“Activate the aromatic power of your garden’s natural terpenes.”
If you’re looking for a versatile, organic, easy to use nutrient for your heavy-feeding plant varieties, Roots Organics: Terp Tea is the nute for you. We decided to test out this one-part grow and one-part bloom formula on our current batch of Citrus Cherry smokable hemp, and we couldn’t be happier with the results so far. The 7-1-1 Grow formula, which we tried first, is derived from sustainably-sourced bat guano, fish bone meal, langbeinite, kieserite, non-GMO soybean meal, feather meal, chicken manure, kelp meal, and dolomite. These ingredients are packed with nitrogen, which your plants need to push out lush vegitative growth. Additionally, it also contains microbial-boosting non-plant ingredients like humic acid, beneficial bacteria, and beneficial fungi, which help your plants actually access all that nitrogenous goodness.
There are two feeding styles you can use with Terp Tea. You can either mix it dry directly into your growing media during your initial planting so that it releases slowly throughout the growth period, or if you want a little more control, you can brew it into a tea and direct feed your plants.
We chose the controlled direct feeding method with our plants, so the day before we want to feed them, we mix 1 Tablespoon per gallon of water, and let that brew in an aerated solution overnight. The next day everything is all ready, so as soon as the lights come on and we open up the tent, the plants get their food! It’s that easy, and the slightest touch of a leaf fills the area with the juicy smells of a happy hemp plant.
We’re in the early flower stage right now and we just switched over to the 3-7-4 Terp Tea Bloom. We expect to see excellent results through the upcoming weeks with big buds coming soon. So if this interests you and you really want to activate the aromatic power of your garden’s natural terpenes, stop on by, check out the plants, and grab yourself a bag of Roots Organic: Terp Tea.

I have one last question I’ve been getting a ton of different answers.When do you stop using grow and switch to bloom im an outdoors guy so it makes it harder to follow a scedule.So basically do I start when the little white hairs pop out or when their are tiny buds forming.if you could answer that I would be grateful I spent an hour on YouTube and still don’t know if I have the correct info.Some say start when they pre flower others say when buds are size of dimes im confused help lol

Hey Tony, The teaspoon per gallon of soil is only if you are top dressing with it. For the best results, use a tsp per gallon of water that you are watering with. It’s easy to burn your plants by top dressing with that much at a time. — Ryan at FSG

Hey Again Tony! We switch to flower nutrients indoors when we flip the light schedule. Outdoors is a little different. We’d start using the flower nutrients when you start to see the white pistils emerge. Typically 4-5 weeks after the Summer Solstice is when we see them develop, but that may vary, depending on where you are.

Do I ph the water to 6.6 is what I’ve been having no problems with and I would ph before adding the powder feed amd someone told me I need to add the feed into the water let sit over night than ph it to the level you want is that true or false thank you. PH WATER before or after adding the feeding powDER?
ashley says
Hi Mark,
I always pH after adding the nutrients because nutrients can change the pH level. I also never let it sit overnight (though you can do this if you are trying to evaporate any chlorine in the water). Hope that helps! — Ryan at FSG

Hello there. Once in flower, at what frequency do you feed with the Bloom Terp Tea? Once a batch of tea is brewed, do you use X amount of tea and cut it with X amount of water, or just feed the straight tea as you would water?
ashley says
Hi Mark,
We typically feed twice a week with the Terp tea. If brewing it, we use the straight tea instead of cutting it. If you want to know what’s going on in it like PPM, you can use a meter and determine if you should cut it depending on what age the plants are. Hope that helps! — Ryan at Fifth Season
William says
Do i stop using the bloom tea or do i feed all the way through flower?
ashley says
Hi William,
We recommend that you stop using it the last week of flower so you can flush the plants properly before harvesting. Cheers! –Ryan at Fifth Season Gardening
