superthrive ?

[SmokeyTheBear]

i stand by superthrive 100%. i use it for all seedlings and when transplanting. with superthrive i have noticed my seedlings get bigger faster than when i don't feed them with it. i don't know if the question was already answered but the ratio is 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of water. don't feed the plants too much with superthrive. they don't like that. i learned this last year. i feed them with it 3 times within the first 3 weeks of their lives and one more time when they're transplanted.

Try making an alfalfa tea with some horticultural B-1 which is about $3.00 per quart. That's the whole basis of Superthrive. Seriously.

Just a thought.

I'm pretty sure alfalfa doesn't contain 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid.

Toss in some kelp meal. We're almost there!

i'm lazy when it comes to certain things. i'd rather pay 10$ for a 8oz bottle and not worry about fucking anything up.

 

[Clackamas Coot]

That's certainly a valid approach, SmokeyTheBear

Anyone have any experience with the Super Plant Tonic by Blue Mountain Organics?

Supposed to be another organic alternative to Superthrive... no experience with it firsthand here.

dandelion leaves:

The leaves are more nutritious than anything you can buy. They're higher in beta-carotene than carrots. The iron and calcium content is phenomenal, greater than spinach. You also get vitamins B-1, B-2, B-5, B-6, B-12, C, E, P, and D, biotin, inositol, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, and zinc



can you use chemicals to super boost plants / to modify them to grow bigger / faster / stronger, yes yes yes but chemicals cannot ever replicate nature, and I think alot of us here are just fine without superthrive, I'm also fine letting nature work it's course without chemical additives. do I need a top of a plant as big as my head, not really.. people waste there time trying to make things "better" when nature works itself just fine without humans.
