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

Botanicare
Any of their liquid products have synthetic salts, with the exception of the Organicare division of
theirs, which does have a few nice products that are safe for TLO growing last time I checked.
Earth Juice
While these products are usually all natural, they are also normally full of organic acids for chelation,
and will really dive your pH and piss off a lot of your microlife, especially the Myco fungi, it seems
to me. Something like Earth Juice nutrients can be a lifesaver if you mess things up and kill or piss off
your microlife. You’ll just need to go with that liquid feeding dynamic, and I would also want to add
some CaMg+ by General Organics to that blend as well.
Miracle Grow
Their “All Organic” soil mix seems all good to me from reading the label thoroughly. In the world of
synthetic growing, Miracle Grow is unacceptable really, and its refinement levels even as synthetics
go must be really low. I base this on how insanely harsh MG grown weed smokes, even with a good
flushing. Same goes for Shultz, and others.
Roots Organics
These guys are all good to go for TLO growing, but you just need to be careful with a couple of their
liquid products that seem to be chelated pretty heavy duty with organic acids. From my experience
with many of their products I think they are high quality and truly all natural.
Mycorrhizal Fungus Concerns
Plenty of you reading this who think you are all organic and are using the Mycorrhizal fungus
religiously are wasting your money. Here’s why: any time you pour a liquid flowering fertilizer that
has any real amount of available phosphorus (P) in it onto your plants, you mess with your Myco fungi
in a negative way. This causes them to stop doing what they do best, and that is bringing the plants
lots of lovely P and other minerals too. Through many years I dialed in my Myco fungi effectiveness,
and I am at the point now where I can actually see when the Myco “bite” the roots and take hold. The
whole trick here is not killing the Myco fungi, or pissing them off to the point where they go dormant
—in other words we don’t want our Myco fungi rendered useless. Global P is the enemy here, my
green friends.
