Product Description

If you own only one book on indoor gardening with lights, this is the book. The New Revised Gardening Indoors sets the standard for indoor gardening all over the world. This bestseller has been in print since 1986 and sold thousands and thousands of copies. Indoor gardeners find everything they could possibly need to know in this book.

This "how-to" book unlocks the door to the world of gardening indoors under fluorescent and high intensity discharge (HID) lamps. Fluorescent lamps help seedlings and low-light plants start earlier and grow stronger. HID lamps are a substitute for the sun!

Only New Revised Gardening Indoors combines the basics of gardening and electrical lighting into this single volume. This complete how-to guide on playing Mother Nature indoors. It's not complicated at all. This book is very user-friendly, easy to read, and packed with graphs, charts and illustrations. Hobby hydroponics is more and more popular, and very affordable. Don't let a winter spoil your gardening fun, take it inside! So, get Gardening Indoors and equip yourself with the information you'll need to save time, save money, and reap the maximum benefits a well run indoor garden can offer.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher
Gardening Indoors has been one of our bestsellers for 15 years. Gardeners love the completeness and simple easy-to-understand approach.

From the Author
I have been fascinated with indoor gardening for more than 20 years. In the early 1980s there was little information on the subject, so I started to do research. I made hundreds of phone calls and visited countless nurseries. Soon my work was published in Organic Gardening, Houseplant and Growing Edge magazines. The research progressed into the Gardening Indoors Series - NEW REVISED GARDENING INDOORS, GARDENING INDOORS WITH CO2, GARDENING INDOORS WITH CUTTINGS, GARDENING INDOORS WITH HID LIGHTS, GARDENING INDOORS WITH ROCKWOOL. This is the only series of books that deals with indoor gardening and High Intensity Discharge lighting. The series has helped hundreds of thousands of indoor gardeners enjoy exotic flowers and vegetables grown indoors. I am also available at our web site .

A great book for gardening indoors with H.I.D. Lights.5
Gardening Indoors should be considered the bible for indoor gardening. It has a chapter dedicated to the important topic of lighting. It compares different garden light systems including High Intensity Discharge lights such as High Pressure Sodium and Metal Halide lights as well as different types of fluorescent lighting. This book also contains extensive information on controlled environments including temperature, humidity, and even the potential for Carbon Dioxide enrichment and its benefits. Gardening Indoors also has an excellent chapter on hydroponics. It talks about water and fertilizers, natural pest control, and organics. Anyone growing anything from orchids to vegetables indoors should have this book.

excellent book, reccommend to any drug grower5
i used this book as a guideline for growing my dope crop over the last 16 months now. so far ive had 4 successful crops each in excess of ten pounds of head, and thats with only four plants! the methods described in this book are also great for the home grower as you no longer need worry about snoopers in your backyard because noone but you knows what's in your cupboard (be careful though the electricity co. might get sus.) in summary i reccommend this book to anyone interested in home hydro, as i said it certainly helped me!
