OK. TLO is about the coolest thing I can think of. Only I live in a tiny home in a big city. Space and the fact that I am a complete newby and am having a hard time wrapping my head around all the nutrient issues is the issue. Can some one please tell this newb a good solid out of the box/bag soil mix that I can go down to the local grow shop and get off of the shelf, That is simple to mix up, that will give me good results and not burn my plants.

@ Joedirt Dude, you scared the shit out of me! I thought I was seeing a ghost!

This not the best forum to ask that question... we have a new growers forum, that is staffed and visited by members who are better prepared to answer those kinds of questions.... Plus, you will get far more attention if you start a new thread in the appropriate forum.

If I could answer your question, I would. There are lots of different bagged mixes. I am not aware of any that do not require supplemental fertilization while growing... But, I don't even look at bagged mixes, so I am not well informed about everything that is out there.

Sorry, didn't see this before... short answer: 1 cup greensand 5 cups dolomite... You might be able to use a little more lime (oyster shells, egg shells) but I'm not sure about adding more dolomite because of the mag.

LOL i already added it but i just guessed and almost got it right lol TY X Next ill try to find some mycros to add rock phosphate...I keep saying then ill be done lol but the mix just keeps getting richer. This thread put my ladies way ahead of the game after my first try.2nd try ladies are 50% bigger then my first round with the cooked TLO.I cant wait to see how she does in flower she lil over 3 feet tall. TLO will give you a big head and make you feel like a master LOL

Right, time to get cooking.

In my box of tricks I have

Seaweed extract growth stimulant 3.6-4.8-1.4
Fish bone and blood mix 4-7-4
Sulphate of potash 0-0-48
Bone Meal 5.5-7.5-0
Garden Fertiliser 7-7-7
Oyster shells (?)
Egg shells (?)
Chicken manure (?)
Horse manure (?)
And a bottle of Cannazym (if this is useful?)

So, with that already in my stocks, what else do I need to get or would that be okay for a first run??

TLO sounds exactly what I've been looking for.
