Adding Tea Leaves to Cannabis Plants. An educational video

We break down the powerful benefits of tea leaves—from enriching the soil with organic compounds like cellulose and lignin, to delivering essential nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, and calcium that support vigorous plant growth. Learn how used tea leaves are effective in compost, as a top-dress amendment, in worm bins, or even brewed into a nutrient-rich compost tea.

Video Outline:

1. Why Tea Leaves Matter

2. Green Tea vs. Black Tea

Both come from the Camellia sinensis plant.
Green tea = lightly oxidized → lighter, delicate, nutrient-rich.
Black tea = fully oxidized → darker, bolder, rich in tannins and decomposable carbon.

3. Nutritional Benefits of Tea Leaves

Nitrogen: Drives leafy growth, photosynthesis.
Manganese: Activates enzymes for stress defense and lignin production.
Potassium: Regulates water loss and energy transport during bloom.
Calcium: Builds strong cell walls, aids root and shoot development.
Phosphorus: Supports ATP production and root signaling, even in small doses.
