Is Superthrive worth the money? Has anyone did a side by side comparison using and not using Superthrive? Does Superthrive increase yields and potency? Does it affect the taste?

I also use Superthrive for clones and for transplanting. I believe it contains B1 (?) which is supposed to help the roots and with transplant shock.

You don't use much, 1/4 teaspoon per gallon, and it's pretty cheap. :bigjoint:

So... no side by side test, but a happy customer.

I only use it to rootclones.
I use Aussietonic to transplant because it contains more vitamins than superthrive. Vitamax for flowering because it has mg and other minerals.
Superthrive is for revive

If someone should or should not use SuperThrive in flower will depend on what is most important to them. There is something of an urban legend that is says do not use for flowering plants on the SuperThrive bottle/package, but that is not said anywhere.

One of SuperThrive’s selling points for ornamental gardeners is flowers that last longer and grow larger. Something in the ‘mix’ makes the flowering process slower, it takes longer from the start of flowering until flowering is finished. In an ornamental that is a real plus, bigger flowers for longer. If someone wants 8 or 9 weeks making that timeframe longer is not always seen as a plus.

If you do not mind the extra time it will take for your crop to ‘mature’ you might very well like using SuperThrive in flower. While the buds mature slower they do grow larger, the growth rate is not slowed down, just the maturing of the ‘flower.’

If someone does this for a business and needs short flowering times and needs to be able to rely on them they should only use Super Thrive for vegging or in the case of a plant stress situation or seedling etc. The additional time needed for flowering will not be appreciated.

If someone only does this for themselves and a bit more time is not a big deal to them, especially if it means ‘more,’ then SuperThrive could be a good option for you from start to finish.

There was a comment about is it worth the price … well it might seem expensive but you literally use drops of the stuff at a time and a small bottle can last an average grower a fairly long time. When you realize that you have had the same bottle for ages and there is still a bunch left in it you figure out that it really does not cost much to use it, for average growers anyway.

I have used it from start to finish and sometimes just for vegging and sometimes just if some situation popped up where the plants could use something to help them deal with some sort of stress. I won’t say there is a best way or a right way or a wrong way to use Super Thrive because it is sort of a what works for you and not a what applies to everyone sort of thing. It is just a way to improve things to some degree that you can use the way that works best for you.

agree with bricktop but would like to point something very important out, if you use to much, like in your mind you think if one drop helps two will be better,,,,,it's not it will kill your plant very quickly, if your going to use it please believe what the bottle says and only use a drop

I did an experiment using 5 drops and plant died in less than 6 hours

Less than 6 hours? Sheesh powerful stuff. I've never used superthrive and have fellow growers that swear by it, I would have no reason to believe it wouldn't be worth the money. I manage to keep things in Tip Top shape without it so like bricktop says, it's really up to the individual grower. Just don't use too much.

So, what.. I should probably only put one drop into my water/nute mix that i use.. right?

The bottles are exactly .5litres or 1pt., 0.9FL.OZ.; one drop would be sufficient enough for that size bottle right?

(just need some reassurance.. that's why I'm asking)

or maybe.. try and go for.. like 1/2 a drop...?


Thanks to anyone in advance for any help... its greatly appreciated.

just saw the name of the post ... I figured i'd chime in . I usually only use superthrive for transplanting .. although ... i did use it in a few feedings .... and IMO it increased root mass .. didn't seem to do much for the plant really but It looked almost like my plant was rootbound and i only used it in a few feedings at 1/4 tspn per gallon. also let me note that it was used sparingly ... i didn't give them a deep watering with the mix .... it was just left over water from transplanting .. so it was only a small drink each time.

Bricktop .... you just made sense why my plant that is estimated at 8 weeks of flowering was done 6 and a half. REP my good man!

I have been using the stuff occasionally for years. Cant tell it helps or hurts. I always use 1/4 capful of the cap which came on it to one gallon of water. Never have tried it in flower other than as a foliar spray. Made a lot of bud so maybe it helped. In fact think I run mix up a batch here in a bit. Thanks for the tutorial.

Thanks for all the tips and information. I will buy Superthrive and use it when transplanting and for my seedlings. I will also try using while foliar feeding.

to each his own... but to my understanding .. B1 or superthrive is used for more of a root treatment than a foliar feed.

superthrive is the real deal. they even make landscaper/contractor size. a 50 gallon barrel. professional comercial gardeners and lanscapers use it by the gallon. it is the best source of b1 which is for real out there. also has some other goodies which make a ton of sense to add. other products out there are not near as nice. especially at a retail store level. just comparing b1 products out there and superthrive is the clear winner. many a reg lanscaper swears by it.
