“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.

So I want to get away from advanced nutrients. I get great results but it cost an arm an a leg. With these 2 bags I will be able to grow my crop up to harvest. Is that what you are saying?
ashley says
After coming close to the end of our growing cycle, we also recommend supplementing the terp tea with Roots organic liquid Budda grow and bloom in addition to steady feeding of cal mag.

Hello I am wondering About the feeding schedule for the terp tea, I plan to top dress with it. Mainly curious on how often to top dress. Thanks in advance. Please email me with answer. 🙂
ashley says
To top dress with Terp Tea, apply 1 tsp. per gallon of soil or growing media. That can be done once per week according to the Roots Organic Dry Fertilizer Feeding Schedule. We also emailed you this response directly!
LEE says
I have always had a question when using nutrients during my first year growing. The question is, when I have the tea brewed do I replace my normal watering, let’s say 2 gallons of water, with 2 gallons of tea at the prescribed interval?
ashley says
Hey Lee, Yes, on feeding days (per the recommended schedule from Terp Tea), replace your normal regular watering amount with the same amount of brewed Terp Tea in solution.
Seth says
How often do you feed when you brew the tea ?
ashley says
Hi Seth. It would be the same frequency as for dry, top-dressing application. Full, customizable feeding schedule can be found on the roots website (http://rootsorganicssoil.com/feeding_schedule.html). The benefit of brewing the tea is to increase the amounts of beneficial bacteria. The NPK levels will stay the same whether its brewed or not.
