People ask me all the time to recommend a grow book. Without fail, I always point to Mr. Cervantes work. He has been a respectable icon in the cannabis world for many years, and really knows his stuff.

Grown a garden before and needed help with pests and problems? I did, but then I got this book. With this book I saved the crop this year, from spider mites to mold - we had it all and were able to find the answers we needed in the Indoor Bible.
The color pictures and drawings are really clear and helpful, and the whole book reminds me of a college text book with it's sections in logical order and a bunch of references at your fingertips to help figure things out.
There are a lot of grow books out there with lots of pretty pictures, but this one is seriously informative and yet easy to use for all us stoners. Great tips on security and safety of indoor gardening make this a lifesaver considering the current state of paranoia in some countries.

Frankly, and with all due respect to the author who is recognized as the pre-eminent authority in the field, I was quite disappointed with this book, particularly since it is called the "Bible" of indoor cultivation. This latest edition is rife with typographical and grammatical errors, as well as frequently missing words that often change the entire meaning of a sentence. Author frequently gives contradictory advice from one sentence to the next, and repeats himself in other sentences. Repeats himself in other sentences. Uses three sentences where one would do. Often says the same thing several times, several ways in succeeding sentences/paragraphs.

It was my honest impression that Mr. Cervantes did not use a proofreader in his latest edition of what has been hailed as a classic for many years. The result is a book that comes across as quite amateurish. Further, I found the book poorly organized and the information alternated between so basic as to be common sense and so techno-jargon ladden as to be incomprehensible. Very little middle ground.

Sorry Jorge, I gotta give this one a pan. I know you are capable of better.

great book! this book has taught me everything I know. I see why this book is called the Bible.

Mr. Cervantes presentation of facts and advice is second to none. Having majored in Botany in college, I find the information contained to be the most scientifically correct of any book written, outside of text books, and there's none available on cannabis to compare with given the subject matter. The complexities of cultivation are written in a manner every person should be able to relate to and in an easy to read format with color photos included. Everything is covered in this book so concisely that it need be the only book of its kind on the shelf. I've read probably 90% of the books being marketed on the topic of cannabis and NONE can compare with the factual information contained in this book.

this book sure is one of the most relieable and complete books on how to grow cannabis. i am publisher of the hanf journal, europes biggest hemp journal, and i do know what i'm talking about. and its the only book of that kind, which has successfully done a remake, with new pictures and all important new inventions... respect - jorge!

and it even helped me to get to know this plant, back in the days when i started...;-)

If you are a begginer looking for information on growing MJ or a more experienced grower requiring ideas then you will do very well to avoid this book. The material is poorly laid out, is often confusing as it is littered with spelling mistakes and seems to have been done in a slap dash manner [...] lots of ideas and details on hydroponic cultivation are very dated and would seem to date back to the late 1970's.[...]

This is a book that has become even more relevant in light of High Times' recent frontal lobotomy. True, IMH has a lot of technical words, formulas and charts, but that's the whole point. On the bumpy road to harvest, all those words and numbers take on new meaning. A sudden and uncharacteristic interest in extraction rates, flow capacity and electroconductivity means you're on the right path... and that you need a book that delivers the goods. Despite the odd rough edge, IMH is considered a reference text by many indoor horticulturists. Fortunately, its not the only book on the subject available; strength is in variety and its always good to widen one's sources. But it does provide a solid foundation to build on.

i just harvested my crop and this stuff is totally killer!!, i thank this book, ima get a reputation 4 havin the best pot in town, i just pulled two cones and i can hardly hit the right keys, this book is a killer investment my yield is way up this year ima make a fortune, this book gets five buds from me

This is the only guide you will need, it covers everything you will need to know from A to Z. The book is packed with extensive information on hydroponics, including the Sea Of Green, lighting, soils & soilless mixes, CO2, insect, spider mite, fungus & disease control, fertilizers, nutrient disorders, seeds & seedlings, seed companies, plant care, mother plants, pruning & bending, determining sex, odor control, drying, harvest, medicinal use, safety and security. It also has 200 color photos, 200 b/w drawings, charts & graphs, ALL IN ONE BOOK! I guess that's why they call it "The Indoor Bible".
