Question about super tea mix by The Guano Company

brandon. · Nov 25, 2012

I have some super tea mix by The Guano Company. My seedlings are about 4 days old and are coming up to their first real water since popping out of the soil. I have FoxFarms grow big and tiger bloom as well as the super tea mix.

Should I use the super tea in conjunction with the grow big? Should I skip the grow big for the first few weeks and just use the super tea mix?

Also should I use the tea each watering, since it says it won't burn or should I do every other watering like I do with the grow big?

In case it's pertinent the seedlings are autoflowering, Vision's white widow. The NPK of the super tea is .5 .5 1.

thanks in advance.

First off, if you are growing in soil (which I assume you are) you should use NOTHING for the first couple weeks of growth. That's what the cotyledons are for; they feed your plant while it develops a root system. Feeding before about week 2 is just asking to fry your seedlings.

I'm guessing the Super Tea is a high phosphorus "bloom tea". This should be used starting around the second or third week of flowering. Also, that Tiger Bloom is a STRONG chemical based nutrient. Using it in conjunction with your Super Tea may lead to burning.

EDIT: Didn't see that they were auto flowering, so infringe the 2-3 weeks into bloom comment. Still don't want to feed for a couple weeks.

Never understood the appeal of auto flowering strains... They are crossed with ruderalis, which has no medicinal value.

Thanks for the reply. I assumed looking at them NPK values that it would be for flowering as well but what I've read makes it seem like its for veg. Even on the bag it says "great for seedlings. Will not burn".

I ordered a few autoflower seeds to help dial in my new cab start to finish. The 6 week finish is nice because I get to run through the entire cycle quickly to give me an idea of how it's going to do on a larger scale. Sure ruderalis doesn't have medicinal value but the thc and cbd do, so it's not entirely useless. Not to me anyway
