Its bad stuff dont use it!
j/k do a search its been covered plenty of times. Its great stuff to use during Veg, but loose it during flower or it may dwarf the buds.

use it..
use it for everything..
seedlings, unrooted cuttings, clones, veging plants, flowering plants..
b vitamins will NOT stunt growth during bloom. that is totally assanine and displays a misunderstanding of the needs of a cannabis plant... or any fruiting/flowering plants for that matter.

You will get many differing opinions based on any number of things when you ask if SuperThrive is good or bad. Some people swear it is the greatest thing since sliced bread and some think it is the worst product ever made and virtually any opinion that you could possibly conceive of that would fit between those is held by someone when it comes to SuperThrive.
　
I use it and I believe it works/helps. I have no way to rate it or some scale to use to represent how much I think it helps but what I observed after I began using SuperThrive was clearly enough to be able to know that there had obviously been some type and amount of improvement.
　
Unless someone has a ton of plants or uses it in a large reservoir where they would change the liquid somewhat often and would have to add somewhat larger amounts if you follow the every watering mixture ratio of "one to a few drops" per gallon of water even a small bottle will go a rather long way so it is not like it is an expensive product to use.

I have read that claim before and even read claims where it even says on the SuperThrive bottle to not us it during flower.
　
The only thing it says on either a SuperThrive bottle of the piece of cardboard with instructions on it the SuperThrive comes attached to is; "Flowering .. and to get MORE FLOWERS, LONGER and MORE BEAUTIFUL." (Capitals as in their instructions.)
　
I use it from day one to flush and sometimes right up until harvest and I have never seen anything I could or would call smaller or "dwarf" buds because of it and if anything saw an increase in average bud-size after I began using it.
　
But thats just me.

I have found about A 50/50 opinion on using superthrive during flowering. I found people that did comparisons with superthrive and clones and they said that it grew bigger buds without superthrive during flower. I don't know who to believe so its simple to just leave it out during flower. I have grown without superthrive from seed before and had good results as well. I have 4 perfectly equal clones I just started so maybe I will try my own comparisons and let you know how it goes.

I use it 100% of the time during vegging/cloning and about 75% of the time during flowering. I've noticed nothing but positive effects from it.

I use it in almost every watering from start to finish and have noticed nothing but positive effects from it. i do only use a few drops per gallon because i use it everytime, but sometimes when it's just water or a flush i use a teaspoon and have never seen negative effects from it. I also use it on my outdoor vegetable garden and i've only seen positive effects! my 2 cents

I'm growing with coco. The thing with coco is that there are no nutes in it, which means that by week 2, the seedlings look yellow and very unhealthy. I'm wondering if Superthrive would help with that?
In other words: Is there Nitrogen in Superthrive?

there are no nutes in there. and you can totally use it on seedlings. i have it mixed in with the water that i spray on my clones. it is the only thing besides acid that i soak my rockwool in before i clone.
you made a wise choice in your purchase.

you should be using a normal nutrient by one to two weeks in any soil-less medium. superthrive is great to add, but you also need your base nutes airwave

Can you give me an example of these base nutes? This is the first I've heard of it, and I've done a shit load of research.

basic nutrients? i use the brand advanced nutrients. the products are called sensigrow, and sensibloom. i highly recommend them as your base. there are many other brands though.
