Terpenes: Growth Booster??

I recently added Terpenez (brand) to my feeding routine. I swear the plants are now growing at double their previous rates.

Does this make sense, or am I confused and crazy?

I havent noticed increased growth rate so much as increased resin production, THAT is certainly noticeable.

I bought the stuff precisely for terpene and resin production and was told by the vendor it also acts as systemic insect repellent. I've changed nothing else in my watering, feeding or lighting. Since adding the Terpenez the growth rates seem to be greatly increased. But referring back to my original post, I'm probably just confused or crazy.:)

ANYTIME you try a new product, it needs to be done on only half of the plants. Otherwise the brain can easily trick you into thinking the new product is doing X,Y,Z, meanwhile the plants are just very happy and doing their thing.

Systemic pesticides sound pretty scary if you smoke it...all natural could still mean hydrogen cyanide upon combustion..whats in it the site is pretty bleak on info?? ..

Imma have to do some research on the product sounds boss with the whole increase in terpene volume and resin production would be a bonus if it works well in true living organics

That's true and as crappy as I've been feeling lately it's a real possibility I'm imagining it. :)

I read about the product before buying and applying. It's safe or I wouldn't use it. I'll try to find the info and post a link.

This is eight days growth of the baby girls. Please note that I buried about two inches of the stems when I transplanted. Sorry the photos are taken at two different angles (I'm being lazy today) but I think you can still see the size difference. Please forgive the nutrient burn on a few leaves. That's a result of overfeeding, not from the Terpenez.

Terpenez represents a new class of horticultural products aimed at enhancing the aromatic experience associated with gardening. Many of the plants chosen for cultivation are selected based upon the value of their essential oils. With that knowledge, Terpenez has been purposefully formulated from all organic botanical extracts and is designed to assist the plant with processes associated with oil and resin production.

Terpenez is blended in house in California USA and is made from the finest botanical inputs currently available. Versatile in its application, Terpenez is recommended to be applied during flush as part of your standard 11-14 day flush regimen but can be applied at a diluted rate throughout your flowering cycle for advanced results.

As with all gardening products, results are variable and dependent upon a variety of conditions however the vast majority of users have experienced very favorable results that were not only more intense than they expected but far more pervasive than anyone could have hoped. If your goal is an overall increase in the intensity of the natural bouquet of your garden, Terpenez may be the answer. Terpenez can also be used exclusively during the flush cycle to aid in the removal of residual nutrient salts and enhance the scent profile of your garden.

Bottom line: it's an organic terpene enhancer. Boosts terpenoid profiles & increases overall aromatic effect.

Directions for use (be sure to shake thoroughly before mixing and applying):

Continuous Model: 5 - 10 ml per gallon throughout the flowering/fruiting cycle. Ideal pH Range: 5.8 - 6.4
Flush Model: 5 - 15 ml per gallon during flush. Ideal pH Range: 5.6 - 6.2
Pro Tip: To boost the overall effectiveness of Terpenez try feeding your favorite beneficial bacteria inoculants 2 days prior to your first application of Terpenez and again 10 days later.
Can be used with any nutrient program or fertilizer products
No animal by products, chemicals or strong odors.
No harmful chemical run-off or heavy metals.
Terpenez can be used up to the day of harvest and is encouraged for maximum results.
Terpenez is more effective when used in conjunction with a strong beneficial bacteria program as they will make the compounds more bioavailable.


Additional Product Information

It is important to understand how Terpenez works vs leading competitor products currently on the market.

Competitor products in this class work by augmenting (adding) raw materials to the front end of the gibberellic cycle in hopes to increase overall resin production. These products may be designed to stress the plant at the molecular level in an attempt to induce a stronger senescence (flowering) response. If a plant thinks it's dying or under attack it will often produce compounds including resin in response. In our professional opinion, this method is flawed as it would not be yield savvy to molecularly attack your plant during the bulking phase in hopes of greater resin production.

Terpenez, alternatively, uses bio-identical, organic, steam distilled plant extracts that the target plant identifies as its own. No undue stress, no heavy metals, no salts, just extracts and an organic wetting agent.

Plant extracts seem to be the active ingredient. Seems a lot like the Japanese plant extract booster called HB-101 which also works great. I've also seen happier plants when simply blending different essential oils (based on the HB-101 recipe) into the nutrient solution, which also helps with insect control.

Thanks for this info. My guess is that they are keeping the ingredients a secret because it would be very easy for customers to make there own.

Thanks I guess I could just try it on a few clones when I root some to see if it works with the tlo style I do blessings bruv

Hmmm... Feeding the GA cylce with raw material? Wouldn't make much sense but sounds plausible (good marketing potential).
Senescence on the other hand would be the 'ethylene cycle': The explanation given is reasonable cause usually, it's either yield or defence (e.g. terpenes).
What I struggle with is the term 'bio-identical' which refers to artificially synthesised molecules which simply have the same molecular structure than their natural counterparts. 'Steam distilled' is basically only used for essential oils (which also explains the need for an additional wetting agent). Even 'own' molecules can cause stress, like the volatile methyl salicylate.
Oh, BTW, does Terpenez smell like sports balms? Cause then, it could well contain methyl salicylate as active ingredient ;) .

Apart from that, thanks for sharing the info!

Thanks everyone for the input I did some personal research on the product and am confident I will be giving it a shot in my garden along with the og tea products to see side by side which performs better, blessings brothers!

What do you think of this part:
"In our professional opinion, this method is flawed as it would not be yield savvy to molecularly attack your plant during the bulking phase in hopes of greater resin production."

Agree or disagree?
