CONTAINER BREAKDOWN: 2-3 GALLON SIZE
Here is a side view of a typical flowering container size I use for flowering under a 400 watt
Eye Blue metal halide HID lamp. I am a bit disabled so the ability of TLO style to flower in
these sized containers is a big help to me.
Bark Mulch
This is just shredded bark mulch you can get at any nursery and many other places as well.
Just make sure it is not painted or treated with anything, and if it is already composted that is
always a bonus too.
Blood Meal 1-2 Teaspoons
I sprinkle this down on top just before adding the bark mulch layer over it. Avoid getting

edges of the container. I use the custom TLO high nitrogen blend here, but bat/bird guanos
that have high nitrogen work well also.
Top Layer
I like to add extra earthworm castings to the top couple inches of 2.1 soil mix at a ratio of
2 parts soil mix to 1 part extra castings. This really gets things going well in the container,
regarding the microlife equalizing.
