The most important thing to know when reading these books(I have 4 myself) is that there is no single right way to grow, cure, consume MJ. A lot of times these guys will tell you "this is the way you have to do this", or"this is the best method" and that most often isn't true as you will see them say something like that in one chapter of the book then contradict themselves later in another chapter.
I take the approach with any information from the most "experienced" to the least experienced growers, that I will store it in memory and weigh it out as I see it in action. Some of the most advanced growers can have a brain fart and forget some logical trick for avoiding a problem, while a total noob with a clear, unbiased point of view can see an obvious answer. That is why I never discount (or take as proven)anything someone says until it can be tested more scientifically.
I have come across breakthroughs in my own stuff that I thought would be profound until someone else pointed out that it happened because I had left it unplugged :doh:
You will find by taking all of the available info and coming to an average of methods that what works for you the best will be some variant of the average that you have tweaked to fit your unique situation
