One question,
Why don't you experiment using the tea mixes with coco coir instead of soil ?
Will the organic nutrients in soil yield benefit over using them in coco when it comes to taste and other factors that make organics more favorable than chemical nutes ?

I will make the edit on the 1st post this time,, as i have covered this in like page 8 or 9.

Throughout my AF experience, it has shown every time I used Super Thrive before sexing I would end up with on average 30% more males then when i didnt use it. That is why I only add it After Sexing to make sure I get all the females I can and then feed them the Super Thrive which the plants love. Makes them more healthy and production is the highest quality.

ICC :joint:

How many plants was this tested on? I am curious.

How many plants was this tested on? I am curious.

over the course of some AF SOGs a total of 360 plants. Which were 70% male. when I would get 35-40% males on average, when I didn't use SuperThrive until after sexing.

ya it could just be back luck but not with that many plants no way. there has to be something going on here. I just found this very exact thing about superthrive in a growbook.. I will update when i look at the book again.

We just want more backing on this sir. Try diff strains, diff genetics. There are alot of things that play in this role sir. Not superthrive. it is a addittive. Now why when u add other nutes it doesnt do it?

I have 2 Babies going right now as u see in my avatar. I am using superthrive right now. I have 3 -4 drops to a gallon of water. take a look. They are regular seeds I crossed myself.

Whats with calling me Sir?:eggnog: and i have nothing to prove to anyone it was just an observation in my garden. A warning if you will, I mean really do you want me to do chemical testing on the males to see if they where effected by the additives in SuperThrive, really bro you are asking for proof I can't give, and you know it.

This is proof enough for me to not use it and get the females i need for successful AF-SOG harvest using REG seed.

I had done a few AF-Sogs and would get 35-40% males from 120 seeds. Those never used SuperThrive at all.

then i started to use superthrive as it does help develope roots and reduces transplant shock after sexing transplant. 2 AF-SOGS done with 120 seeds each run. resulting in mostly males when I used superthrive from the start of growing.

more SOGS where done, but i had ran out of superthrive and said fuck it as i was trying to figure out why I was getting so shitty female numbers when I was getting MUCH better before. When I stopped using the Superthrive before sexing the results came back to the Original 35-40% male and has remained there. SuperThrive was the only variable that was taken out so it more then likely had been effecting them. So if you need more testing then that please by all means, sir. do it yourself and let us know your results.

Looks like this was notice by more then me, page 215 in Marijuana Growers Handbook Ed Rosenthal, that page shows experiments with SuperThrive that resulting in sexual effects. But it was only from a 120 plants, 60 used Superthrive, 60 was the control and didnt use at all. Turns out he has less males when used superthrive, but this is a very small test and not with AFs, so who really knows the truth.

My Organic TEA method is a guide take what you will from it, just here to help guys.
It is just a warning based on observations on the use of SuperThrive, BEFORE sexing AFs.

I appreciate your time and sharing with us Cricket!
If you have doubt then try it and observe for your self. Don't try to make someone feel like their time and energy has been wasted. That's what I do at least. Back to the ICE.

Quick question. I cannot find the Peace of Mind, Happy Frog or Black Gold products you recommend locally and I'd rather not order them. My local Hydro store carries other Peace of Mind products. What I'm wondering is if you think the Peace of Mind Japanese Maple fertilizer (4-8-5) would suffice? Thanks...newb here.

My local grow forum and club. laughed when they saw this.

There are alot of things that tend to this.

Superthrive? You mean the NON-organic plant food supplement containing unregistered pesticides which is prohibited to sell in several states because of it's ingredients, especially a "plant hormone" which does not occur in nature at all?

Ok, now I'm clear on this.

Yeah, does exactly what ICC says, and while you can use it on cannabis, I'd have to wonder why... unless you're cloning.

It works great on saplings, though.

Re-read what it is for and what it does. Then come back to me.

basically Superthrive is just a ROOT DEVELOPEMENT or SUPPLIMENT

It just ENDUCES ROOTS TO GROW :xmasnut::eggnog:

I am getting ready to feed mine again and I decided to go ahead and open up the Blk Gold stuff and use it this time round.

Once again the only thing I do not like about it is the different particles and how to get a even blend of them all.

what do you mean? and good going with the Black Gold ,, it is good shit. Just scoop it up bro and put it in the water.... You know what that just reminds me it is always best to
ADD WATER FIRST ,, shit i dont think I put that in the 1st post. it is best to Add water, turn on pump, and add food last stir it in. best way to not get lumps.

ICC. Mine are getting food in the next week ,, the next update will be very nice.
