That book is ridiculously expensive especially considering you can get all that info here ... for free

Yeah true... I have no idea if it is any good or not, I just thought it was interesting that someone bothered to write a book with a (reportedly) generous coverage of hydroponics. Then again, I think I paid like $180 for my Calculus textbook when I took calculus
Might have been a little less I do not remember but it was pretty high. One of my freshman Physics texts was around that price too. (By the time I was a Junior in college, I discovered that you could order the book from overseas and save a ton of money. I think my quantum mechanics textbook was about $120 new- I paid around $40 for it!)[Edit]
HOLY CRAP!!! I just looked it up! The MSRP on that calculus textbook is currently$224! Amazon has it for $156! I dont remember for sure what I paid but geez! That guy sells like several million copies of that book annually too (I forget the exact number- but he must be rich)!
That's funny...the seller says the same thing, but with a twang...kind of.

Ha! Very nice!
CoralReefs,
That must be the new calculus and the new physics. As an undergraduate in the 1960s, Calculus was $22. The most expensive book I ever purchased as an undergrad was a 1200+ page 2-semester physics book, for and even $30. Took my breath away at the time.
Given that authors of college textbooks make hardly any money from them, and the fact that production costs (if you forgo unneeded full-color illustrations) run about $25 per volume for today's textbooks, somebody is raping and pillaging the wallets of students.

Do you remember the authors? I might have one or both of them. Before I actually started working on my B.S. I collected Math and Physics books. I particularly liked older ones. I have a few geometry texts that are just shy of 100 years old.
The physics text is Halliday and Resnick. The calculus text was lost (along with 65 pounds of other books) by the USPS in 1976.

Well, Chicken, I can say with confidence that you'd make a hell of a good engineer.

To revive a very old thread. I'm in Fl and have a couple tobacco plants (first time) referenced in my grow blog on this site. I'm growing in 7 gallon bags outside, in coir, with hydro nutes. Probably dont need hydro nutes, but I dont feel like messing with dry water soluble yet. I've done tomatoes before and they grew twice as fast. I can also reuse the coir. The benefit is very little nutrient goes into the ground, which is a problem in FL. Not sure about a second harvesting as I heard the tobacco quality isnt so good, but I will give it a go.
