Sorry for posting in the advanced growing thread but I want some good advice.Well I'm looking to purchase a growing book of some sort for indoor and outdoor,but didn't have a clue which book to purchase.So if anybody has a great book to refer me to that would be great.Links to other sites with good grow info would be cool to.Thanks.

The book by Jorge Cervantes is good, especially for your first book because it covers all the bases.

I recomend Mel Franks. I bought it because its the one Uncle Ben recomends
http://www.amazon.com/Marijuana-Growers-Guide-Deluxe-Revised/dp/0929349032

Marijuana specific books are a waste of money imo. Especially Jorge Cervantes, I'm pretty sure that guy doesn't even grow.
Edit: There are exceptions. Mel Frank is a good example. He's an actual horticulturist, but wouldn't you want to learn how he learned?

If you want to grow soil organics, then I highly recommend these books:
http://www.soilfoodweb.com/resources.html
Understanding the microbiology and how it affects plants is extremely important. Book #7 is probably has the most all around benefit. Books two and three will help for your "nutrients" and understanding of nutes.

You want to learn something about genetics besides the basic punnett squares?
http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=Genetics:+from+Genes+to+Genomes&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=10449590627361183158&sa=X&ei=XU_eTtCrKOeOsQK1xuCZBw&ved=0CDkQ8wIwAQ

Now that you have your grow medium down, you should probably learn a little about light refraction and plants reaction to light.

Now that you know how to breed, have a medium down, and know something about your light source you could read mj specific books to learn about their optimal environment conditions.

I've only got the one since a buddy gave it to me . It's titled: Marijuana Growers insiders guide

I got Ed Rosenthal's Marijuana Grower's Handbook. It's the textbook for Oaksterdam University.
Tons of information.

soma's style of growing... its like 10 bucks on amazon

i,ve read just bout everyone, the growers bible was easiest for me to understand and it covers everything imo....peace

just wanted to let everyone know who doesn't about this resource...

download BIT TORRENT -- www.bittorrent.com
then go to www.thepiratebay.org
search any of these books listed and download them for free as pdf's

i did this and got most of the titles listed in this thread, all downloaded and working in less than a few minutes.
use your computers people!

I believe I got that through a link here on RIU. The pdf was created by a reader of scottyballs.

I have gathered some of the best ganja books out there, sometimes searching dark recesses of the net to find them, while torrents are a integral part of that, I usually find shit buried deep, on a remote website somewhere. If I can manage to find the damn bookmark I will either post it or PM you if you have enough posts by then.

i think you need 50 posts before you can get PM's.

I highly recommend The Garden Saver, by Ed Rosenthal. It's a great reference book. I attended a class Ed taught in my area. Great person! peace

Thanks unohu69, I was wondering why I couldn't PM you instead of posting in the thread. I don't have much to post yet as I am new to hydroponic growing, and well can't do much without seeds or clones anyways (hard to find when you actually want them! ha ha). The last seed I tried germinated but didn't grow past a half inch before dying in the coco peat. If I can ever get anything to grow I'll be using a waterfarm which is why your post sounded so interesting for my situation.

Is it frowned upon to use sites like mediafire.com or rapidfire.com and to host the pdf and post the link here? Just curious still new enough I'm not sure of the general etiquette here (every site is different).

I think I found it with some more searching, is this it?

I think it was the mistyping of scrog as scorg that made the initial search not work. Weird thing is that I also remember changing it to scrog last night and it still didn't work, so don't know why it worked all of a sudden. Anyways on to some reading!
