Jorge Cervantes developed his life-long fascination with cannabis as a university student in Mexico. After graduation, he moved to California in the 1970s where he became a “guerilla grower” of “sin semilla” (Spanish for without seeds) marijuana, the “new” high-quality cannabis that Mexicans reserved for domestic consumption. In the early 1980s Cervantes started growing indoors with High Intensity Discharge lights to escape detection and control the environment, harvesting four crops the first year. A lack of credence and information about indoor cultivation led him to author Indoor Marijuana Horticulture in 1983. The book became an instant best-seller and successful indoor growers dubbed it the “Indoor Grower’s Bible.” Today growers simply call it “The Bible.”

Now 52, Cervantes is a world-renowned expert on indoor, outdoor and greenhouse cannabis cultivation. He puts more than thirty years of expert cannabis growing knowledge and hands-on experience at your fingertips with his books, articles, photographs and a new DVD. His expert advice has guided millions of growers worldwide to apply simple effective horticultural techniques to high-yield closet, basement, backyard and guerilla gardens.

In his monthly question and answer column, Jorge’s Rx, in High Times, the flagship of the magazine’s cultivation section, Cervantes solves grower’s problems with definitive clarity. He also pens a regular column in Soft Secrets. The magazines boast the biggest circulation in North America and Europe respectively. Cervantes still finds the time to contribute feature cultivation articles to High Times, Burst High (Japanese) and a dozen European cannabis magazines. Multilingual Cervantes also speaks at eight international cannabis fairs in Europe every year. With five books in print and more than a half million books sold, you can find his works in Dutch, English, French, German and Spanish. Soon books will be available in Italian, Japanese and Russian.

Cervantes moved back to Spain where he lives near the Mediterranean Sea. He continues photograph and write about cannabis as well as travel the world to research this fascinating medicinal plant.
