Are you crazy? The packaging on that stuff makes it look like snake oil straight out of the 40s and 50's.
Read this link:

Then follow the link at the bottom of the page, and read the Myth section.
You'll learn some new things and have a few myths busted along the way.
Oh and regarding transplant shock from the post above me. Unless your rootball collapses during your transplant, you wont get any transplant shock. You should actually score the roots when you have circling roots so they branch out instead of continuing to circle. Does that cause stress? Nope. Ive actually ripped about 1-2 inches worth of roots off a plant when transplanting, and it didn't show any signs of trauma and it continued to grow just fine. Now the one that had a collapsed rootball..well it sulked for 5 days and started to grow again hehe.
Haven't used it myself (yet), but plan on buying some. Everyone that I've read about that used it, likes it a lot.

Lot's of growers use it and swear by it. I have read that it can cause problems in flowering so it should only be used in veg. It's definitely legit.

I ue it only after times i think i may have stressed the plant. Topping, aggresive pruning, etc. I have had the same bottle for the past 4 years and not even close to done. You can definitely overdo it so be carefull. That said, it is cheap and a good additive on occasions for your plant.

I have been going over old threads on this stuff myself and reading online, the general consensus appears to be it can be very helpful for stressed plants, transplanting and cloning.
I am going to just add a little in very small amounts, maybe a couple times a week in between my basic high percent nitrogen for veg, high percent phosphorus for flower routine. I am in soil, 33% potting mix, 33% worm casting, 33% perlite.

That is a good plan IF YOU INTEND TO KILL THEM
superthive is deadly, 1 drop per gallon for starting seedlings, for watering clones (once, first time) and for transplanting
IT IS NOT A FOOD, NUTE OR FERT

This is correct, i have previously made this exact same thread and it should only be used on seedlings or clones. DO NOT use in flower.

Riddlme what do you think of this stuff: http://www.dobbies.co.uk/acatalog/bayer-pbi608-baby-bio-original-plant-food.html
I used this on the crop u can see in my avatar and worked wonders. Used nothing else either. But a bottle of this for throughout the veg period and some decent bloom boosters?
Tell me what you think cos im thinking of using it again.

super thrive is an excellent additive. It must be used with care. I have 12 gallon reservoirs, and I only use about 3 drops each time I mix up a fresh batch of nutes. I did a side by side comparison, one plant with the super thrive, and one without. The plant with the super thrive did out grow the other one with out, in very noticeable increments. I've been using it ever since. Now, like the other folks one here said, only use it during VEG growth, never during flower. I prefer to use Epsom Salt as an additive during flowering, which works very well also.
