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

my green friends. If you pollute your soil mix with ANY synthetic nutrients, that soil mix will no
longer be able to support super natural levels of microlife, due to the dehydrating qualities of those
synthetic salts. As soon as your soil begins to dry out a bit the salts hyper dehydrate the microbial
life. So avoid using anything with synthetic EDTA or anything like it, ever, on your TLO soil mix.
If you do make the mistake of using some synthetics on your container plants, the only way I know
of to recover healthy plants to harvest is to either stay on the synthetics for the duration—yuk—or,
switch over to some kind of heavily chelated organic nutrient like Earth Juice that uses large amounts
of organic acids to make nutrients absorbable for the duration.
Avoid being fooled when trying out new products, and there are a ton of tricks they use to fool the
ignorant and make them think they are using organic methods, when in reality, they are not. Read all
labels very carefully and call manufacturers if you have any doubts. Ask them directly if they have
any synthetic salts present in the product.
Synthetics galore. Beware!
Here’s a partial list of a few things that are NOT good for TLO growing:
Fox Farm
Tiger Bloom, Grow Big, Marine Cuisine, and American Pride all have synthetics in them. Their Big
Bloom on the other hand, is one of my all-time favorite things to use, especially in teas. Their Happy
Frog line seems all natural to me, and I myself use several of these dry products.
