What is Professor’s Nutrients Terpene Gold and what does it do?
Terpene Gold is a certified organic flowering additive designed to boost resin, trichome density, aroma, and flavour. It helps plants express stronger essential oil profiles for a louder, tastier, stickier finish—especially when your lighting and environment are dialled in.
When should I use Professor’s Nutrients Terpene Gold?
Start in early flower when you see the first proper signs of bud development. Increase the dose in mid-to-late flower when resin and oil production ramps up. It’s not designed for use in veg.
How much Terpene Gold should I use?
Use 2 mL per litre in early flower, and 4 mL per litre from mid to late flower. In a 10L mix, that’s 20–40 mL. Always mix thoroughly, monitor EC, and keep your overall feed program balanced for best results.
Can I use Terpene Gold in soil, coco, or hydro?
Yes—Terpene Gold is suitable for all growing mediums including soil, coco, and hydroponic systems. It works in both indoor and outdoor setups, including recirculating and drain-to-waste systems.
Is Professor’s Nutrients Terpene Gold organic, and what’s in it?
Yes—it’s certified organic. It’s made from seaweed, fish inputs, amino acids, sugars, humic/fulvic acids, and trace minerals. It has some nutrient value but is not a replacement for your base bloom feed.
What are terpenes and trichomes, and why does this focus on them?
Trichomes are tiny resin glands where terpenes and essential oils are produced. These compounds drive aroma, flavour, and overall quality. Terpene Gold supports the development of more—and better—trichomes for a stronger sensory profile.
Can I use Terpene Gold with other nutrients or boosters?
Yes, it works with most nutrient programs including Cal-Mag, enzymes, microbes, and bloom boosters. Just avoid overstacking too many additives at once and adjust your base nutrients if EC runs too high.
Will Terpene Gold affect pH or EC?
It can slightly raise EC and shift pH depending on your mix. Always add nutrients in the correct order and adjust pH at the end. Don’t mix concentrates together—add each product to water separately.
Can I use Terpene Gold in irrigation or recirculating systems?
Yes—Terpene Gold is commonly used in reservoirs and irrigation setups. Just keep the system clean and well-oxygenated, and maintain filters to avoid buildup over time.
Can I foliar spray Professor’s Nutrients Terpene Gold?
It’s meant for root-zone feeding. Foliar use isn’t recommended in bloom—especially late—due to risk of residue, spotting, or bud moisture issues.
How quickly will I notice results from Terpene Gold?
You’ll typically see enhanced aroma, stickier buds, and richer trichome coverage within a couple of weeks of consistent use. Many growers describe it as a “liquid gold” effect when paired with healthy plants and strong lighting.
What are the most common mistakes when using Terpene Gold?
Overloading your feed stack, ignoring EC/pH basics, or expecting it to fix a weak grow. Like any quality additive, it works best on plants that are already healthy and well cared for.
Do I still need to flush if I use Terpene Gold?
Yes—finishing clean is still key. Overfeeding late bloom can dull flavour. A proper finish gives the plant time to use up stored salts, helping preserve the aroma and taste Terpene Gold helps build.
How do I store Professor’s Nutrients Terpene Gold?
Store it sealed, cool, and out of direct sunlight. Don’t freeze it, and always shake well before use. It may have a natural smell due to organic ingredients—this is completely normal.
What sizes does Terpene Gold come in, and which should I buy?
Common sizes include 1L, 5L, 10L, and 20L. For small grows, 1L goes a long way. For larger systems or repeat cycles, 5L or more is usually more cost-effective.
