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

So what exactly is True Living Organics?
TLO is an organic style of growing in which the power is given BACK to the plant. For more time
than we can understand, plants have been feeding their own needs by finding what they require in the
soil in which they live. Cannabis has always done the same. Somewhere along the line, cannabis
growers started taking the decisions away from the plant, and after that, they even took away the soil.
They force-fed the plants nutrients even when they didn’t want them. They took away the natural
sources of elements and replaced them with synthetics. And I should know; I was one of these
growers.
Hash made from TLO buds will almost literally blow your mind!
Now, though, I’m doing things differently. My True Living Organics style is a world away from
nutrient solutions and chemical additives. TLO growing uses the power of the microlife to let the
plant feed itself what it needs, when it needs it. It puts the plant in charge of itself rather than at the
mercy of the grower. You see, a plant’s roots actually communicate with the microlife that lives
underground in the area immediately surrounding the roots (the rhizosphere). The plant offers up
certain elements that attract the appropriate microlife. These microlife create nutrients that the plant
requires, and bringing them close means that these nutrients are then available to the plant. This
delicate symbiosis can be totally messed up by doing something as simple as adding liquid nutrients
that are chelated using organic acids; they’re all organic for sure, but not suitable for TLO growing.
By using such products, you will devastate the microbial population into a chaotic state, and to avoid
being too technical, we’ll just say that this has the same effect on the microlife as the bends has on
scuba divers who come up too fast. In chaos, the microlife is not nearly as helpful to the plant roots,
and if the pH swings too far it can actually kill the majority of the microlife. It should go without
saying that micro-genocide is not good for your plant.
