Build & Grow in Optimized 100% Mineral-Based Water-Only Living Soil.

Grow Small to Medium Sized Plants While Using 20-Gallon Grassroots Living Soil Fabric Pots.
• Best For: Indoors & Outdoors, Ability to Move Containers, Smaller Plant Sizes and Yields
• Cons: Fixed Soil Volume Limiting Plant Potential, Harder to Manage Moisture & Temperature Fluctuations
• Pro Tip: Place Pot Directly on Native Soil or in a Tray w/ Air Gap. ***See Below for Details.

Grow Small to Large Sized Plants In-Ground or While Using TBSC's Metal Raised Garden Beds.
• Best For: Outdoor Grows, Better Moisture Retention, Temperature Stability, Increased Plant Health, Sizes and Yields, Best Access to Soil Ecosystem
• Cons: Stationary, Large Sizes Can Become Unmanageable (7'+)
• Pro Tip: Built-In Trellis Feature on Raised Garden Beds. Manage Plant Size by Reducing Vegetative Growth Period.


Pro Tips For: 20-Gallon Grassroots Living Soil Pots

Place Pot Directly on Native Soil
• Maximize Yields & Increase Resilience
• Cut Ten 3/8" Diameter Holes in Bottom of Container to Allow Roots to Penetrate into Soil Ecosystem Below
• Position in Area that Naturally Collects Rain Water but is Well Draining

Benefits Include:
• Larger Soil Volume (Increased Access to Native Soil Nutrients, Minerals & Indigenous Microorganisms)
• More Consistent Moisture Access (Less Evaporative Pressure)
• Cooler Soil Temperatures (Higher Ecosystem Productivity = More Nutrient Cycling)
• Mycorrhizal Networks (Increased Access to Soil Volume for Additional Nutrient & Moisture Cycling)

Tray w/ Air Gap
• Increased Water Resiliency & Capture Nutrient Leaching
• Cut Ten 3/8" Diameter Holes in Bottom of Container to Allow Roots to Penetrate into Aggregate Reservoir Below
• Fill Tray with Medium Sized Aggregates (80% Crushed Bricks & 20% Biochar)
• Always Maintain a 1" Air Gap. Never Let Soil or Container Sit in Water. Drill Overflow Holes in Tray for Outdoor Applications.

The Benefits:
• Water Reservoir, Moisture Wicking, Air Pruning & Additional Microclimates for Nutrient/Water/Air Exchange
• The Biochar will Retain Nutrients from Leaching and Hosting Biological Communities for Nutrient Cycling.
• Never Let Water Dry Out Completely. Automate with Float Valve and Irrigation.

Do Not Attempt to Move Either a System on the Ground or From a Tray. Root Damage May Occur and Will Adversely Affect Plant Health Especially During Flower.

Elements 420: Sun - Wind & Water-Only

Instructions for Mineral-Based Living Soil Preparation:

• Mix Soil Nutrient Pack at Maximum 20% by Volume into Growers Preference of Locally Sourced Soil Media. Soil Media NOT Included.
• Optimal Blend: 20% Nutrient Pack to 80% Soil Media. One Part Nutrients to Four Parts Soil Media.
• Optimal Soil Media: 50/50 Blend of Compost to Topsoil. Source Locally for Added Benefit from Indigenous Microorganisms (IMO) in Grow System.
• Per Plant: Mix (1) 5-Gallon Nutrient Pack with 20 Gallons of Soil Media to Achieve 20% Nutrients by Volume (5 + 20 = 25 Gallons Total for Use in 20-Gallon Containers or In-Ground Application. Use Extra 5-gallons to Topdress Through Grow Cycle).
• Dilute to Suit. Don't Exceed 20% Nutrients by Volume. Don't Exceed 50% Compost by Volume. The Higher Concentration of Nutrients, the Longer the Feed Cycle. Best to Topdress at Least 1x Per Cycle, 2 Weeks Before Flower. Average Topdress is 2 Gallons After 6-8 Weeks of Vegetative Growth.


Seed Start. Record Seed Starting Day for Reference!!!

Timeline: Day 1: Seed Start & Soil Prep
• Slowly Hydrate Starting Mix in a Bowl before Filling Starter Cells.
• Sow Seed(s) 1/4" Deep Directly in 2.5" x 2.5" Seed Starter Cells with Included TBSC Seed Starting Mix.
• Keep Starter Cells In Dark, Warm Environment (70-80F) with even Moisture and High Humidity. Can use Plastic Bags, Saran Wrap or Humidity Domes. Seeds to Germinate in 2-5 Days on Average in Ideal Conditions.
• Build/Prepare Soil Media. Mix Nutrient Pack with Soil Media. Important to let the Soil ‘Mature’ in Container or Soil for 2-4 Weeks before Transplant.

Timeline: Days 2-8: Seed Germination
• Keep Starter Cells In Dark, Warm Environment (70-80F) with even Moisture and High Humidity. Can use Plastic Bags, Saran Wrap or Humidity Domes. Seeds to Germinate in 2-5 Days on Average in Ideal Conditions.
• Check Daily. Immediately Move into Full Sun Once Seed Has Broken Surface. 'Stretching' Will Occur if Emerging Plant Does Not Get Enough Light.
• Keep Temperature Exposure to 55F or More.

Timeline: Days 8-21+/-: Vegetative till Transplant
• Full Sun, Watered, Temps Ideally 65+ (70-80F best)
• Start Carefully Inspecting Root Growth around Day 10-14. When Roots Have Filled Entire Starter Cell, It's Time to Up Plant into Larger Transplant Container or Move to Final Grow Space.

Timeline: Transplant-Flower: Vegetative Growth Period
• Grow in Full Sun, No Night Light Exposure, and Access to Watering.
• Keep Container or Soil Watered & Protected with Mulch from Fluctuations in Temperature & Evaporative Loss. Check the Soil Daily for Watering. Water when Soil has Dried Down 2" from Soil Surface. Rehydrate Slowly, Evenly and Deeply. Do not Overwater and Create Runoff in Containers.
• Keep Branches & Leaves from Touching Soil Surface. Prune as Necessary.
• Outdoor Grows: Top-Dress after Eight Weeks of Vegetative Growth for Long Veg Cycles or by the Third Week of July. Round 1 of Max 20% Pruning.
• Indoor Grows: Top-Dress Two Weeks Before Flip to Flower. Round 1 of Max 20% Pruning.

Timeline: Flower Growth Period
• Record Flower Flip when White 'Pistils' Start Appearing at Bud Sites. This is the Beginning of Flower and is Important to Record for Future Use.
• Round 2 of Pruning Typically 3-4 Weeks after Round 1 and Max 2 Weeks into Flower Flip. Max 20% Pruning.
• Inspect for Insect Pressure Often. React According to Pressure. Pre-Treating for Corn Worm may be Necessary using Bacillus Thuringiensis (BT) Spray in Certain Areas when Growing Outdoors. In Pennsylvania, this Treatment is Recommended to Start via Weekly Applications from Mid July and Continue until 2 Weeks from Harvest.
• Cover from Exposure to Rain after Buds have Started to Grow Into Each Other. This Microclimate of Moisture Humidity and Reduced Airflow is what Causes Bud Rot from the Conditions that Support Powdery Mildew.


Harvest:

• Harvest Plant at Desired Trichome Development. Use Jewelers Loupe for 30/70 Amber to Cloudy Heads.
• Post Harvest: Dry for 10-21 days Under Targeted 60% Humidity & 60 Degree Temperatures with Indirect Air Movement.
