What is your fave MJ growing bible/book?

I've got enough money to buy one grow bible or book. What do folks recommend? Here's a bit of info on where I'm at and my interests:

• I'm a fairly new indoor grower with one grow under my belt and a second in process.
• 2 400w HPS/MH lights in a small basement grow with room to expand.
• I am an experienced urban gardener of veggies and culinary herbs outdoors.
• All MJ indoor growing in soil.
• I'm fascinated by horticulture and the science behind how plants grow and have some advanced biology training.

Recommendations eagerly awaited!!!!

Thanks,

Zo

I like the one by George Cervantes

I would say Ed Rosenthal's Marijuana growers handbook was the most helpful and informative book I have purchased. Lots of pictures too.

If your going organic don't forget Teaming with Microbes by Jeff Lowenfals... teaches you the art of feeding the soil which will take care of the plant....

the indoor/outdoor medical growers bible by Jorge Cervantes is my fav. i also like the latest book by Ed Rosenthal. both have good pics and are full of good knowledge written by men who have made cannabis their life.

one you do not want is the cannabis growers bible by Greg Green. i think he just copied pages straight out from the old overgrow forums and much of the info is terrible. i actually have the feeling the guy has never grown just hung out on overgrow and then copied enough to write a book much of which contradicts it's self within pages sometimes. and the one i had was black and white photos with a few pages in the middle of some lousy looking plants. save your money rather than buy this.

Are there any books that give detailed info on outdoor guerilla growing? Most books I've seen seem to cater to indoor.

Cervantes covers a little.

Who has a good How-To, on pruning and trimming MJ?

"Master Gardener's Medical Cannabis Secrets: Learn to Grow Marijuana Nor-Cal Style!" by Bodhi Moon

Ed Rosenfeld 's book for sure. Covers pretty much every aspect of growing inside or out. includes information on all the macro micro nutrients and symptoms of toxicity and deficiencies. Detailed information on lamps, different grow room setups, different styles of growing, pest control and so much more.

It's honestly a growers bible, so many great ideas and well researched information

I appreciate all the support for the RIU site, but (unlike a book), I can't take you all to bed and let you fall asleep with my nose in your crack!

no more favorite grow books to recommend?
