First, I am not bashing Roots organic tea. Just a pretty unscientific observation. I brewed 5 gallons according to instructions, 5 tablespoons of powder, aerated it for a day or two. Put a nitrate test strip in it and it read about 50 ppm. Way less than I thought it was going to read. Then for curiosity’s sake I put some miracle Gro organic in according to directions and the ppm‘s shot up to over 500.Would like to see someone with a blue lab and some Terp tea brew and measure total ppm’s.Someone else said he top dresses with the TErp tea powder and get good results. Just something for you to chew on. Also the 2% water soluble and 5% water insoluble nitrogen may come in to play with the strength. I am no fertilizer expert obviously using test strips. But at half strength I’m wondering if the plant even noticed it. Just something to research. Don’t want to fly off half cocked and damaged the delicate little girl.
