Roots organic terp tea

[Tdunn3124]

New grower here. I was instructed to purchase the roots organic terp tea at my local hydro shop before finding this forum(I love this fuckin place) and realizing it was a heavy mega crop forum and something I plan to switch to once I use what I already purchased. So I have a few questions if anyone Is willing to help out there that has used these products. Also if your recommendation is to throw it out and buy mega crop or xxxx or yyyy please tell me so I don’t waste my time.
1. Have you used the terp tea line successfully on autoflowers
2. Do you add additional amendments or stick to just the grow and bloom terp tea throughout whole lifecycle
3. Could you share a feeding schedule
4. Do you water in or top dress
5. Do you use the dosages on bags or use your own dosages? Please share if you don’t follow recommendations
6. Do you recommend this or am I better off getting rid of it and buying something else?

thank you all for your help!

Ive been using terp tea bloom with bloom uprisings and uprisings elemental and I like it alot I've honestly never read the dosing instructions lol I use a table spoon to get a ruff idea of wat I'm putting in. I grow in soil so I don't have to top dress for the first 20 to 30 days depending on the vigor of the strain. It's a good line and so easy and is cheap I really like it I've used and use as a super soil in base 1/3rd of pot this also works well not dissing mega crop bc I've never ran any @Waira has used terp tea he may have some input. I will try to help out where I can just tag me so I see it.

I have only used the dry nutrients as a top dress and follow the feeding schedule in their catalog or back of the bag. I am happy with the dry nutrient way of growing and have only heard positive comments on the tea's

So, Roots Organics Terp Tea line cam recommended to me by a local grow mate as well. I only used the Bloom as a supplementary feed though, so I can't comment on using it for the whole run. I figure it'll be fine if the Bloom was any measure, but since it's an organic line, there are caveats to be sure!
Unlike synthetic nutes, not all the stuff in the TT formulation is immediately available, organic based stuff need time and microbial activity to break them down, convert to available forms.. You need a solid soil herd for that, so inoculants and/or worm poop teas (EWC) are very important IMO...
-- other supp's like Si, humic-fulvic, kelp/micronute supplements (Earth Juice Microblast is my go-to) are great. I think the TT has humic-fulvic in it though, and if you chose Recharge inoculant (well tested and approved by growers here) it covers that, h-f, kelp, even a little powdered molasses as well (carb's are microbe food)... Micronutes are mostly the metals like Fe, Mn, Cu, as well as others; they are mostly immobile nutes too(can't be translocated from older tissues to support new growth), are very reactive so need to be well chelated. That may be lost after time in the soil, so I found regular hits now and again of Microblast heads off that problem well; humic-fulvic are also great chelators... There's some very good info in the Reference section on this, so check it out!
-- feed sched' I can't paint an all purpose picture on, it'll depend on several factors... T's, plant size, 'crobe activity (tied to T's), what medium you use (true soil is best IMO, but soilless will work)... On that soilless is ProMix. Sunshine #4, coco; these have very little ingredients in them, unlike true soil. As such, feeding needs to start right away, and with soil you have a head start in the components, unlike soilless... Organics are for sure far less likely to burn, so there's a plus, but underfeeding is a possibility too of course....
Get a quality soil pH probe for direct, in-pot measurements, forget run-off and all that crap, it's lousy... With organics it's less likely to go off range, but entirely possible... I use the Accurate 8 soil pH probe, it's no marvel of tech, but it fast easy and to date served me well... Blue Labs makes a very nice unit too, working entirely differently though vs. A8.... Don't bother with cheap skinny metal probe brands you see all over, they suck! A8 works on the same principles, but is far better built and more accurate.
- I mixed the TT up with some wetting agent in a bucket and watered in; you can make tea too of course, it's all on the label...
- dosages I followed the label as a guideline, but you have to read the plant too... size and food demand is proportional; frequency, I feed 2-3x/week, less conc. when small/young, most hearty when larger...

So, going with TT line is worth a shot IMO. Get a premium soil, no shitty cheap stuff! What exactly will depend on what you can find, but I'd avoid Fox Farms soils, especially Ocean Forest, a known problem soil for it's poor pH, crappy undercooked materials... Roots Organics original is OK and fairly broadly available,... If you are in CA, look for Sanctuary Soil Empire Builder or Victory Blend...

Wow this is awesome. Thank you so much....I’ve been giving it bio heaven, molasses, and water the day after roots terp tea but I think I need micro blast. Mog also recommended it. Again thank you so much for this info. I’m using it as my guide. Will update you as well

Sorry forgot to add when I do the terp tea also add 1 cup worm poop

Couple more notes I used a mix of ff ocean forest abs ff happy frog for soil. Have a blue lab ph pen...do you think I also need the soil ph pen? Is that what you mean by probe. I have the ph pen to test my water. Water to 6.3-6.6...so the oldest plant was my first ever grow used nature living organic super soil concentrate but it didn’t go to good. Mog has saved it and buds are flying in....the Ither ones are my 3 white widows from crop kongs in the mixed soil I mentioned and I’m using TT and worm poop with that tea I mentioned the following day (molasses abs bio heaven).

They are coming in much healthier than my first plant. This is something I’ve wanted to do since I was 15 years old. Finally am able to so am so excited and addicted may be the word lol. Finding this awesome community has been one of the best parts. I just can’t wait for the day I’m knowledgeable enough to help new growers

Shit so sorry for so
Many replies. When the recharge comes in so I mix that with the terp tea or following day? And is recharge something I would made a tea with abs it’s ok to still add molasses bio heaven and worm poop or is that overkill?

actually I guess that’s a question I have in general.Sorry if it’s a dumb one. When feeding can I just mix it all in one aerated tea? TT, worm poop, bio heaven, molasses, and recharge. That will be my new regimen once recharge gets here Monday. Or should I separate them in any way. I read it was good to do bio heaven day after feeding, but maybe that was wrong. Didn’t read it on autoflower.net I know I need to do some clean waterings of just phd water so thinking if I mix it all together in one healthy tea it may be more effective.
