This shows some salty cannabis issues in TLO containers
REV'S TIP
The synthetic salts used to chelate nutrients in synthetic fertilizers are espe-
cially deadly, even in very small amounts, in a TLO container, due to the fact they hyper-dehydrate
the microlife as the soil mix starts to dry out. Nothing is more anti-TLO than killing off your mi-
crobeasties! Don't use synthetic crap, ever, on your TLO containers.
Coconut coir fiber is another way unwanted levels of bad salts can come into your TLO container gar-
dens, and this one will really put a damper on your yields and growth rates too. Sea salts and high potassi-
um salts are notorious in coir coconut fiber. Botanicare has an already expanded version of coconut fiber
they call “Cocogro” that is well rinsed and works great for TLO container gardens; actually this is what I

to flush it through well, and several times. Alternately you can use good, bagged compost that is really
