Marijuana Cultivation Reconsidered: The Science and Techniques For Huge Indoor Yields

"Like a university course in a box--for less than $10! I have learned more from this one book than all the 'Bibles" put together!" -Bud Boulderite

NOTE: Marijuana Cultivation Reconsidered INCLUDES Small Spaces, Big Yields!
If you buy Marijuana Cultivation Reconsidered, you will be getting the entirety of Small Spaces, Big Yields--SSBY comprises Marijuana Cultivation Reconsidered's middle section.

Marijuana Cultivation Reconsidered is a vastly-expanded volume (up from 77 pages to over 300 pages), adding two new sections and an extensive glossary and six appendices filled with useful information.

Marijuana Cultivation Reconsidered is a foundation-up re-examination of the existing science on cannabis cultivation. This volume looks in depth at plant physiology as it pertains to cannabis cultivation and delves deep into special topics that help the cultivator understand how to achieve optimal yields. The results of Spear's research will surprise you!

Section 1 reviews basic plant physiology in an information-dense and easy-to-read style. Topics covered are relevant to the successful cultivation of top-quality marijuana. With a grasp of these fundamentals, the reader will be ready to tackle the projects laid out in Section 2.

Section 2 lays out the ABC’s of setting up your grow room. Right. The first time. Section 2 IS the best-selling title, Small Spaces, Big Yields (also revised, updated and expanded). It offers explicit DIY instructions for building your own geo (soil), hydro and hybrid growing systems and offers an overview of techniques so you can devise your own. Section 2 is derived from the author’s real-world experience and answers common setup questions in detail.

Section 3 is for the curious. Ready for deep-exploration of special topics in cannabis? Did you know that concentration of COâ‚‚ for cannabis has been studied only one time? Are you curious how scientists measure light as it is used by plants? This section is for you! Section 3 is loaded with research references and tons of detailed information for the truly involved grower.

Includes over 90 images/illustrations, almost 200 works cited, an all-new hybrid soil/hydro technique with instructions for how to build your own system, the famous two-bucket deep water culture system, a thorough guide to avoiding and getting out of tough spots, and much, much more!
