In-Depth Information
By now, you should have a good basic set up in your grow room, and understand what TLO growing is all
about. All that's left now is to get your final equipment and start your first TLO grow!
Container Choices and Size Considerations
This is an interesting part of TLO growing, and one that seems to confuse people a lot. I will try to make
this as basic as possible, because once you get this, you will agree that it's very simple. For your first TLO
grow, you can start off with 1 foot of growth per 1 gallon of container space. As your skills with TLO
develop, your container sizes will be determined by how you like to build your soil mix.
REV'S TIP
Outdoors, in full sunshine, avoid using black or dark colored containers be-
cause they will absorb too much heat and become harmful to the soil microbial life and the roots,
which will make the plant suffer. You can even paint black containers white with latex paint (on the
outside only) about a week before you put any plants in them.
Right now, I have a pretty small personal garden. I flower under 400 watt lamps. Vegetative growth
goes on under my LED 205 watt lamps, and I also sprout under these lamps as well. I start out sprouting/
germinating in those little flats made for sprouting your veggies and flowers or whatnot in. Once sprouted
I usually move the seedlings into 3-inch square pots or “keg party cups” (16 oz plastic cups) for about 2
or 3 weeks, then up to 1-gallon pots for about 30 days. I then transplant into either 2- or 2.5-gallon pots to
flower. My finished plants are usually about 2-2.5 feet tall, and yield 2 or 3 oz of prime TLO bud each.
These figures of course will vary greatly with different genetics.
