AWESOME TLO TWEAKS THAT GO THE
EXTRA MILE
Here are some of the higher end tweaks I use, and as you get more comfy with TLO you
will have your own favorite tweaks as well. Just remember not to do a whole bunch of
new stuff all at once because if something goes south you will have too many variables
to figure it out.
• Get a little earthworm farm, or make one, and start recycling your soil, roots, etc.
• Use high-grade organic molasses for teas during flowering stages.
• Use a pure water source like reverse osmosis, rain or distilled.
• Always add a little calcium and magnesium to your pure water—I recommend CaMg+
liquid by General Organics at 10 drops per gallon of pure water.
• Use dry soluble kelp/seaweed products rather than liquid because they will stay good
forever.
• If you use an aero or bubble cloner, after your cuttings have been in it for about 4 days,
add about 10 drops of CaMg+ by General Organics and the roots will BOOM!
• Use a high end and fresh source for any microbial life (like Myco fungi) in a bottle.
Great White is awesome in my experience.
• Always use a shredded bark mulch layer on top of all your containers; this has a
million benefits and no downsides. Avoid cedar and walnut products.
• Big Bloom by Fox Farm is great stuff, just like a concentrated tea full of highly
nutritional microbeasty food.
• If you use coconut fiber, try the expanded Cocogro product by Botanicare. It’s
thoroughly rinsed for low, low salts; a very important thing.
• Try keeping your lights at about 2 feet above plant tops, as this makes for super happy
plants.
• LED lights are badass for sprouting and vegging, I love them and they run cool.
• Use 400 watt HID lights rather than 1000 watt due to several reasons of convenience.
• I would always recommend using Eye Blue Metal Halide Bulbs for flowering at the
time of writing, and I have been a huge fan of these bulbs for almost a decade.
