Jorges cervantes book.......2007-09-22

I had previously owned this book. I find the new one very imformative. I am a medical marijuana patient adn hope to put it to good use.

Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible By Jorge Cervantes.......2007-09-13

This is a very informative reference book. It covers many aspects of growing. The information as well as the photographs make this a must have for anyone who wants to grow medicine.

Still Awesome Companion for Video.......2007-08-23

Even though Jeorge Servantez has 2 awesome grow videos out now, this book has everything you need to know, albeit short on hydroponics, however I guess his second movie takes care of this. At any rate, this is a great reference companion for any grower written by one of the top photographers and growers in Europe who also writes for High Times.

Everything ya need to grow some marijuana.......2007-08-23

Ive always been hesitant to buy any 'Grow it Yourself' books. There are so many out there and so many opinions. But for years ive heard references to the 'bible' of growing. Finally broke down and coughed up the dough, and was it sure worth it! Anyone that can follow directions can grow great top of the line quality marijuana!

Buy this book and grow quality not garbage!

A good addition to a grower's library.......2007-08-19

The information in this book is thorough. Lots of stuff to learn for beginners and experienced growers alike. The only criticism I have is the garish design of the book itself. It also could have been several pages lighter if he removed all of the adverts! Advertising does not have a place in a book like this. If you want to make an Appendix at the end with resources and links then fine, but don't make me wade through several pages of ads for seed companies, fertilizers, and grow mediums.

I actually prefer the Greg Green book better, although the information is not as comprehensive as the Cervantes book.

The Cannabis Grow Bible: The Definitive Guide to Growing Marijuana for Recreational and Medical Use

I find the two together complement each other quite well...so get both!

VERY HELPFUL BUT NOTHING NEW.......2007-01-04

A good all purpose book, very useful but nothing new to an experienced reader.

Ed is the man.......2006-05-25

I have been useing Ed's books for years. I follow his column in heads magazine and Cannabis Culture magazine. He knows what he is talking about. This book is the ultimate handbook. It tells you everything you need to know to get a garden started. I think this book is very easy to follow and is a great buy. Theinformation is priceless. I trust Ed and this book.

One of the better ones.......2005-04-07

I read 90% of this book front to back when I first recieved it. It could have been organized better, and yes it did seem to jump around a bit, but it had some quality information that are the building blocks for the best techniques available.

great handbook.......2005-01-11

This is a great starter book for any grower. I still refer to this book many times. The information is great and useful. A book for people who are starting to grow.

Good Presentation - Fair coverage of marijuana topics.......2003-06-05

This is an okay reference book. I found this book easier to navigate than Indoor marijuana Horticulture by Jorge Cervantes which is packed with information but not well presented. Between both of these guides I was able to improve on my cultivation techniques but there are gaps still not covered by both works. If you find yourself in this kind of a situation then I recommend that you look for normal botany books on growing. I have a collection of other readings which helped. You might have to go down that route too.

Customer Reviews:

Setting the Record Straight.......2006-07-06

I just wanted to reply to J. Schachter's "The Critic" review of this book, which is spotlighted above. Not only did he omit some crucial info about Jorge's book, but his own statements have been proven false this year.

We now know the US government IS tracking "our every click" on the Internet. He also omitted Jorge's good suggestion that all marijuana growers using the Internet to post about their grows should use a PROXY SERVER. That is how he says to avoid big brother looking over your shoulder, not just getting a hotmail account.

So Jorge was NOT wrong in his statements, but it is indeed this "critic" (who has never reviewed anything else on Amazon.com), who is wrong.

I am an IT professional as well and can say that Jorge's statements regarding the Internet DO BELONG in his book (since so many growers use the Internet to exchange information), and are good tips. It seems the "critic" has an axe to grind since he couldn't be bothered to discuss the main content of the book which is about growing marijuana.

it's an OK guide BUT .......2005-04-02

okay all the typos and grammatical errors got to me too. this book has a lot of good information BUT I too, found incorrect information. Cervantes also contradicts himself a lot because in his articles in high times grow magazine, he says things that are total opposites from the book. i prefer his articles to this book BUT it did have some information that i found helpful. there has to be better stuff out there though.

The definitive indoor grow guide .......2005-02-22

In 1983 when I first became interested in the subject this book was the definitive indoor grow guide and it still is today and I like Mr. Cervantes style too instead of writing several books and you have too buy them all to find all the information you need he writes one complete book and updates it every few years with new stuff keep up the good work.

