The Best Hydroponic Book Ever
This book was awesome.A friend in Holland told me about it.I use to be a photographer for High Times so i have seen a lot of stuff.This book has shown me method that aren't really known by many in that biz. i recomend it to any one who wants to be good at this.

Awesome
This book is very lage and in-depth.There are methods in it I have never seen any where else. I think it's one of the best books out there. I would like to meet the person who wrote it.may be it is a Hot chick. BONG.

I have read every book on the subject
I found the book has everthing I could ever need to know.It is very well written. I think is was a great buy. The only thing i didn't like is that i bought it for 49.94 when I could have got it here for 22 dollars... Buy it but do not pay 49.95...I also so it cheaper on kindle.

Completewaste of money!
This book is not what it claims to be - a hydroponic marijuana growers guide.Instead at least 60% of the book deals with the legal status of medical marijuana in every state in the Union - I've always wanted to know the legal opinion on medicinal marijuana in Idaho, haven't you?In addition there is also lots of info on the evils of marijuana toxicity, addiction, etc.About 1/3 of the book does deal with hydroponic how-to, and does at least provide some information on the subject.Finally, the author also had the clever idea of omitting a table of contents, index or page numbers, effectively rendering the book useless as a quick reference source. ...

This technology allows your plants to grow with nutrient solutions, with its roots free or supported by means like peat moss, sawdust, or gravel. The result is high yield production with a growth rate that is 30 to 50 percent faster than a soil-based plant grown under the same conditions, according to the Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre.You don't have to be a professional horticulturalist to learn how to grow soil-free in your own home. For anyone who was ever turned off by traditional gardening because of inconvenience or messiness, hydroponic gardening offers an attractive and practical alternative. Your fruits, vegetables, flowers, and other foliage can flourish without their roots being buried unnecessarily in layers of restrictive, water-wasting soil.

Product Description
This book is a diary of some of my gardening exploits. It has a lot of images documenting my successes (or lack there of) in growing tomatoes and cucumbers.

The first section is about my Kitty Litter Roma Tomatoes. I used a kitty litter container as my pot. I show you how I did this.

The second section is a hydroponic wick style cucumber plant. It grew almost as large as the one I planted directly into the pot.

The final section is about trying to grow plants in the horrible clay ridden soil in my backyard.

If anything, Pick this one up for the images. They are beautiful as well as helpful. ... Read more
