They are good. Most Roots stuff is solid.
The ingredients in the terp tea are really finely ground so they are easy to work with. If you don't feel like messing with the brewing process you can just top dress instead. I haven't had any problems with bugs. In the past I used Happy Frog and got gnats.
There is also a late flower, Bloom Booster terp tea that's high in K. I think that's pretty cool.

Thanks for the info. The late bloom booster is that the incredible bulk? I have used there 707 a lot lately instead of ff. Really like it.

It's called "Terp Tea Bloom Booster." .5- 6- 18

Incredible Bulk is a similar recipe from a different company. I haven't used that one before.

I use Terp Tea Grow and Terp Tea Bloom. If I wasn't switching to coco I would continue to use it until I made my own copycat or something. I originally was making the teas but switched to just top dressing along with molasses. I also use RO Original as soil and a different brand dolomite lime for Cal and Mag. Never used their Elemental or Bloom Booster but, I'd bet they're great. The only two things I can bitch about is price and availability. My local shops always seem to be out.

I love the terp tea honestly. Super good for top dressing or teas. It's really just to amp up terpene profile with an arrangement of organic materials.

I’m on my first indoor grow and I used purple cow Indicanja organic living soil and have been top dressing with roots organics terp tea bloom and their liquid cal mag supplement and my ladies seem to be liking it.one of the pics is my ghost train haze supercropped...

Looks like I’m sold! Not going to worry about the cal mag. I picked up a bag of gardening lime. Going to try that for the first time this next round. I always taste the cal mag I think so I’m trying lime instead.

OUCH! That's a pretty stiff amount of P and K to add! Even late bloom.
Things you should know:
P speeds up the finish. At the price of proper life cycle - If used too much.
High K use? Will inhibit THC production! A lot more then many think.
This is taken from Aurora's site on it.
Organics Terp Tea Bloom Booster helps bring the ratio of potassium and other primary macronutrients into your targeted range to provide Soluble Potash supplementation that boosts harvest quality and yields. Beneficial bacteria are added to enhance availability of plant nutrients and to help plants to resist stress. The ultimate support for later stage natural blossom enhancement.
"soluble potash" Delivered by the use of "SULFATE of potash"
This tells me that the whole terp part is being effected by a single source of SULFUR in the form of a sulfate.
You can effect terps by increasing the available S (in the form of sulfates) and doing far better then this "formula"...
Think Mag sulfates and K sulfates in strictly limited amounts, at certain ratio's.
While it "says" Terp tea.... It's more the next part that this shit is formulated to do. "Bloom Booster"
When I see the term bloom booster ,, I think it's just another thing to part you from your money!
You shouldn't "need" it at all! MOST nutrient lines that call for it's use... Don't chart right for it, and their NPK ratio's are fucked...

What the difference between "Sulfate of Potash" and "Potassium Sulfate?"
How limited should my Mag Sulfate and K Sulfate be? What's a good ratio of Magnesium to Potassium?

First: They are the same, just different "names".
Last week of veg and the first 4-5 of bloom.
Mg sulfate -1.5 - 2 % solution at 10 ml per gallon of feed (make your own with 8 TBL of organic Epsom salts and 1.5 tsp of DARK brown sugar. Mix in 1 gallon of RO and shake to dissolve.
Potassium Sulfate - 6-8% solution at the same rate and time's as above.
227 grams of organic K sulfate and 1.5 tsp of DARK brown sugar - Gallon of RO and mix well.
Some K sulfates do not dissolve well. Buy it from buildasoil.com OR any gardening soil building site.

OK
Magnesium, Potassium and Sulfur at the end of veg and then through the first half of flower. Then dropping off.
Somehow I thought I was supposed to use Phosphorus and Calcium during early/mid flower. Then lower that and increase Potassium and Magnesium in the last half or third of flowering.
If P should always be kind of light and K and Mag are lowered after week 5, what am I supposed to give my plants during the second half of flowering?

Pretty sure the temp tea has calcium magnesium and sulfur as well as the npk

I thought he was asking about the terp tea bloom not bloom booster. The terp tea bloom NPK is 3-7-4

Hmm, the P is just a little tic high yet. I mean the N is too low for a P value of that. Future troubles down the road......I MIGHT try it if it had an N of at least 4....
I want my plants to completely get to the finish.
Still, that is much better...

This is a SUPPLEMENT! NOT your main nutrient source!
The whole point is elevated Sulfur!
Old (smart) guys that use Jacks. Use jack's CITRUS mix for the extra S!

Ok!
Feed steady through bloom. And bump sulfur a little bit for smells/flavors. Tolerate a little potassium or magnesium in your Sulfur Supplement but don't overdo it with K. And go easy on Phosphorus so your buds finish slowly.

Use a grow nute with it to even out the ratios and give you more of what your looking for... I’m not running into any troubles my plants are all in tip top shape. I used purple cow organics indicanja soil and have also been making compost teas and top dressing with worm castings so all that together has been working very well for me nutrient wise. Currently in my 3rd week of flower and this is my first indoor grow.
