well as chlorine there is a new compound called chloramine and it doesn't just bubble out, so you NEED
to filter this out with activated carbon filtering. Chlorinated water just has no place in TLO growing.
Hydrated Lime
I would never recommend using this in TLO container growing because it kills anything living it comes
into contact with on a microbial level, until it fully decomposes/cooks. It can also easily take your soil mix

Overwatering
This is a big deal, my green growing brethren. Overwatering probably kills more plants than anything else
when it comes to indoor container gardening. Houseplants too, man; people kill a ton of houseplants this
way, believe it or not. Too much water in a growing container is always a bad idea—now drill that into
your head and always err on the side of caution. This is especially important within the first couple of

A day before your plants will wilt from need of watering, the lowest couple sets of leaves will droop a
bit for a whole day. Now you for sure don't want to take a plant into full wilt any time during flowering,
and especially after the halfway point. This could easily cause many plants to express hermaphrodites and
end up making seeds that will also likely grow hermaphrodites. Just take a little time to learn to look for
