Well to begin. I'd like to create a discussion about High Tech Garden Supplies' Stump Tea. I purchased a medium sized 4 oz bag to evaluate the product and see if it works, and how well it works. The bag itself has no companies mentioned besides HTG, and google doesn't link it to any companies besides HTG either. I'm coming to the conclusion that HTG has either taken the responsibility of selling the product and aided in the production of it, or HTG is the sole company responsible for the creation of the product that is being advertised with the following:
Bring Life To Your Roots With Stump Tea!!!
At HTG Supply, our employees are constantly searching for better ways to grow for our customers; and it was through this research that a direct relationship with the manufacturer of extremely high-quality products blossomed to produce Stump Tea, a one of a kind root enhancer! With this revolutionary ready-made brew, gardeners can now enjoy the proven benefits of compost tea in an instant liquid form (just add water)!
Stump Tea is a special blend of soil biology and beneficial Mycorrhizae that occurs naturally in the some of the world's most pristine forests. This synergistic mix vigorously inoculates the root zone and boosts metabolic rate by colonizing the roots with billions of "little helpers" that increase root size and production which in turn increases yields! Stump Tea not only has a great mix of biology, but it also incorporates soil conditioners and a few other natural ingredients to make one killer tea. Humic and fulvic acids aid in the uptake of micro and macro nutrients. Molasses feeds the biology so it can thrive. Kelp is an excellent source of natural micro and macro nutrients that are very easy for plants to take in. With all of the key elements that make up a great tea in one instant mix, Stump Tea has done all of the work for you, and ensures a perfect brew every time. Stump Tea is a proven, time-tested recipe that will impress even the most experienced of tea connoisseurs!

Root Drench - Mix 1 Tbsp. per gallon.
Foliar - Mix 1 Tbsp. per gallon. Spray directly on leaves.

The advertising is making it seem "godly" to say the least...
I don't like to "trust" advertising all the time. SO much misleading advertisements that make products appear better. The problem I see with stump tea is the fact that under "active ingredients" on the bag's label, it simply lists the active micro bacteria that are included in the powder. Then to the right of active ingredients, there's a couple words that say "other ingredients 97%". They don't list the other ingredients ANYWHERE...
Judging by the product's description, they did make it sound as though they have premixed molasses, and other food for the micro organisms into the powder.
Iff (the extra f implies if and only if) Stump Tea includes food for the micro organisms, then it would only make sense that either you must continually water with stump tea to feed the micro bacteria, or feed them another way.
Regardless of how the product works, I have been using it now for some time and am seeing great root results. The roots are striving for sure. But i'm curious as to how long the bacteria can support itself without needing more nutrients to convert into plant energy.
Should this product be getting more recognition for being advanced? Or is this a hoax that works but not for the right reasons..
