Using Super Thrive Properly

SuperThrive is popular among ornamental growers because it makes flowers last longer. It slows down the flowering process and that means longer flowering times for cannabis plants before they are ready for harvest.

If someone has a plant stress problem they can use SuperThrive while in flower BUT they want to use as little as possible as few times as possible or it will work against them more than they will like.
I’ve found using it at the first sign of flower after the flip and then once more after the stretch brings on a more vigorous flowering plant and good increase in final yield over the crops not treated. You don’t need much I use a drop/liter at first sign of flower and then a drop every 2 liters after stretch.

i have never used it as a rooting aid because i don't have space to clone but i am happy to hear reports of it being used raw with good results. i use it in my seed germing solution and have a nearly flawless germ rate. however every time i see a superthrive thread i always feel obliged to mention that it is HIGHLY acidic and ph should be monitered. and yes i have observed it doing fancy things to seedlings and young plants.
What’s your germ solution? Pretty please?

Hello again! Hope everyone is having a great day so far.. or a great night. Wherever your at.. hope your doing great. I know I am. ;)

Just trying to help the noobies with some nice informative information about how to use Superthrive properly, with your cannabis plants.


Superthrive is a very very potent additive. Some people think that its nothing more than a nutrient. Well, its more than that. Superthrive contains a whole line of complete micro nutrients and mirco vitamins (such as B1) which Cannabis plants love to absorb. ST also contains many of the micro-nutrients and micro-vitamins and trace elements.. that alot of today's nutrient brands don't have.

Superthrive should only be used during the veg cycles of the cannabis plants life. You shouldn't use it during flowering, or on a plant that has started to flower.

Superthrive also contains synthetic Auxins, NAA (1-naphthaleneacetic acid) which isn't good for foliar feeding at all. However, the roots LOVE the synthetic auxins.. which helps the plant develop more bigger and more robust root systems.. therefore.. we all know that the bigger the roots.. and the more roots a plant has.. the bigger; healthier; and healthier the plant will be. More bigger roots, also means bigger more robust buds by harvest time as well. Once again, use it foliar and your plant will stretch (or if you use too much of it) too much will create freaks, not fun best place for auxins are the roots (unless you're into stretchy plants).

Also, Superthrive should only be used once.. maybe twice.. per plant. Any more doses than that, per plant.. will lead to more problems than you want.

Lastly, Superthrive has a mix ratio.. that's the exact same as if you were mixing up a batch of Molasses and water. So once again, the general rule of thumb for mixing Superthrive, is 1tbspn per gallon of water. Stick to that, and only use it once.. twice at the MAX.. and your plants will be just fine. But again, its not something you use on a weekly/monthly basis. It's just a one time (maybe two time) thing.

Oh, and before I forget.. Superthrive is also well known.. for bringing sick plants.. back to life. So, if you ever have a plant that seems sick.. or seems like its not doing very well?? Mix up a 1tbspn per gallon of water.. and give it a watering.. and within two days.. that plant will be back to life in no time.. and it will look 200% better than it did before it received the ST/h20 mix. It will make the stems more robust and stronger; it will make the plants leafs bigger.. and just overall bring the plant back to life.. only it comes back 200% healthier than it ever was.

I hope I have cleared up some of the confusion about using Superthrive with your cannabis plants. If I helped just one person, than typing this up was worth it.

If you have any other questions about the subject, feel free to send me a msg here on the site.. and I'll get back with you ASAP.

Thanks for reading everyone.

Thx for the info very helpful from one pot bro to the next!
 
If you are any kind of grower and prepare soil or hydro, cloning techniques, correctly…simply put, shouldn’t need the stuff. Hate to beat up products in general, but lot of products you don’t need. For example you don’t need fulvic acid, micorhizae, or a whole lot of nutes, cal mag etc, if you simply add worm castings. It’s all in there already pretty much and mix it with something to loosen it all up. My plants are looking better than bought shit at the store.

I Def agree good genetics is key I believe. But yea Def dont need it. I think it's dangerous especially for noobies. I have killed few seedlings and clones with it because I was unclear on amount to give most time a few drops I put way to much a killed em. But how I look at it everthing is good if you make some mistakes just learn from them as I have hope everyone has a blessed day after 420 lol

Also seedlings have all the nutes they need in the shell I have found just give good environment and higher humidity and build and aero cloner for cheap I just pop them in clones I had success with seedlings as well no nutes at all I use clone x sometimes but really don't need. I have found so many good videos on YouTube exposing some of these nute companies some are really good and full of info just got to ween out the fuckboys lol

I’m not a fan of the stuff so far, used once in my dwc totes early in the lifecycle and these fogdog autos that normally get 5-6ft are a bit over 2ft at 30 days
