i've recently justified spending the thirty or so bucks on a hard copy of a good grow book. downside is, i can't get definitive answers on which one would best suit my needs.
as much as i would love to sit at barnes and noble for a couple hours poring over the pages of each candidate, my 9 months prego wife would have something to say about that. she cant stay entertained at barnes and noble as long as i can. and dont even ask me to leave her home, i wont dignify that with a response
in any case, i've come down to three possible books.
the cannabis grow bible by greg green
marijuana horticulture by jorge cervantes
or ed rosenthal's marijuana growers handbook by... ed... rosenthal.
i've read that rosenthals book is poorly written and organized but it's also supposedly the textbook for oaksterdam u. not that that matters much i guess.
jorge cervantes is great to give you a general idea but i cant help but wonder if his book is just overhyped. EVERYONE says his book is great, but i find that oftentimes its a review from someone who doesnt actually own the book, they just pirated the dvd.
im looking for a book that goes into great depth and assumes NO prior experience. what little time i had with greens book was that it makes certain assumptions (even though it claims not to) about your prior knowledge.
my ultimate desire is a book that focuses on the science in action behind the scenes. i want to be taught what makes it tick, not "put a seed in the ground and with a bit of water, out comes a plant!" i believe that if you know the how behind something, it's much easier to troubleshoot when something goes wrong.
barnes and noble had a few other marijuana books on the shelves but i didnt pay much attention to them. most of them were coffee table picture books.
so, based on my needs, can anyone make a solid recommendation for either of these books? or possibly one i didnt mention?
