within the bounds of this excellent new publication. For sure, he certianly must have covered a few miles to put this book together. It really is The Indoor Bible of Marijuana Horticulture. Well done Jorge!

This book contains everthing you need to know about growing weed and then some! It covers every topic- from setting up your growroom to breeding. The way it is written makes it very easy for beginners to read it (no technical jargon) The chapter on lights and electricity is extremely detailed; it contains graphs, charts and tables showing the efficiency of all the different types of lights. The chapter on water and fertilizer gives you almost every type of fertilizer there is and explains their nutrient content etc. and tells you which brand names that are most commonly used. And it gives you some good soil mixes to use; I could go on for ages about what this book contains. The book does have a couple of down sides (that's why I only give it 4 stars) but they're mainly cosmetic.- All of the photos are black and white and are not the best quality, but they're o.k. It appeals more to the bigger scale growers (it talks about using basements as growrooms and 1000w lamps) but is still very useful for the small closet grower. There's are lot's of speling and? punct,uation errers# But trust me, it is a good book and is worth buying.

With the way times change, this new edition of Indoor Horticulture is as indispensable now as its predecessor was in its moment. In the multidisciplinary field of indoor growing Mr Cervantes steers enerringly betwixt the science of closet cultivation and the art of growing kind herbs. Whether you're off-and-going or up-and-coming this book has everything you need to know and then some. If you have a problem that isn't mentioned here, maybe you're growing a different plant... that's where the high-quality color photos come in handy. As the cover suggests, an "illuminating" book that leaves no stone unturned, not even the sobering memory of thousands of drug war prisoners in jail for growing marijuana. Highly recommendable.

This book is very detailed in all aspects of Marijuana Horticulture. The only problems are that it lacks a little info. on seed companies and is a tiny bit too technical for me. It is still by far more detailed on all chapters than any other indoor grow book. It's also very well formatted. I've read 8 books on this subject and so far, this is the best book I've read. I recommend that anyone serious about the subject, purchace this book.

Grown a garden before and needed help with pests and problems? I did, but then I got this book. With this book I saved the crop this year, from spider mites to mold - we had it all and were able to find the answers we needed in the Indoor Bible.
The color pictures and drawings are really clear and helpful, and the whole book reminds me of a college text book with it's sections in logical order and a bunch of references at your fingertips to help figure things out.
There are a lot of grow books out there with lots of pretty pictures, but this one is seriously informative and yet easy to use for all us stoners. Great tips on security and safety of indoor gardening make this a lifesaver considering the current state of paranoia in some countries.

i started smoking a year ago at 32 now ive read this book and in no time i have several seedling growing. this is the first time anything i planted has lived. if i can do it you can to.

If you are a begginer looking for information on growing MJ or a more experienced grower requiring ideas then you will do very well to avoid this book. The material is poorly laid out, is often confusing as it is littered with spelling mistakes and seems to have been done in a slap dash manner [...] lots of ideas and details on hydroponic cultivation are very dated and would seem to date back to the late 1970's.[...]
