The 4th and 5th edition are companions to the 4th and 5th edition of the seminal work (book) "Plant Physiology" by Lincoln Taiz and Eduardo Zeiger. I highly suggest people purchase the 5th edition of the book (released June 15, 2010) for even more info!
One can teach themselves most topics of plant physiology using the book and online companion. What is really great about the online companion is it has various sections, such as (from the 5th edition):
* Topics
* Essays
* Study Questions
* Readings
The "study questions" section is great! It will allow you to test yourself with the same level of info you would get in many plant physiology classes at a University.
Of the two editions, the 5th should be your go-to resource, but I will post both for reference.
Here is the 5th edition of the book: http://www.sinauer.com/detail.php?id=8667
Here is the online companion to the 5th edition: http://5e.plantphys.net/
Here is the online companion to the 4th edition: http://4e.plantphys.net/
Happy reading!!!My contributions to this website in no way imply support for any political or cultural views promoted here.

There is a great movement to put real science in the hands of amateurs, those without advanced degrees, but not any less of real scientists. This topic is pretty vast, so I will post a good starting resource.
Ex.:
I do not (yet) have an advanced degree, but that doesn't mean I am any less of a scientist than those with advanced degrees (ex. Doc's, PhD's, etc). A degree alone does not a scientist make. Drive, intelligence and money (for resources) can make a scientist out of anyone without a degree
Look into "DIY-BIO" if you are interested in that topic:
* "DIYbio: An Institution for the Amateur Biologist": http://diybio.org/
The difference between a "professional" and "amateur" biologist is a degree and fancy title, that's it; as long as the amateur has money for resources and equipment...My contributions to this website in no way imply support for any political or cultural views promoted here.

taiz and zeiger is an excellent reference. finding a way to access google scholar articles (like through a university library or something like that) is a must for anyone who wants to better understand the variety of plant sciences that will make you a more informed and better grower.What I produce is better than gold, pure gold. What I yield is better than fine silver.

I ran across this while doing some research on germinating seeds and thought others might find it useful.

Figured I might as well add my own online resources list here, I know some of them have already been shared in this thread.

It is also precisely what the scientific method tries to avoid. It does so by requiring that scientists not just test their hypotheses, but try to prove them false." - Gary Taubes