Terrible.......2005-02-09

This book reads like it was written by a 4th grader. I threw this in the garbage after the first few chapters. There is information in it that I know to be completely wrong, so how could I trust the rest of the information?

The book gets basic facts wrong, things that are easily verifiable to anyone who has an Internet connection. The first part of the book, for some reason, gives you a short history on the Internet, but almost everything in that section is completely wrong.

For example, the author says that the Internet was designed by the government to track your every click, and you can make yourself anonymous by getting a firewall and a hotmail account. Rediculous!

Every paragraph has basic spelling and grammatical errors, making this book difficult to read. The author jumps around topics incoherently, and makes references to things that aren't fully explained.

Save your money and get a better book. This one is a JOKE.

Not worth the heavy price tag.......2004-08-31

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.

Customer Reviews:

excellent.......2007-03-08

I think this book is great for anybody interested in the growth process of marijuana, it is step by step and very easy to follow. For people that smoke weed and never really thought of growing their own, reading this book will deffinately show you that it is an easy way to save money by growin your own weed.

Good book for setting up grow area.......2006-06-27

5 different gardens, from small to large, are profiled here. Many great ideas. Highly recommended.

Small book with some garden designs.......2003-12-22

Five easy gardens is what you are buying here and is exactly what you get to see. This book is suitable for anyone who wants to see how some other growers do it. Cervantes goes to Europe to interview and photograph growers. He then uses the information they give him to write a book about how they grow. Interesting.

Great for the small timer.......2003-04-29

Jorge Cervantes, Mel Frank and Ed Rosenthal to the literate (not quite stoned out of thier head smoker) these names should mean something, these three guys have not only writen books that have recieved international recognition but have grown crops that have won yearly at the Cannibis Cups, all you people who say you read and review High Times, please take a break from your swag stuff and do some reading.This book is full of info for the first timer and those who want to start and stay on a small scale, if you just want to know how to start this will get you there, but if you are going to hang with the big boys get off the porch and start studying.

This book rocks!!.......2002-06-22

This book rocks! It really shows some excellent examples for everyones level of interest. I only wish it would show a Garden using a 250w system.

Great book.......2007-10-03

This book was a good read. Everything I want to know about growing and cultivating my plants was there. Along with some great tips for my plants and thier health.

I Loved This Book.......2006-11-01

I was really pleased with the outlook this book gave me on growing medical cannabis. It contain lots of helpful imformation and it simplified my approach to growing Cannabis. SOMA actually speaks of the Cannabis plant with a respect and reverance that is rare in American culture where the plant is categorized negatively and used as a symbol for rebellion. I suggest this book to all of my friends and all those interested in growing and I hope that this kind of reverance for this perfect plant becomes contagious in our society.

Soma Review.......2006-06-27

I was pleasantly surprised that a such a small book could deliver so much information. I have yet to discover a better book on Organic Cannibis cultivation. Even if you are not growing in Soil or totally organic it will still give you some great growing ideas.

Nice to have, not must have........2006-05-21

Good book, but not comprehensive.

If you're just starting out and want a good book that covers the fundamentals I would start with either "Grow Great Marijuana" or "The Cannabis Grow Bible". Both are are good introductory books with GGM as a Dummies book and TCGB as a great intro to genetics and breeding.

However, this book makes a good addition to the library and it's worth the price.

If I learned anything.........2006-05-18

..I learned to respect the plant as a living object. I really enjoyed this book. This is not for the beginner but should greatly improve someone who has a basic understanding. I think it's more for turning the hobby into a form of artwork. He teaches you how to look for body language in your garden and grow the healthiest organic medicine you can.

Read the book and learn.......2004-06-28

I disagree with the disparaging reviews. I felt like it was very practical and really gave important information for growing in a small area (4x4 ft- hence "closet cultivator").

Debugging the lies.......2002-02-03

I've read this book several times and found it very useful. Though decievingly complicated, a little extra attention can help you make a cheap and effective system. The top three reviewers are obiously all the same person(they have similar comments and come from the same place; no coincidence). The reviewer didnt even read the book, saying that there is no information on making system. There is plenty of info on making cheap to expensive systems, organic or hydroponic. He then pats himself on the back to sell his own book, whos title i was too disgusted to read. Ignore the above three commments and buy this book, it will change your life.

Totally Misleading Title.......2001-12-07

When I bought this book I thought it looked great and would give me the information needed to set up a small grow system. But, there was absolutely no information about setting up systems of any kind, instead it was all basic info, like plants need water to survive! I just wish that there was an option for negative stars. I would recommend Sea of Green by Hans, Marijuana Grower's Guide by Mel Frank, or Indoor Marijuana Horticulture each of these books, in contrast to this one, give clear and relevant information thatwould help anyone set up a basic grow system.

