In-Depth Information
In TLO growing, the soil mix we use is literally alive, no joke. Much like the delicate balance of life on
Earth in, say, the African plains, there is a delicate dynamic in your container's soil mix. There are the big
guys who throw their weight around (the lions and the zebras of your soil) and the little guys who aren't as
obvious but are just as important (like those all-important bees). TLO shows you how to bring in and har-
ness all of these microbeasties to work for you. I've never had higher quality cannabis than the stuff you get
from a TLO grow, and I am a 40-year veteran smoker, so, as you can imagine, I've smoked some weed in
my time. In addition, all the most impressive genetic traits of different cannabis strains really stand out in
TLO, and the aromas, flavors, high-type and colors for which we choose any particular plant are all made
that little more amazing. It is the best of the best for smoking, especially for the medical and connoisseur
communities.
In TLO growing we use our own organic teas in place of synthetic nutrients
What TLO doesn't include is synthetically chelated nutrients, most pesticides, and many fungicides. It
doesnotincludeheavychelationofnutrientswiththeuseofascorbic,fulvic,andhumicacidsatall.Instead,
organic teas are “brewed” and in this process, the amount of microbial life increases dramatically. Such teas
are applied to the plants at least once a month. I use them about twice as often, myself. This helps to bring
in life that, if we were growing outdoors, would already be in the soil, but because we're growing indoors,
we have to provide for the plant. Once the tea is applied, all the life goes to work processing organic matter
and breaking down mineral elements in the container soil mix.
REV'S TIP
Chelating nutrients is a pretty straightforward process, and to spare you a lot of
techno-babble, it basically means you can encase nutrients within the chelating elements, which are
then easily (or rather, forcefully) absorbed by the roots of plants, along with any nutrients trapped
within. Chelating goes way beyond our purposes here in this topic, but suffice it to say that we want
