Genesis 9:3 Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
I picked Ed Rosenthal simply because I have a gazillion of his books (I couldn't begin to list all of them). I have been collecting them since 1993 starting with the original Closet Cultivator. I was surprised that more people picked Cervantes than Rosenthal.
my 1st book: "indoor/outdoor highest quality marijuana growers guide" by mel frank and ed rosenthal---and/or press san francisco---copyight 1974
high times said it is "probably the most knowledgeable book ever published on growing marijuana"
"rosenthal wants cannabis fanciers to stop seeing their dealers. not that he's a narc or anything-to the contrary. he just has a proposition that he thinks will help de-commercialize the grass market." rolling stone 6/22/72
what a visionary LOL
i remember the day and store i bought this book---what a gas---time to read it again
