I just got a deal writing a "How to Grow Cannabis for Dummies" style book (though it won't be named that). I don't plan on writing a Marijuana Grow Bible. I want to write a book for the new grower which walks them through the whole growing process and doesn't overload them with unnecessarily information. I want to make it so that anyone can read this short and straightforward book, and then be able to successfully produce their own dank buds. Growing marijuana can actually be easy when one has the right information, and I want to make that information available to the hobbyist or weekend grower who doesn't have a lot of time or money to devote to their grow.
My plan is to include a three sections. The first section would provide the reader with a basic explanation of the plant's life cycle and needs. The second section would discuss different types of lights and set-ups, and walk the reader through the process of choosing the right equipment for their budget and space requirements. In the last section, I'd like to include three or four step-by-step tutorials that actually walk the reader through the whole process of growing their marijuana from beginning to end.
I'm thinking of doing tutorials for these set-ups:
I need to get the above list down to 3-4 different methods because I'm going to have to grow all these set-ups simultaneously, and I don't know if I can maintain five separate setups at once. I should mention that up until now, I've only ever grown hydroponically, so I'm a little shy about including a soil grow in the book. I'd really need to research growing in soil before I felt comfortable writing about it, and to add to the pressure, I'd have to document my very first soil grow in a book! However, I know that soil is a very common way to grow marijuana and I feel like I should probably include a how-to in my book if I want the book to appeal to the widest audience...
So my question is, which tutorials/how-tos out of the above list do you think I should include? I completely open to any suggestions or new ideas. Also Rollitup, if there's anything else you'd like to see in a book, I'd love to hear about it!

- Basic Soil Grow
- Basic Hand-Watered Coco Coir/Perlite Grow
- Bubbleponic Grow with the Stealth Hydro
- Hempy Bucket or other Deep Water Culture Hydroponic Grow
- Micro-Grow (I'm thinking about growing in a computer case)
