Cannabis Cultivation: A Complete Grower's Guide Reviews

    Wow. More information than I ever needed to know about growing...and I'm not saying that like it's a bad thing! It's just that I will never be at the level that this book is geared towards. There really is a gold mine of information here for novices to serious commercial growers. What I found really interesting was all the tips on how to avoid being detected by the authorities and the final chapter with advice on what to do if you find yourself in a courtroom. As a newly spoiled Coloradoan, I hopefully will never have to worry about that, because if the federal government ever descends upon my lovely state in a search and destroy mission, they'll have bigger fish to fry. In the end I will most likely throw some seeds in a pot of dirt in my living room and try to remember to water them. And if that doesn't work for me, well, there's a recreational dispensary 15 minutes away.

    Tons and tons of good info about all aspects of growing. The 3rd edition came out in 2012 so I think some info is outdated. Also, I think there's more specialized products these days to make growing easier than the book describes. Still gave it 5 starts because the theory is all the same and the information in this book is top notch.
