Skip it, buy Jorge's main book
Just read through this... there isn't much more in this book that you can't find in Jorge's other book Marijuana Horticulture. That book is much larger and more comprehensive and includes the majority of the information found in this Grow Basics book... Nice pics though.

Good Beginers Guide To Growing Plants In General!
Not really big on Cannabis however the growing techniques used are much more interesting than other plants!!

This is a good example and reference book. I had read the "horticulture Bible" from Jorge before this. There was some new stuff in here and also simplified the process of growing techniques compared to the bible. I recommend having both!

I really liked the 12 week cycle walkthrough on this book!!

I really wish Jorge would make a book with these 12 weeks "or so" example using different strains and atmospheres!

Example:
130w LED + Areoponics + blueberry VS. 8 6500k T5 + DWC Hydro + blueberry

Now Compare results.

I would like to compare the grow characteristics of all these NEW growing technologies! Example: hydro, areo, led, compact cfls,
"Pretend HPS HID lights, soil are all n/a"

"I want to see LED technology work to the best of its ability"
