Making alfalfa tea, often known as seed tea, is a great and cheap way to give your plants something extra.

Alfalfa is known to be high in Triacontanol.
"You can read a lot about the alfalfa compound (auxin) Triacontanol which is found in alfalfa meal. What gets lost in the discussion is that the sprouting alfalfa’s production of this auxin is at its maximum meaning that go gently into that good night if you choose to sprout alfalfa seeds. Start with 1/2 the amount you would with most other seeds." -Clackamas Coots

Explanation on our blogs from Clackamas Coots:
"There are 2 major exceptions: alfalfa seeds and corn. You can read a lot about the alfalfa compound (auxin) Triacontanol which is found in alfalfa meal. What gets lost in the discussion is that the sprouting alfalfa’s production of this auxin is at its maximum meaning that go gently into that good night if you choose to sprout alfalfa seeds. Start with 1/2 the amount you would with most other seeds. I switch between alfalfa and corn seeds during the vegetative for the compounds I mentioned.

Great for SST
The 24 to 36 hour response that I received after the application of the sprouted alfalfa didn’t surprise me at all. Alfalfa contains Triacontinol , and is at its highest concentration post sprout. Next round I will be applying it through a foliar feed with potassium silicate thrown in the mix as well. I got into organics about 10 years ago,Simply Because it just made sense.
