About the Book

This book will focus on improving marijuana through the use of Indoor hydroponics. The techniques mentioned in this book are for the medicinal uses of cannabis and for those legally able to grow it. 

Indoor-Hydroponic gardening is a lot like building a house, you have all the necessary supplies to build the house: wood, nails, brick mortar and equipment.  You have your blue prints, but this does not make a house.  It makes a pile of rubbish.  You have to put the supplies together in the correct order with skilled labor in order to end up with a house. In a sense, this is what Indoor-Hydroponic gardening is like.  You must know how to properly utilize your supplies and equipment-this is what a guide like this is for! It enables you to finish with a house instead of a pile of rubbish.

If you are new to Hydroponics here is what wiki-pedia has to say-

“Hydroponics (from the Greek words hydro (water) and ponos (labour)) is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions instead of soil. Terrestrial plants may be grown with their roots in the mineral nutrient solution only or in an inert medium, such as perlite, gravel or mineral wool. A variety of techniques exist.

Plant physiology researchers discovered in the 19th century that plants absorb essential mineral nutrients as inorganic ions in water. In natural conditions, soil acts as a mineral nutrient reservoir but the soil itself is not essential to plant growth. When the mineral nutrients in the soil dissolve in water, plant roots are able to absorb them. When the required mineral nutrients are introduced into a plant’s water supply artificially, soil is no longer required for the plant to thrive. Almost any terrestrial plant will grow with hydroponics, but some will do better than others. It is also very easy to do; the activity is often undertaken by very young children with such plants as watercress. Hydroponics is also a standard technique in biology research and teaching and a popular hobby.

This book was written to discourage anyone from growing marijuana in the United Stated illegally. There are only three reasons someone would grow marijuana in the United States of America: One they are legaly able to do so;two, they are idiots; or three, they are attending special Ed classes. 

 I knew Chris’s medical marijuana work long before I knew the man.  Many years before our first meeting I read a string of his underground pamphlets. How he got my address I will never know, nor will he tell me. Although they were helpful they seemed to be lacking, so I was not surprised when he sent me a copy of this manuscript, asking if I could contribute to the book.  Now, after I read the manuscript, every time I need any advice about cultivating, I open my copy of The Hydroponic Bible.  It has been a godsend to me and my crops.  This book, to the cultivator, is the equivalent of the periodic table to the chemist.  The fist time I read his book I remember thinking, how could he give away so many trade secrets?  Every trick he has discovered he has documented and shared in this book. Why is he helping researchers produce better marijuana?  And, why is he giving away the best trade secrets?  Then it occurred to me; he just wants to help.  The most valuable aspect of this book, to me, is how he accounts for every aspect of Indoor-Hydroponic gardening.  Showing you the struggles many researchers before you have endured. It is a compendium of information that rivals any cultivation book on the market.  I urge all legitimate growers, no matter how much experience they may have in the cultivation field, to take some time to read this book.  It has become a permanent part of my gardening library.
