Let’s Build A TLO Container Together
For this example, let’s use a 2-gallon container—the size of container I like to flower plants in—
under 400 watt metal halide Eye Blue lamps. My plants rarely get over 2.5 feet tall when finished
under the 400 watt lamps, and this is perfect for me. Building from the bottom up, use a new or clean
2-gallon container; I like to spray the inside of the container with a little water before anything else,
and this allows any nutrients applied in a layer on the floor to adhere and start processing better.

REV’S TIP
As a rule of thumb, the day I am going to build containers, I cut my TLO
soil mix with some (living) earthworm castings and perlite. This
inoculates the whole container mix with massive microbial life and diversity—so your mission is
not to kill them—plus it will aerate better, which is always a good thing. I also like to make sure
the root ball sets on very mellow soil mix and I usually just use a little Gardner & Bloome
Premium Potting Soil with Myco fungi already added for this purpose.
