I have read the cannabis grow bible by Greg Green. I gained a lot of insight from it. If you don't like reading, grab some DVDs. Jorge Cervantes has a great video series.

Mr Greens I Grow Chronic Video is informative. However, some of the information is questionable.

You need to understand the environmental conditions. There are many things to learn if you want to produce quality herb. I feel it is much easier to learn from videos and books if you are a n00b. This will cover all the basics, lights, air circulation, genetics, nutrients, grow room setups, all sorts of stuff.

BTW, LED lights is a very hot topic.
