Neophyte's are welcome here!
I get a lot of freebie-schwag from the Emerald Cup every year. There are two things that might help you that I used last year that I found to be quite effective: Humboldt County's Own Killer Tea and OGTea's Veganic Special Sauce. I grow in soil outdoors and I added the Veganic Special Sauce with every watering over the first two weeks. I only had one small freebie packet and that's as far as it went. HCO gave me a a whole gallon jug of Killer Tea and that carried me through the rest of the season. The results were fabulous! I mean, my stash has an amazingly smooth flavor and the high is off the hook!

I wish I'd had more of the VSS because it literally does what the description says it does. About an hour after usage all of my leaves are pointing straight up at the sky and are just as perky as shit. Cannabinoid values were significantly higher than when I was brewing-up my own teas as well. I am not advertising anything. I just happened to catch your thread and wanted to share my experience. I was also handed samples of Boo's Brew(Malibu Compost), Dragonfly Earth Medicine's tea mixes and a couple other latest-greatest freebies. I was really impressed with what I saw of KT and VSS both so I kind of already know what I'm using this year.
