yes superthrive is organic and amazing but its is a hormone so in flowering I think you might want to stay away from it or hermaphrodites might pop up. happened to me.

Urban is right, ive heard stay away from superthrive in flowering or you will get leafy buds.. IDK about the hermie thing but sounds very possible

wow 1 or 2 drops is all you need for cloning., its strong. full feeds are less than a cap. it is a vitamin and more. im not sure if it has NAA in it as well like our brand does. but id also suggest a ppm of veg food along with that of about 150. this will help them eat as soon as roots appear so shouldnt go yellow on you.
as far as organic. there are naturaly occuring hormones a plant makes at this time and they have made their own copy. so its as organic as that is. ones like Giberellin, it is natural to plant but its man made in bottles....sythesised...orgainc based.

I've been using superthrive for years, the BEST vit b ever. I just use maybe 3 drops per gallon for all my young plants and through veg.
But like urban says, don't use during bloom. It may have side effects. But I use it for all other stages of growth, it's awsome for transplanting, helps keeping them from shock.

i cant answer whats in theirs but the Aussie Tonic is supposed to be the competition for it. i do know there is poven stuff that does work in the Aussie stuff. NAA is a rooting hormone, the b vit`s have been proven to help with stress from drought and heat and so on. most companies wont say all ingredients as others would steel the recipes.
also has B vitamins and amino acids, and activates the enzymes. not to be used first 2 weeks in bloom as we want to induce a bit of stress to promote faster flower sets. and the Aussie has less preservatives than any others, so you get more of what you paying for instead of fillers.....or water.,
500ml of it is only 20 bucks.

So four days ago I moistened and checked the bottom of the cubes and had no visible sign of roots. Kinda forgot about them for a few days. Moistened and checked the bottom today and five out of eight have roots popping!!! They were all kinda dry but still a little damp ,so I think maybe I was just keeping them a little too moist. Of the three that didnt make it... two were actually showing the tip of the cut stem on the bottom of the cube from being pushed too far in. I think this was the problem here. The other one just for some reason didn't even start to develop roots... So three dead out of eight for a noob cloner I think I did good....I actually probably will only grow one or two any way so I don't even need five....IDK....maybe start a mother??????????:joint::hump:

good deal.
nothing wrong with roots out the bottom. mine always do,. thats not to far in. if you dont scrape the sides of the stem before putting in there then they will come from bottom where it was cut.
and i do see alot keep em to wet. i didnt even need to mist mine at all till rooted. no foliar not wet the wools again.
