I just got a deal writing a "How to Grow Cannabis for Dummies" style book (though it won't be named that) which is aimed at people who would like to get started growing indoors. I tried posting this in the Indoor Growing Forum but didn't get a good response. I was hoping I might get a better response from the beginner's growing forum since my book is aimed at people who are completely new or just getting started with growing. I know when I first got started it seemed so hard to find a good resource that shows you how to grow from beginning to end, without all the extra information. I want to write a book with those people in mind, which holds your hand through the whole process of your first couple of grows, until you're ready for the more advanced stuff.
I don't plan on writing a Marijuana Grow Bible. 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 three sections in my book. 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 sound the most interesting to you? I am completely open to any suggestions or new ideas. If there's any other topics that you'd like to see in a book, I'd love to hear about it!
As a side note, I want to keep my book as cheap as possible, and maybe offer a super cheap PDF version that you can download for people who don't want to have to buy an actual book. Is there any particular format that you think would be really great?

I'm thinking of doing tutorials for these set-ups:
- Basic Soil Grow
- Basic Hand-Watered Coco Coir/Perlite Grow
- Bubbleponic Grow with the Stealth Hydro
- Hempy Bucket or a Deep Water Culture Hydroponic Grow
- Micro-Grow (I'm thinking about growing in a computer case)