Very little practical information........2001-11-20

I agree with the other reviewers that this is a very basic book. It really seems to just cover the basic theory of marijuana and cultivation without ever getting into the specifics. There was absolutely no guidance on how to set up a closet system, why you should, what the benefits or problems would be. The illustrations were all of large scale gardens and didn't explain how to set the room up. The color pictures were ok but not anything I haven't seen before.

Just the Basics.......2001-10-23

This book is poorly written, full of outdated information, and is not for serious growers. Might be interesting for a teenager who is considering growing, but lacks the information needed to be successful. I've read a lot of grow books, and this is one of the worst I've seen. In fact, I've thrown it in the recycling bin.

Collecting the best of Ed Rosenthal’s articles on indoor cultivation, this large-format, colorfully illustrated guide shows how growers have addressed such issues as working in small spaces; supplementing with carbon dioxide; and using lighting and other techniques to maximize quality and yield in any indoor garden.

Fine for the coffee table but not a good book for practical tips.......2007-02-08

I was quite disappointed when I recieved this book. I purchased it thinking it would be the first book of a great cannabis growers library and it turned out that it was inadequate for my purposes. It was a fluff book (more like a heads magazine) full of information that turned out to be incomplete and not that useful especially for a beginner. This is not a book to be used on its own. I would rather suggest the Marijuana Growers Handbook by the same author which has more complete info and I really liked Somas grow book as well.

learn techniques and secrets for indoor growing........2005-01-11

I really like this book. It has great pictures and information in it. It really explores the field of indoor growing with some depth. The stories are very informative and helpful to the grower. If you are a fan of Ed Rosenthal and what he's done in this field you will love this book.

Might be just what you're looking for.......2004-02-14

This book is perfect if you're like me and get a little overwhelmed or intimidated by all the information and choices in a lot of how-to books. So this is what I want and probably what you'd like too- a chance to look at a bunch of real people's gardens and find out how they did, what choices they made and how it turned out. That sounds simple but this is a really nice book to have. These are gardeners sharing with other gardeners and that really appeals to me. Also, this book is beautiful- magazine-sized and so many pictures. It's a great book to sit and flip through.

Its cheap!.......2003-12-22

It cheap on content and so cheap on the price tag. At 80 pages this does not merit much of a purchase unless you are a hardcore fan of the Ed series of grow books. Its an average book about cannabis grow rooms and be honest nothing that you have not seen before in the Cannabis Culture magazine that Ed now writes for. I would recommend a subscription to CC mag instead or in addition to this.

look into pot grower's gardens!.......2003-05-23

How fun it was to take a full-color tour of forbidden places with Ed. I've thought for years how great it must be as a well known marijuana author...the things they must see.
Each garden in the book has an interesting story and it's own unique circumstances making it packed with grow tips. There's lots of pictures and the whole design is cool
I would tell my friends to buy this book and because of the reasonable price of 13 bucks they can.

Not a very good "how to" book.......2000-07-08

"How to" books should guide a novice through the process of doing something in a very detailed step-by-step process. This book doesn't. It is sometimes vague and leaves the reader asking many questions. I guess you could use this manual to gain some general info, but you may be disappointed in its lack of specific "how to" instruction. The photographs are very nice.

Not as great as it seems!.......2000-06-24

The photos are great, and the language is kept simple. Beyond that this book has little to offer. It insists on a particular growing method without informing about other methods. The authors insistence upon using Metal Halides over High Pressure Sodium lighting is mind boggling. While most of the book is written in a simple and easily understood manner, the chapter on fertilizers contains more jargon than a PHD thesis. Use your money to buy a better book.

One of THE best growing books I have ever read.......1999-09-27

I have read many titles on the topic of growing marijuana, and this one takes the cake. It contains methods and sources of everything essential to growing your own pot. Good ideas too. I grew one of my best crops ever while using this book.

Oh yeah the book. Well all I know is that is was good. I loved the stuff on hydroponics.... ponics...ponics... that's a funny word dude! I'ts like "i'm hooked on ponics" Anyhoo- its um...

I found that this book does a better job explaining how to grow than most books, but i still found that i had some questions at the end. Some parts can be quite confusing, but overall it gave pretty clear instructions. This is a good reference book, but don't depend only on this book if you plan on growing.
