Description
The terpene additive that made the category
Terpinator is the best known terpene production additive in hydroponics, now sold under Green Planet. Terpenes are the volatile compounds that carry aroma and flavour, and they are produced late, in parallel with resin, when the plant has spare capacity to make them.
Key Benefits
- Aimed squarely at aroma - the reason a crop is memorable rather than merely heavy
- Runs the whole of flower - unlike a PK, it is not a two-week product
- Very low EC contribution - will not upset a carefully balanced reservoir
- Any base feed - mineral or organic
- Pairs with Rezin - terpenes and resin are related but not the same thing
Weight without character
Chasing yield alone produces a crop that weighs well and disappoints. Terpene production is the first thing a stressed or over-fed plant abandons, so aroma is a reasonable proxy for whether the last month actually went well.
How to Use
- Whole of flower: 2 ml per litre at every feed from week one
- Late flower: continue at the same rate to the final flush
- With other additives: runs alongside a bulking additive without conflict
- EC: adjust the base feed to keep total EC on target
- Media: soil, coco and hydroponics
