The LED Grow Book: Second Edition has been expanded to address lighting and grow management for both commercial and hobby indoor growers. It's full of insights rooted in Christopher Sloper's decade+ as an indoor gardening retailer and consultant, plus his experience growing indoors with virtually every garden lighting technology on the market. Sloper's rich insights on indoor gardening make The LED Grow Book, Second Edition a must-read for anyone cultivating crops indoors, regardless of their choice of garden lighting technology. The LED Grow Book: Second Edition begins with a deep dive into LED grow lights and why they matter. Topics include plant lighting terms, why we would want to use LEDs to grow plants, and how plants interact with various wavelengths of light. The discussion then turns to LED grow lights themselves: what they're made of, what wavelengths they emit, and what to look for in grow light fixtures and the companies that manufacture them. The second half of The LED Grow Book: Second Edition provides a primer on good indoor gardening practice, including how LED grow lights affect growing indoors. Sloper provides advice on how to design and build an indoor grow space, what growing system to use, how and what to feed plants, and how to manage pests. The book concludes with some final thoughts on LED grow lights and good gardening practice.

More than 200 pages and 150 illustrations (photographs, drawings and diagrams) This book addresses in a practical and illustrated manner, all the aspects necessary to cultivate medical and recreational marijuana indoors using soil, in the most sustainable way possible and using LED lights. This is a practical book written to allow anyone to grow indoors according to their needs, always trying to be more energy efficient and more responsible to the environment. We cover a wide range of topics: - Adequate choice of LED lights and systems of extraction and intraction. - Step-by-step assembly of the grow tent. - Recommendations and practical examples during all stages of growing. - Organic and biological treatment of pests and deficiencies. - Use of electronic devices to monitor the conditions of our grow tent and introduce mechanisms of alert and safety against fires and unauthorized accesses. - Designs to be printed in 3D, with which we will be able to manufacture our own parts, adapters, holders and pots. We have designed a special transplant pot that we make available to all our readers, which minimizes the stress associated with transplants, contributing to a healthier and stronger crop. This book can be used as a reference manual in the case that we are growing with another type of lighting. In addition, through our website weedomancer.com/en, we will offer to all our readers a direct channel of communication with the authors of the book, the photographs in high quality, the download of the necessary files for 3D printing of everything we need to cultivate, as well as updates, specific manuals and monitoring templates, accessible from the mobile to keep a daily tracking of each one of our crops.

Ten years of research uncover the secret source of growth and profit … Those who center their business on improving people’s lives have a growth rate triple that of competitors and outperform the market by a huge margin. They dominate their categories, create new categories and maximize profit in the long term. Pulling from a unique ten year growth study involving 50,000 brands, Jim Stengel shows how the world's 50 best businesses—as diverse as Method, Red Bull, Lindt, Petrobras, Samsung, Discovery Communications, Visa, Zappos, and Innocent—have a cause and effect relationship between financial performance and their ability to connect with fundamental human emotions, hopes, values and greater purposes. In fact, over the 2000s an investment in these companies—“The Stengel 50”—would have been 400 percent more profitable than an investment in the S&P 500. Grow is based on unprecedented empirical research, inspired (when Stengel was Global Marketing Officer of Procter & Gamble) by a study of companies growing faster than P&G. After leaving P&G in 2008, Stengel designed a new study, in collaboration with global research firm Millward Brown Optimor. This study tracked the connection over a ten year period between financial performance and customer engagement, loyalty and advocacy. Then, in a further investigation of what goes on in the “black box” of the consumer’s mind, Stengel and his team tapped into neuroscience research to look at customer engagement and measure subconscious attitudes to determine whether the top businesses in the Stengel Study were more associated with higher ideals than were others. Grow thus deftly blends timeless truths about human behavior and values into an action framework – how you discover, build, communicate, deliver and evaluate your ideal. Through colorful stories drawn from his fascinating personal experiences and “deep dives” that bring out the true reasons for such successes as the Pampers, HP, Discovery Channel, Jack Daniels and Zappos, Grow unlocks the code for twenty-first century business success.
