I would suggest the book:

Marijuana Horticulture
The Indoor/Outdoor Medical Grower's Bible
Author: Jorge Cervantes

The other thing I would suggest is taking a class at the local club, in Alameda County you can gol to Patient ID Center or a higher end weekend class down the block at Oaksterdam University.

Welcome to PIDC's Home Page - Free or Cheap Classes
Oaksterdam University - Quality Training for the Cannabis Industry - Expensive but you learn the laws/pitfalls even in a two day forum
