    The basics of growing Cannabis can be easily grasped by remembering that it is a plant. Growing Marijuana outdoors is just like growing any other plant outdoors. You just plant a seed in soil and let nature take its course. Plants are not particularly designed to develop indoors. However, due to Marijuana being an extremely controlled substance, and growing it is deemed illegal in most states, growing it indoors away from prying eyes is almost always necessary. Therefore, in order to successfully grow Marijuana, you must fool them into believing that they are growing in the great outdoors. This task of fooling the plants into thinking that they are growing outdoors takes a significant amount of time, knowledge and patience to pull off. This, however, is what this audiobook will teach you how to do. This audiobook will teach you all the things you need to know on how to grow Marijuana indoors. In addition, this audiobook will also teach you how to increase your yield and make the most out of your crops.

    The curious history of a tiny town that all but disappeared . . . Includes photos!   Founded by a famously scheming New Hampshire governor, Glastenbury struggled for over a century to break triple digits in population. A small charcoal-making industry briefly flourished after the Civil War, yet by 1920 Glastenbury counted fewer than twenty inhabitants.   The end came officially in 1937, when the state, following a spirited debate, formally disincorporated the town. Yet Glastenbury’s legacy lives on in Tyler Resch’s lively and amusing history. Follow Resch as he chronicles the community’s compelling, if always precarious, existence.   From mysterious murders and curious development schemes to the township’s eventual annexation by the US Forest Service, Glastenbury tells the ultimately redemptive tale of a community that lost its political status, only to gain a national forest.
