What is your issue with SuperThrive Zack66? I from my experience would actually have to say that I accredit SuperThrive for saving my plants lives... They were subjected to temps that reached as low as 50 and had to survive from just the surface heat of the soil created with CFL... All my plants were looking like a tomato plant at first frost but when I gave them a shot of SuperThrive and water was the only time they pushed through the cold temp nute lock outs and would actually still grow. I have read nothing but good about it cept large amounts would stain roots in a DWC (so I don't use it) and make it harder for me to detect root rot. I also read a person saying in flower not to use it because it can confuse the plant and possibly cause it to hermie? I haven't flowered so I do not know this and won't test it till I am further along and using clones to verify. I did however do a test, I literally floated a seed in superthrive for like 30 minutes instead of germinating it and when planted at the same time as the fully germinated seeds it has started to catch up. I however stand behind Miracle Grow Seed Starter I know MG isn't a fave brand here but the Seed Starter always beats my plugs and any other soil I have started seeds in with the largest first leaves of all my sprouts.
