 This is an exciting read January 9, 2007

I have yet to 'feild' test this books info yet, but I couldn't put it down. I read it front to back right away and have been designing/planing while reading. I never thought I'd get so into horticulture. This book has me really excited about growing canibus becaused it's so much more than putting some seeds in some soil and watering it. There is a real science/art to growing WELL and this book seems to cover it all from start to finish and after. There is practical help for those who wish to grow in countries where it's illegal, (sound advice from experianced people who grow and have done so for years). I haven't read any other books on this subject to compare it too but I am very pleased with this book and feel I don't need another with more info. To say there are a few gramarical errors in this book is an understatment, but I see this as a testiment to the quality of what they have grown, (or at least what the editor was smoking).
Excelent walkthrough of the overall growing process November 8, 2006

The book is quite nice and easy to read. Most of the steps of the growing process are well explained and detailed. However, in some cases some begginers could find difficult to follow the book. Nice pics that help to understand some stuff, but no pics to help with solve the prolems, like nutrients or diseaseas problems...
It is a very nice book for begginers and a little advanced growers.... I Really recommend it!!!

Valuable resourse. Very easy reading. Lots of pictures and news clippings. A bit opinionated, but I liked it.

A great book based around debunking everything preached before about growing grass and then shows the results of some good growing. It is no longer just about producing a one in a hundred photograph magazine quality plant, but having lots of them and with the potency to back it up.
Greg has a strong incline towards enforcing the right genetics and then covering all the nuts and bolts about growing those genetics. In other words, most growers are just starting with rubbish and ending up with rubbish. He is also into optimizing yields every time for the long term. Greg has his science nailed down flat, and urges a complete revision of how you might have tried growing before. In other words, do it this way and you will not be disappointed.
Ok, so stoners might think the breeding section at the end of the book a little too much for them. Greg, we understand that you have done your homework. You laboured hard to get us this information. But do we really need to know this advanced stuff? Maybe for breeding, if we want to produce our own stock. While that stuff is maybe too hard, it is still very welcome to have it there so that we know he knows he is legitimate.
I love that Greg just presses home how to do it right and just arm-twists all the junk you have heard and read into surrender. He just shows some things that make you think, Duh? Why where growers not taught sometime so simple to understand before?
The organization and presentation of the book does not suck and that counts a lot. It isn't like a pipe beaten old-timer has tried to churn out what they think is best. Greg is an author. His knowledge of cultivation is down on paper. He succeeds with hardly any failings. You don't need to sort through the pages to find the information. It is there, word for word of it.
If you like the "start with good genetics and optimize them" ideology of this book, I strongly recommend that you try and eventually grow some mean Jack Herer from Sensi Seeds.
Well worth getting if you are thinking about growing August 9, 2006

This book does not remind me of anything I have read before. It looks a way more professional than most for these types of books. It has a very workable plan to produce the best results in the smallest of spaces to big basement grows if you want. The strategies are clearly laid out and explained in sufficient detail. Readers can find plenty of pictures, diagrams and illustrations with instructions. It is very motivational. The clear and easy writing style should appeal to anybody. Good luck.
