The Cannabis Grow Bible: The Definitive Guide to Growing Marijuana for Recreational and Medical Use (3rd Edition) by Greg Green (Green Candy Press 2017) (635.0) (3430).

This is the third edition of a fine cannabis grower's manual. It contains 672 pages of gardening innovation and wisdom. This edition has been greatly expanded with an increased emphasis on indoor farming. The sections on indoor lighting and hydroponics are worth the (steep) price of the volume.

My rating: 8.5/10, finished 3/19/20 (3430). I purchased a brand new PB volume at a local book store for $40.00 on 3/12/20. PPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP

It was very informative when it came to growing outdoors as well as understanding a lot about the plant itself. It touches on just about everything you would want to know about growing buds and starting your own garden. This book also teaches you about creating your own strains so its good for people who already know how to grow and are looking to start breeding plants themselves.

Congrats to Maryland for finally legalizing cannabis plant growing! Got this book as prep.

It’s a decent book, but it’s got a real problem of being a bunch of pretty pictures and not a whole lot of text. Gorgeous pages though. I use this book as a jumping-off point to find more information on the internet.

(This about the 2nd edition.)

"The Cannabis Grow Bible" is a comprehensive, nicely illustrated reference manual for cannabis growing. However, the 2001 edition is simply outdated and does not contain modern topics like LED lights or autoflower plants. And honestly, if you are completely new to the topic, internet articles and Youtube videos will give you more concise hands-on advice.

Was bought as a gift. I was told it is an end all last word on the subject that no person interested in this subject should be without. Considering how tatters the book is from excessive reading I must believe that assertion.

Good Beginner Guide

This book contains most of what someone with basic gardening knowledge would need to be successful home growing. More information on breeding than necessary.

I was always curious :)

Good source of info. Skimmed through it. I am always fascinated by how simple things like growing a plant has so many subtleties that are missed by an untrained eye.
