Typically, when someone posts an oft asked question, the response is usually, "Read! Read! Read!...Then read some more!" While that is sound advice, the thing is, there is rarely a suggestion of just what to read. With literally ten's of thousands of threads to go through, that is no easy task, especially for a first-timer. As an extension of Bongasaurus's "Micro Grow Stickies" thread, I came up with a few links that I hope will serve to entertain, enlighten, and educate both the beginner as well as the master gardener. This is not intended as a "be all, end all" to growing weed. It is intended to serve as a starting point, no matter your experience level. I will be updating and adding links to this list, from time to time, and most will have a Micro Grow and/or beginner bent, but not exclusively so.
Please feel free to post any links that you think may make an interesting read or is a superior thread to what is listed. If I include it in the first page of the thread, I will gladly give you credit for bringing it to our attention. But, please know that I am on dialup and I don't download video's because of the time it takes, so an inclusion of a video link on the first page may not happen.
Finally, also note that I am only putting up the link and not the content. If anyone has difficulty with a link's content please contact the owner of that particular page. By the same token, if there is something that you found particularly useful (especially here at ICMag) then I encourage you to let the Original Poster know. OP's like knowing something they brought to the table still has merit.

A free top-down WWII based IGOUGO game that was originally designed for a DOS platform but has since been reworked to play on Windows 9X (I am running it on XP with np). It comes with dozens of scenarios and several campaigns or you can download dozens of user designed ones from sites dedicated to the game. If you like chess, you're going to LOVE this one. To download this huge 475(+/-)MB file, I suggest a download manager (http://www.download.com/2000-2001_4-0.html).

Early in the 19th century Alexis de Tocqueville came to America for a two year study of it's prison system. He stayed for over ten and traveled extensively throughout the new country. Upon his return to France he wrote and published an insightful critique of American culture. A lengthy read (889 pg), it is a good historical account of early America in the 1810's/1820's, as well as still having some merit and credence to American life today. For a study of America and Americans:

A free top-down WWII based IGOUGO game that was originally designed for a DOS platform but has since been reworked to play on Windows 9X (I am running it on XP with np). It comes with dozens of scenarios and several campaigns or you can download dozens of user designed ones from sites dedicated to the game. If you like chess, you're going to LOVE this one. To download this huge 475(+/-)MB file, I suggest a download manager (http://www.download.com/2000-2001_4-0.html).
