Have been investigating terpinator a bit and reading comments about how it stops growth and should only be applied right prior to harvest, 10 to 12 days ahead of harvest. Anyone concur with this?
From my limited knowledge as a farmer and agronomist, there is only one thing that will do this. Ethylene or ethephon. Ethrel. This is the hormone of senescence or old age. Makes sense. All the grape guys, mango and avocado guys do it.
Sending a sample to a lab and asking them to measure the quantity of ethepon is in the bottle should be fairly inexpensive.

Stops growth hu? Wow, I never noticed that. Been 2 years using it & Im very satisfied with my yields & quality. I beg to differ with whomever said that. I doubt they've used the product or there's other factors playing into their problems.

I was just repeating what I read on other forums about the product Terpinator.
Then I started reading about folks experience using ethrel and or florel, sure seemed to be reading very similar descriptions.
Anyone have a refractometer and a EC meter, could someone run some numbers on this product? If there is sugar, the refractometer will go up pretty quickly. The EC will give us and idea of the ppms in the product.
I will go ahead and buy some to try some experiments myself. Stay tuned!

Dont listen to the stop growth tards or use it at the last stage of flowering. Follow tye instructions on the bottle. Use it at around 10ml (2tsp) per gallon as soon as you flip or a week or so after and ramp it up weekly until you top out at 20 - 30 ml per gallon at peak flowering. Thats how i and alot others use it. I actually dont use it anymore. Its strain specific to really see results for me and extremely overpriced at the amounts you use it at and for what it really does. Its not a deal breaker is what iam saying.

As a company they do not need to label the other ingredients other then the NPK values and what sources its derived from. Most companies dont put everything they have in the bottle because its proprietary to their company so by law they can get away with it. That is why it sucks for us growers because it is up to us to test these products to see if they work or not. Never tried this stuff but with such a high rate, makes me believe they watered their formulation down a lot.

My dad gave me some leftover Fox Farm Grow Big and Big Bloom, and also some leftover Terpinator. I bought a pint of Tiger Bloom so I can use the whole nutrient line + the Terpinator on these two plants. Have been adding since after seedling, 5ml weeks 1-4. Plants just hit week 5 so they'll be getting 10ml. I'm almost done flowering two other plants using GH Flora Trio without any terp or flower additives, so we'll see how these stack up vs. a pair of plants getting Terpinator their entire lives.
I'll try to remember to chime in on this, as my Terpinator'd Chemdawgs from PPP will be done around mid April, i think.

I haven’t used the product, but I’m always wary of anything that advises “ramping up the product”. Seems to me that anything needing a ramping up isn’t doing much to begin with. These and “weight stackers” are in my mind snake oil.

Hi there,
I know the thread is a bit old, but here are some of my figures:
Adding 280ml of Terpinator to 70 litres increases the EC by 0.4 or by 260 ppm.
I have been told that Green Planet also make Rezin which is the same product - I don't think that is correct at all. Terpinator is made by a company in the US - Green Planet is a Canadian company. I think that Green Planet licensed Terpinator for the Canadian market, but nothing more than that.
Terpinator costs around 55 quid, and Rezin 80 quid, so something isn't right there, if they are the same product (which I very much doubt). Green Plant also state that Rezin is EC neutral, in that it has no impact to EX or PPM - I know for 100% sure that Terpinator has a big impact, as shown above, so am keen to see if Rezin has any impact - if not, I'll be trying out Rezin on my next grow.
Anyone used Rezin at all?

I have a bunch of samples from Green planet and tried the 1 part kit before on some plants outside in pots. It had rezin in it. It's the same thing as terpinator. Dont be fooled man the nutrient world is like the wild wild west anything goes. Every company charges what they want to not for what's in the product. (Generally speaking). While there's some.that are better than others most base nutes are just gh rebranded. It's how it goes man. Really these guys could be buying the same thing from some other company and just rebranding it to their own brand and charging 200x the cost. It's all about marketing and bs. People buy terpinator because of the name and the cool skull on the bottle. I'm sure 95% of them don't even look at the ingredients. He'll it could say 100% water and people would still buy it! As long as they have some social media likes and some bud shots on Instagram they're golden. That being said it's perfectly ok to buy nutes knowing that and not falling for marketing gimmicks etc. All you need for a good grow is your base nutrients. Once you start adding all this extra malarkey is when you start seeing issues from overfeeding. Nute companies grow their bank accounts before they grow your plants. Honestly the stuff was mega stank (sour). It's an acid of some kind, I looked it up a couple years back when I was using it.
Ok just looked it up I was right
There's really not much to it. You could just use black strap and some sulphur and get better results imo but whatever it's all the same just what YOU want to use really

With a name like terpinator, I would believe it would increase terps, not trichs.

No but you should be able to notice an increase in odor and taste.
