Let’s see those old grow guides and collectibles!

Hemp Mania
Cannabis Growers Guide
Ted Suluepe,1997. A blank handbook meant as a personal journal. The 3 dimensional wood covers are hand painted. I picked these up years ago, they seem to be pretty rare.

I love that series of books, unless I’m mistaken the strain on the cover is called Caramella. Very cool, thanks for sharing Bud. :sunglasses::pray:

caramella is in there but i cant find a lable for the cover photo to confirm. some of my old grow guides turned keepsake is the entire massive grow manual and correspondence with the phototron guy from the mid 90s i think. that thing never produced but its a piece of history.

how to grow the finest marijuana indoors
Murphy Stevens, Sun Magic Publishing Co.,1979, 1st printing, fine+.
I love the cover of this one, the girl really adds scale to how big these indoor plants are…crazy.
I believe this one completes my master set of Murphy Stevens first printings.

I’ve got almost every piece of papyrus that came with might Ptron as well. When my state went semi legal, I hauled my Ptron out and plugged it in. It still worked. I decided to grow again and read some of Mr DeMarcos writings for the first time. Like the use of sterilized sphagnum moss mixed with MILLED sphagnum moss and micorrizae for the reservoir medium. Even my old Feed a Tron still works. Anyway, it’s great to know someone else gave it a shot only to find it’s almost impossible to prune a plant as he suggests or generate the yields he claimed. Not sayin it can’t be done, but I don’t have a PHD in cannabis cultivation. I rehabbed the panels reflective tinting and use a single 60 watt led grow bulb for cuttings or small clones. It’s got its limits.

I love the Phototrons, I got one in like 93… my mom found it in my closet, she was terrified… thought it might be a bomb. Toss up some pics, it would make a great addition to the thread :pray:

It’s amazing how far things have come since then glad to hear you recycled it. ive seen a guy on here @PhilCuisine who does some good things with I believe a modified version of the ptron.

I have “Marijuana Botany” by Robert Clarke it’s a new print but old publication. I also have a phototron 3000. Ignore the 150w panel in the top. Lol little bit overkill.

That’s a tough question, there are 40 copies of the reprints on eBay right now ranging from $60- $420, so roughly $200 each on the reprints, the first printing is probably more like $500-$1000 in that condition imo.
