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

homeowners who have water features on their properties, like ponds and whatnot, often use little
bundles of barley to fight algae and fungi build up. Last but not least by any means, DO NOT USE
CHLORINATED WATER! As well as chlorine there is a new compound called chloramine and it
doesn’t just bubble out, so you NEED to filter this out with activated carbon filtering. Chlorinated
water just has no place in TLO growing.
Hydrated Lime
I would never recommend using this in TLO container growing because it kills anything living it
comes into contact with on a microbial level, until it fully decomposes/cooks. It can also easily take
your soil mix pH up way too high, so always use Dolomite lime for TLO container growing.
However, any lime needs to be cooked before growing in the soil it was mixed with, so remember
this even when using Dolomite lime.
Overwatering
This is a big deal, my green growing brethren. Overwatering probably kills more plants than anything
else when it comes to indoor container gardening. Houseplants too, man; people kill a ton of
houseplants this way, believe it or not. Too much water in a growing container is always a bad idea—
now drill that into your head and always err on the side of caution. This is especially important
within the first couple of weeks after any transplant.
