True Living Organics - The Ultimate Guide to Growing All-Natural Marijuana Indoors (2012)

Humic shale ore makes nutrients very available to your plants
Organic acids are all well and good, but liquid nutrient products that have high amounts of these
acids should be used with great care, and I recommend avoiding them in TLO growing, especially the
products that are straight humic, and/or fulvic acid. True Living Organics lets life do what it does
best, not what humans think it should do. Force-feeding is not the way to the highest quality harvest in
my experience, and that’s the real deal with this book. This will guide you to the finest quality smoke
that can be had; to me, TLO bud is equal to or greater than all other contenders in quality, and I have
smoked a lot of weed. Once you have used a good dose of something heavy with organic acid(s) on
your soil mix, you may be stuck having to use that on a regular basis, if your soil mix doesn’t
repopulate quickly and reach equilibrium.
Liquid Calcium and Cal-Mag products
I use these products sometimes, but depending on your particular situation I can see where some use
of this type of all-natural, mineral liquids could be beneficial. I have a bottle of Calplex, by
Organicare, and I have had it for a year at least. I use mine at a ratio of 10 drops per half gallon of
reverse osmosis water, maybe every third watering. It is very important not to overdo it with any
mineral liquids. If you shop around for one of these types of liquid mineral supplements, make sure
there isn’t something like iron added, because that likely means there are synthetic salts (called
EDTA) present and these will wreak havoc on your soil/plant health. Look in the “derived from” part
of the label.
This cal mag product contains synthetic nutrients and should NOT be used in a TLO grow
I have warned you before, and I will warn you again: maintaining good magnesium levels is a skill in
TLO growing. Cannabis likes a lot of magnesium, especially in flowering, but too much is very bad.
