Feeding Plants Pure Green Tea & Molasses???

i was also thinking about using relaxation tea too. can i please get som replys????

Weed grown outta love will always turn out great! However Yes, I believe you don't really know what your doing. This Urge to re-invent the wheel, by feeding it new things and whatnot are typical NOOB behaviors. Every noob wants to have an edge.....But just because your plants didn't Die from a solution you gave them, does not mean they are liking it. Molasses is a tried and true additive that benifits organic grows. However, why teas? The saying " Just because you can, doesn't mean you should." Applies here. You want an edge....master consistency with the plants basic necessitys, start to finish. Watch real close, note what you see. Do it again, and again. Keeps your basics controlled. You will fast track your knowledge x experience. Don't waste your time experimenting, when you haven't mastered the basics. You seem passionate, so your drive to grow can only benifit, however, if you want my advice.....redirect your focus a little bit.

my question is what will the plant get from the tea? idk what the NPK of green tea is....are there micro nutes?

ohhh rimshot!

I thought this post merited some research. keep in mind experimentation is ALLWAYS a GO0D THING!!!! Imagine the first person to feed molasses to a plant? probably crazy. but hey now it's a well accepted technique. anyways

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catechin

green tea can contain upwards of 30% Catechin polyphenomes. if anything is going to cause an effect it's this stuff.

interesting bit I read that may apply to this situation:

"Catechin also has ecological functions.
It is released into the ground by some plants to hinder the growth of their neighbors, a form of allelopathy[43]. Centaurea maculosa, the spotted knapweed, is the most studied plant showing this behaviour, catechin isomers, both released into the ground through its root exudates, have effects ranging from antibiotic to herbicide. It causes a reactive oxygen species wave through the target plant's root starting in the apical meristem rapidly followed by a Ca2+ spike that kills the root cells through apoptosis.[44] Most plants in the European ecosystem have defenses against catechin, but few plants are protected against it in the North-American ecosystem where Centaurea maculosa has been introduced causing uncontrolled growth of this weed.
(+)-Catechin acts as an infection-inhibiting factor in strawberry leaf[45]. Epicatechin and catechin may prevent coffee berry disease by inhibition of appressorial melanization of Colletotrichum kahawae[46]."

+ Rep for you! Great answer.

Too many noobs try and buy experience in the form of expensive nutes and additives and of course the company's exploit that inexperience for a lot of $$$$$.

The more experience, the less you need and the better the grow.

Spot ON! !!!!!!!!!!!

First things first slick.. getting ahead of your "brilliant standards" aren't ya? What happened with the environmental factors? As we all were, Some of course are noobs as arragants appointed them. A simple question deserves an answer it requests. Not some grow king with the knowledge of a failed 3rd grade science teacher. Leave room for growth.
