Hello again everyone..... I just thought I should start a new thread to discuss what Super Plant Tonic is and what it is not.
.
First of all - it's a root inoculant, meant to deliver mycorrizhal fungi and other benefical bacteria to your root zone.
.
Second, it is a Tonic with loads of macro & micro nutes - often missing from most fertilizers. So, that's good - lots of good stuff in one bottle.
.
Third, it delivers these things in a highly soluble form, so results are quick. It works within days.
.
Those are all a plus in my book. I've been using the stuff now for several grows & I love it. I love that fact, it's made by a small company in small batches and most importantly - It's ALL ORGANIC....
.
Now - what SPT is not. It's not a fertilizer. The NPK in it is just there to feed the micro-beaties (aka-the good fungi & bacteria). The NPK numbers are too low to carry Mary in any part of the grow.
.
It's not a cure all for common mistakes - Overwatering & Overfertilizing. If you're doing those - nothing will help you. Mary's going to suffer.
.
It does not right all wrongs. Example: If your leaves are already showing Mg deficency. It will stop it, but not reverse the damage to your leaves that is already done. Nothing can do that, shy of the man upstairs.
.
Here is a list of it's ingredients - I just copied & pasted them:
Now, most people "do not want to tell", you their ingredients. Blue Mountain Organics wants you to know them and why they are used :
The Artesian Spring Water (provides an all natural, chlorine free base), Worm Castings (add soluable nitrogen & trace minerals), Mycorrhizal Fungi make the mix soluble & inoculate your plants roots, Unsulphured Molasses (feeds - these beneficial microorganisms, provides trace minerals, plus soluble nitrogen, phosphorus & potassium), Coral Calcium (adds 72 trace minerals - that's all of them), Humic Acid derived from (Hot Composted) Oak Leaves & Peat - adds natural chelates (ensuring smooth delivery of the trace minerals). All these good things are mixed, then oxygenated for (3) days under optimal conditions; in a special organic tea brewer. Which increases the feeding action of the beneficial microorganisms - which break down all these good things, into a highly soluble liquid. Easily absorbed by plants. Note: Mycorrhizal Fungi enhance your plants ability to absorb more nutrients, minerals & water - resulting in better vigor, growth & draught resistance. Just Google or Yahoo Search Mycorrhizal Fungi - You'll find page after page of information praising them.
So, there you have it. A company honest enough to tell you what's in it. A well thought out list of goodies. Mixed in proper ratios to balance out most problems. It is a good addition to any grow - It's not a Miracle in a Bottle.
.
If you have used it, chime in. Tell others if you like it, how you used it ...etc.. or if it's not your cup of tea...share also... Open discussion, makes for better threads.....
.
Keep it Real.... Organic....
P.S. - Before anyone asks - BMO sells it on Ebay.... Just put Super Plant Tonic in the Search Box & Hit Enter..... I found out about it from a friend, now you have too.... Peace & Love & Fat Buddage.....
