Van Patten and pseudonym, Jorge Cervantes, in Dutch, English, French, Italian, Japanese, German, Russian, and Spanish. Self-publisher, Cervantes’ (Indoor) Marijuana Horticulture book was christened “the Grow Bible” in 2000 by indoor, greenhouse and outdoor growers. His knowledge and hands-on experience inspired millions of growers worldwide to apply simple, effective techniques to grow more and better cannabis. Countless growers opened their gardens, greenhouses and grow room doors to help Jorge share their know-how with you. Underground guerilla years (1983-2010) Cervantes wore a disguise to conceal his identity so that he could teach the world to grow. Operation Green Merchant (1989) set up by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) and local law enforcement sent more than half of Jorge’s friends to prison during the infamous “War on Drugs”.
