take it for what you want, but his buds are amazing and I trust his advice. just passing on what I've learned. you want to be a jerk about it that's fine, don't take my advice and go waste your money on b-1 in a fancy bottle.So now we gauge the contents of nutes by smell? I need to find something that smells like roots excellerator
Jesus dude, got thin skin?> Passing along what you learned? That B1 smells like superthrive? Or that your buddy uses "b-1". Superthrive is essentially B1 yes, but that's not the only thing in there. What KIND of B1 is your buddy using? Oh, yeah, the gallon of B-1... thanks for all the specifics.take it for what you want, but his buds are amazing and I trust his advice. just passing on what I've learned. you want to be a jerk about it that's fine, don't take my advice and go waste your money on b-1 in a fancy bottle.
At least you didn't add to the senseless banter. LMAOi hate when i get to an end of a thread and boom... it turns into a pile of doo doo with senseless banter. its like, having a great day then stepping in some yellow mustard dog poop..
I would only use Superthrive when transplanting at a rate of no more than 10 drops/gallon. Hormones scare me as they mess with the plant's internal hormonal processes. Some pretty weird things can happen.Recently I had done a bit of reading about hormones for a series of experiments I'm conducting myself.. What I gather from the reading I've done leads me to believe that "B vitamins" can be beneficial to yield/overall biomass in very low quantity's (like 5ppm). By beneficial I simply mean to offer any/some improvement. With what I'm doing, every little bit helps..
I'm under the impression that Superthrive is the most concentrated B vitiation around, Though not sure of its concentration I have read more than once that it only takes 1 drop per gallon, and I'm inclined to believe it (may even take less) and there are over 20,000 drops in a quart!! Seems to me once you break it down its pretty cheap stuff even if only the slightest benefits are to be had.
hey uncle ben i know its a old thread but i have some questions based on your 'rocket fuel recipee' for transplanting.its my first grow and am growing in outdoor soil.My method of transplanting in native soil which applies to pots too is to make up a couple of gallons drench containing Superthrive, MycoApply and then after transplanting rake in about a TBSP of a 10 mo., slow release fertilizer into the top of the soil. I drop about 20 transplants into a wide, short bucket that contains an inch of so of this rocket fuel and then plant. Don't know what you use to dig your holes but you can't beat a heavy duty garden auger mounted into a cordless drill.

I learn over time and change my drills. Found out from horticultural experts that Superthrive's only benefit is from the synthetic auxin. Pros at workshops I've attended say it has no merit. Here's a read on it -hey uncle ben i know its a old thread but i have some questions based on your 'rocket fuel recipee' for transplanting.its my first grow and am growing in outdoor soil.
1.does superthrive & mycoapply drench once to the soil after transplanting?
2.is it necessary after to use mycoapply throughout the grow?
3.what do you mean when you say you 'rake in about a tbsp of a 10 mo slow release fertilizer into the top soil
4.can i use jack classic 10-30-20 with your recipee,whats a good slow release fertilizer??
Beats the hell outta me. I'd say you've got enough for years.....My question is this: The dry mix calls for 1/2tsp of each product per gallon of water. How many applications am i going to get out of this firt like a billion?

appreciate the comments here is my shedule line up for my outdoor project i need some suggestions as well as your inputs(am in good native soil with worms)I learn over time and change my drills.

Myco fungi has no merit for plants grown in pots. It can be beneficial in native soils that have been disturbed due to tilling, etc. You only need to drench your backfill once or just drench the soil in the pot before popping it out.
Against popular forum thought and misguided paradigms, I am using a high N food from start to finish with excellent results. That drill has been confirmed by Homebrewer who did a detailed study with clones. The plants that got a 9-3-6 from start to finish were in the best of shape and yielded 10% more than those receiving a balanced food. Watch that 10-30-20. Great food, but if you see some yellowing or premature leaf drop, go to a balanced food with more N. There are more gardens and yields lost in cannabis forums due to the use of bloom foods. See my Tweaks thread. Cannabis is a tropical foliage plant that likes quite a bit of N. Treat it a such. It is not a mango which requires a lot of K.
The way I grow outdoors saves me a lot of time and produces great results. I upcan to a final 3 or 5 gallon pot that has 5 large drainholes, black commercial type. Once established in that pot I dig a 3" deep hole in the ground, drop the pot in with the drainholes unplugged, pack the soil around the bottom of the pot and go about my biz. The roots will benefit from the kickstart of the potting soil, then grow out into native soil and reap the benefits of the water and plant food that runs through the pot as you water.
I use a 12 month slow release 18-4-9 encapsulated food, about 1 - 2 tsp. and lightly work it into the top 1/2" of potting soil. No need for anymore food....easy peasy. Slow release foods can be found under many names, I use Polyon. Others are Dynamite, Osmocote, Nutricote.

I just have no way to judge is all, ive not used a dry fert other then Scotts 4 step lol. With 1 quart of liquid at an average of 2tsp an application gets you about 96 applications on average. If i feed with every water and water 2 to 3 times a week we are looking at 32 weeks of application. 2 and a half grows or so? I know you grow much bigger plants, outdoors, but you have experience with these jrpeters dry ferts so i thought you might have an idea as to how many applications/lb of product.Beats the hell outta me. I'd say you've got enough for years.....
Depends on what the nutritional value of your native soil is. Most soils are low in N. Jack's 20-20-20 would be fine from start to finish. It has PLENTY of P and K to support good flowering.thanks for the reply,whats a good formula/recipee for transplanting in native soil?
