Don't trust any MJ book that has "bible" in the title, as all you need is here within RIU, just dive in and ask questions when you start sinking

I prefer the Ed Rosenthal 'Bible' to the Gregg Green 'Bible'.
You're old enough to remember the 70's????
I thought you were about 16 years old.
An adult would persist with the Jeckyll and Hide bullshit this long.

Honestly, most grow books have the exact same information. The idea of grow books in my opinion became obsolete with the innovation of the internet. In a book you'll get the growing experience and opinions of one man, here on the RIU forums and other forums across the internet you'll find the growing experiences and opinions of thousands of individuals in one place. If your slow to adopt the internet as your main source of information then just go on amazon.com and look up "marijuana growing book" and you'll get a whole list of books along with peoples reviews of them.

Not really. Books by different authors tend to look a things from differing angles and have differing focus on the hows.
Web sites contain exactly what you said - OPINION. Yes there is good info out there, but there are many conflicts too... Read some books to start!
My favorites are;
[h=1]Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/outdoor Medical Grower's Bible by Jorges Cervantes[/h]
[h=1]Marijuana Grower's Handbook: Your Complete Guide for Medical and Personal Marijuana Cultivation by Ed Rosenthal[/h]

Well I'm damn near 50, and I was wondering why I didn't come up with it first
....I kinda thought for an internet personality it was pretty creative, and positive or negative, it's getting attention ......................and also, I read everything I could but, it's trial and error and some good super soil for me..................

Hell I don't think you are even close. I've read post here I could have swore were written by preschoolers. Literally.
On topic though my wife bought me a copy of Jorge's grow bible for my birthday several years ago, but it has largely been unused. This site alone has given me more information than I will likely ever need to succeed. Plus a little comedy to boot! The age of free information via the internet has made guides more or less worthless in my eyes.
