Its bad enough most additives make false claims, the least a responsible forum user could do is keep the product claims straight.

I just corrected a claim of sm90 as a root accelerator, and a claim of superthrive as a ph down.


The misinformation is bad enough in the rest of the forums, but it is at an EXTREME in this subforum.
You have been warned!


PLEASE if you're going to post a products claim, make sure you are posting the correct claim.

Really sm90 as a root acclerator?

Wetting agent and sulphur foliar spray for sure, did they say how it accelerated root growth?

From the Nutrilife (makers of SM90) web site:

Purpose:
Encourages new root growth.

How it Works:
When added in small quantities directly to plant nutrient solutions, new root growth emerges.
Treated plants develop greater root area, root runs and exhibit generally healthier root development.

Depends how you take this information and the context in which it was given

Superthrive WILL lower the PH level in your reservoir. I run 100 gallon rez s and use superthrive in veg, when added it usually puts PH down 1 point.

Obviously its a ridiculous idea to use it as a permanent solution to adjust your PH, however, after reading the original thread you "corrected", the fact that it lowers PH was listed as an additional note/point of information to using superthrive, Which is correct!!!!!

Not trying to be an ass but thats my experience with superthrive bro ))

As i just posted,(and my opinion is up for debate) but i thought sm90 inhibits pathogens, this would/could help root growth, but IMO inhibiting pathogens shouldnt be classified as 'promoting growth' (hormones could be).

Personally i was wrong, if nutrilife (or whatever) is claiming that, then it was a bad example of users pulling claims out their asses.

BUT IT WAS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THE COMPANIES FEEDING US BULLSHIT
taking too many liberties in my opinion

Yeah

I totally understand your point of view, and it needed pointing out to people. i just read a thread where someone recommended topmaxx as a pk substitute to someone

haha

Your right in what your sayin tho, lots of new people take what they read here as gospel, and a few misinformed words can ruin a good grow for some unlucky person ))))))

From Kelly Zastowny, owner of Nutrilife:
SM-90 was never intended for using in the reservoir but it has turned out to be quite a savior for many problems.
It was originally designed for "S"pider "M"ites on roses, in 19"90", hence the name.

SM90 acts as a wetting agent which promotes root growth.
In addition to spider mite eradication and prevention, it also prevents powder mildew when used as a foliar spray.
