Reddit mentions of Marijuana Grower's Handbook: Your Complete Guide for Medical and Personal Marijuana Cultivation

My advice to you is to get yourself a good book, like this one :https://www.amazon.com/Marijuana-Growers-Handbook-Complete-Cultivation/dp/0932551467/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=

Read it cover to cover - it'll give you a well rounded education if you pay attention. Everything else can be learned on the job

This is what you need to buy to save your plants.

this is part 1, they're all on youtube.
I highly recommend Ed Rosenthal's Marijuana Grower's Handbook

My personal method is aimed towards hydroponic growing if this is what you're doing, you can shoot me a message. Germinating before soil is explained in the video series.

I strongly recommend reading these two books:

• The Cannabis Grow Bible - Green (if you're only going to read one book, read this one. It's the best book on growing by a wide margin.)
  http://www.amazon.com/Cannabis-Grow-Bible-Recreational-ebook/dp/B004P1JEBQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1368393804&sr=8-2&keywords=growers+bible
  
• Marijuana Grower's Handbook - Rosenthal
  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0932551467/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
  There are another couple books that I've read which have good bits of information but are by no means necessary to read. They are definitely lower quality than the two mentioned above:
  
  
• Marijuana Horticulture - Cervantes
  http://www.amazon.com/Marijuana-Horticulture-Outdoor-Medical-ebook/dp/B004WKUY2S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368393921&sr=8-1&keywords=grower%27s+bible
  
• Master Gardener's Medical Cannabis Secrets - Moon

Watch all three parts. Also get his book, http://www.amazon.com/Marijuana-Horticulture-Outdoor-Medical-Growers/dp/187882323X/ref=sr_1_1/180-5748622-0703640?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1372344635&sr=1-1

I think Jorge is the easiest to learn from. Apparently he isnt a grower but works closely with growers so he has pretty good advice.

If you want to take it up a notch you should also get Ed Rosenthals book http://www.amazon.com/Marijuana-Growers-Handbook-Complete-Cultivation/dp/0932551467/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1372344700&sr=1-1&keywords=ed+rosenthal

With these videos and books you should be able to really get a understanding of the reality of MMJ horticulture.

Ed Rosenthal is the Eisnstein of Pot. That book will teach you everything about the plant from a cellular level and up.

also the book by SeeMoreBuds is less detailed but full of pictures if you prefer that instead. Still a great buy.

I live with my parents and in a really good climate, so I have to grow outdoors. I grow 4 plants per year, I plant in April and harvest in September. Growing is NOT EASY, growing 4 plants is about a $500 investment (seeds, dirt, nutrients, pesticide, all organic) and they're very finicky and you have to be diligent with watering, nutrients, pesticides, etc. But you can get around 8 ounces out of a 5 foot tall plant. I smoke a gram a day so I smoke 12 ounces a year, but my mother also eats a little canna-brownie before bed, so she consumes some of my harvest as well. /r/microgrowery is a great reference, and I can't recommend this book: Ed Rosenthal's Marijuana Growers Handbook enough. It is a labor of love and it took Mom and I 9 days to trim 4 plants. And it's stressful because it's worth so much money to my family. I'm on disability and a fixed income and can't afford to buy it.

I have this book and it’s full of good info.

I started by reading these two books first. It gives you a nice solid foundation and makes reading information on the internet a lot easier.

Ed Rosenthal - Marijuana Grower's Handbook: Your Complete Guide for Medical and Personal Marijuana Cultivation

Jorge Cervantes - Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible

Ed Rosenthal has a book that would probably answer most of your questions. As for seeds, it's probably your best bet to try and find them through people.

Get rid of the tinfoil - You can use mylar if you want, but a good coat of flat white paint works fine.

With such limited vertical space, work on training your plants - tie them down so they grow sideways as opposed to straight up. Top your plants after the 4th/5th node to help control growth. How long you veg them depends on how much vertical space you have in flowering. Most plants will at least double their size in 12/12, plan accordingly.

What soilless medium are you using? What lighting are you going to use for flowering?

Sites like icmag.com are good resources, but there is a lot of bad information on the internet and sometimes its hard to find a trustworthy source. I suggest you pick up a good book:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0932551467/ref=oss_product

http://www.amazon.com/Marijuana-Horticulture-Outdoor-Medical-Growers/dp/187882323X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1279560818&sr=1-1-spell

Books are still the best way to learn everything you need to for a successful harvest.

Great book. But a lot of those look like grow books. I see Jorge Cervante's book in that pile, one of my favorites. As well as Ed Rosenthal's growers handbook in the upper right corner

I remembered I have one of the most popular growing books as an eBook. Here is a link to download Ed Rosenthal's Marijuana Grower's Handbook. If you feel conflicted about pirating books you can buy it from Amazon also. The other really popular growing book, Jorge Cervantes Marijuana Horticulture, can be found here.

IMO this book is awesome, helped me out alot. http://www.amazon.com/Marijuana-Growers-Handbook-Complete-Cultivation/dp/0932551467/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1341296385&sr=8-1&keywords=ed+rosenthal

I will try to remember and bring this book: http://www.amazon.com/books/dp/0932551467 if anyone would like to flip through it and learn something. Most everything in this book can be found on the internet but it might ignite some interesting conversation.


Also I was over on /r/seaents and I came across this: http://nwcannabismarket.com/ <---that is a beautiful thing.

They teach Ed Rosenthal apparently at Oaksterdam University in Cali.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0932551467/ref=dbs_a_w_dp_0932551467

I found all the popular grow books on Library Genesis too.

I would highly recommend getting this book. There are a lot of good websites, too, but I've personally learned more from that book than from any of the websites.

There are some good books to get going - this is one of the easiest and best written:

Marijuana Grower's Handbook: Your Complete Guide for Medical and Personal Marijuana Cultivation

If you end up with basic questions as you go through the process feel free to ask. I have been growing at home for about three years now and although I am not an expert I have made a lot of mistakes and learned by them. My grows have been great since getting this book, my copy is actually signed!! http://www.amazon.com/Marijuana-Growers-Handbook-Complete-Cultivation/dp/0932551467/ref=sr_1_2?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1343836313&sr=1-2&keywords=growing+marijuana

I met Ed at HempCon in San jose a few years ago.

Yup.

http://www.amazon.ca/Marijuana-Growers-Handbook-Complete-Cultivation/dp/0932551467/ref=pd_bxgy_14_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=1PP8E07NK04R5FWTJFHT

A bale of cocogro or cocotek, some CannaCoco A&B or BioVega+BioFlores for organic , some Garden Lime from Lowes, a tent, an led, a light timer, a carbon filter and fan, and a guide book.


Ask Ed's coco guide works well for basics


Micks Coco guide is also good using just MaxiBloom

Go with the classic. Ed Rosenthal's Marijuana Grower's Handbook. It'll set you up right with all the knowledge, solid foundations, and the right attitude.
