1. Managing Small Plants
   Although growing small plants is more of a hobby, there are a lot of useful skills that you may use in managing a larger garden.

Essential Knowledge

• Books
  Every good grower should have some literature handy for quick reference. Try Marijuana Horticulture: The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible by Jorge Cervantes
  
  
• Marijuana Forums
  I can't tell you everything. A book can't even tell you everything. But, thousands of growers on a marijuana forum should be able to tell you anything. Join one. Try International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums. Sign up, read the forums while you wait for approval, ask questions only if you can't find the answer through a search.
  
  
• Local, State, Federal Laws
  Never do anything unless you thoroughly foresee, understand and accept the consequences of your actions. Growing marijuana is still a crime even in California. As long as you can be prosecuted for it by someone, it's a crime. It's best we all know and accept that reality. Sure, we can go into a whole debate on it and I'll agree, under the US Constitution, it is legal. But, guns and money run the United States, not the US Constitution. When you have DEA agents with assault rifles pointed at you and your family, you won't have a chance to debate anyone legally. And, your chances surviving court are slim to none. Know your rights and the law. If you know what they can and will do, you won't act recklessly. Find out what the laws are in your state.
