Ed Rosenthal's legacy handbook contains the foundational knowledge, tools, and methods to enable you to grow great marijuana—inside and out. 

All aspects of cultivation are covered, from the selection of varieties, setting up of the garden, through each stage of plant growth all the way to harvesting. Use efficient technology and save time, labor, and energy. Photographs throughout clarify instructions and show the stunning results possible by following Ed's growing advice.

This classic guide was groundbreaking when it was first released in 2010. For the very latest in technologies, tips, and techniques, including advances in LED lighting, garden design, genetics, and sustainability, the author recommends his new title: Cannabis Grower's Handbook, just released in October 2021.

"Ed Rosenthal holds the distinction of turning more people on to pot than Cheech and Chong." -- Tommy Chong

"Mr. Rosenthal is the pothead's answer to Ann Landers, Judge Judy, Martha Stewart and the Burpee Garden Wizard all in one." --NY Times January 2003

Ed Rosenthal is the world’s leading expert on the cultivation of marijuana. His books have sold well over a million copies and his most recent edition of “Marijuana Grower’s Handbook” has revolutionized the field. Ed is also on the faculty of Oaksterdam University, the leading trade school for the cannabis industry. His classes teach pupils how different techniques can be used to improve the yield and efficiency of their gardens.

Ed has always been driven by a desire to develop innovative, effective, and non-toxic methods of gardening. He was one of the original American writers to travel to Holland, bringing the knowledge and sophistication of European horticulture to the U.S. through his books and Ask Ed column. While his career has focused on marijuana cultivation, he is an avid gardener of edible plants and flowers as well. Ultimately, Ed believes that no matter the plant, a gardener should never be forced to resort to using potentially dangerous means in order to enjoy a bountiful harvest.

Beyond the garden, Ed views marijuana law as a crucial social issue and has been active in promoting and developing policies of civil regulation. In 2003 he was tried in Federal Court for cultivation in a trial where the jury was not allowed to hear that he was deputized by the City of Oakland to provide marijuana for patients. His trial shifted public opinion in favor of state medical marijuana laws.

His best-selling titles include; The Big Book of Buds series, Marijuana Garden Saver, Best of Ask Ed, and Marijuana Grower's Handbook, among others.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Grower's Handbook I've read anywhere online or in book form to date!!!
Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2015

I somehow missed it at the bottom cover of the book "Official Course Book Oaksterdam University"; and on the back cover according to the book Ed Rosenthal has been teaching for more than 30-years. I questioned going into buying this book if it was going to be a worthwhile book to read and learn from, but from other high reviews I decided to give it a go and see what the hype was really about. I just finished reading it from cover to cover, and I feel like I am walking away with a first year college degree.

First his style of writing is impressive, he teaches you like you don't know even the most basic things and so he starts you off with a nice rounded basic education of the subject and then expands on it again and again and by the time he is done with the topic you feel like you still understand what he's saying when he gets to the complex aspects and parts of it. I never once felt like I was lost reading his book, in fact I actually suddenly had to stop and apply what I just learned from him to other books information which left me feeling lost, so I could finally grasp other information I had. I went into reading this book with questions that I haven't been able to answer from other books and from things I've read and learned over the years, but that nobody else has ever really had an answer for, and yet before I finished this book I had those answers and I don't have any more questions.

It really has made me want to look into going to one of his classes or one of his seminars because he really brings it to the table for everyone to learn and understand and walk away really having a firm understanding of everything you really want and need to know and then some. I've read some of his other books and this book really holds up to being a 'Growers Handbook'... I wished I would have started here with this book and then browsed other authors because I wouldn't have wasted my money reading other's works when he really covered everything is a down to earth light that anyone and everyone can follow and read. Truly the best book on the subject I've read to date!

This book is minutely detailed and should probably be in the library of any serious commercial grower. For the backyard ganja enthusiast growing a couple of plants it contains more information than is needed. Useful, but kind of tedious and overly technical.

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2021

I really like Jorge Cervantes book on growing, but Ed Rosenthal's blew me away. The good information just keeps on coming, page after page, in this book. To be honest, I attempted to order this book from Ed's site, to patronize such a legend in the weed field, and to get his autograph in my book. But his site only accepts Paypal, which I refuse to use due to their invasive contract language, and his site doesn't offer any alternatives (that I could find) to use a debit card. So I bought it through a seller here. Not sure how it happened, but when I got the brand new copy, it was signed by none other than Himself!

This book has everything and I mean everything you need to know to grow some grade-A buds for advanced and beginner growers. The Godfather of Cannabis has true gems throughout the book that will have you growing the finest buds (or like me drooling to start growing the finest buds). The book is packed with info and tons of great pics showing what you are reading in action. I do not consider myself a reader what so ever and I breezed through the GB in a week. Such an easy to understand flow to this book. Couldn’t put it down and now have Ed’s Harvest, Beyond Bud, and Big Book of Buds On the way. Can’t wait to get to those and keep this GB right by my side until it’s game time! Cheers and special DANKS to Ed!
