5.0 out of 5 stars Grow monster sized buds indoors, July 25, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Marijuana Flower Forcing: Secrets of Designer Growing (Paperback)

This book simplifies the often confusing subject of indoor growing. Tom seems to know the subject better than other indoor gardening authors. All areas of gardening are covered. I liked the book a lot. A must for the cannabis gardener. I especially liked the historical information.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, August 6, 1999

This review is from: Marijuana Flower Forcing: Secrets of Designer Growing (Paperback)

Only one page in chapter 4 " Outdoor Growing Tips" that discusses flower forcing techniques outdoors. And,there are only three pages in this "Chapter" !! Lots of good info if you are an indoor grower, but the book did not offer what I was looking for.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good Info! Pee-yew writing!, November 10, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Marijuana Flower Forcing: Secrets of Designer Growing (Paperback)

I just finished this book, and while I am by no means an expert, I've "forced" a few flowers in my time. For the most part the information is good and I did find a few nuggets that I definitely will use (very interesting the part about napthelene), but --sorry Tom-- the writing is stinko! The sentence structure is so poor and "high school" that at times I found myself having to read some sentences over and over again so I could understand what he was talking about! I wasn't stoned reading this, but he may have been stoned writing it. There's constant annoying reiteration of material and I haven't quite figured out if that is intentional or just more poor writing. It's kind've like, "As a said in the last sentence and the last paragraph and the last chapter...blah blah blah." I also found a few direct contradictions with other books that are considered classics and tried-and-true bibles on the subject. Ouch Tom! COOLER temperatures promote females, not hotter! Again, a few very interesting points and techniques, but for the most part information that is better had from other books. I recommend spending ten more bucks and purchasing Indoor Marijuana Horticulture by Jorge Cervantes. A few typos, but the info is excellent, well-researched, well-illustrated, complete and clear.
