I use it about twice a week, one drop per gallon (also when I remember), really helps w/rooting clones and transplanting! but i was about to use this throughout my entire grow....so does it prolong flowering, or make less dense buds or both? does nebody know why? j/w

Superthrive seems to say that using it constantly you should give your plant one drop per gallon and a one time use is a 1/4 tsp/gal. I find the old-timey ads comforting. Personally, I give about 3-4 drops per gallon when I don't give them nutes - which is every other watering.

The reason they tell you to use it every water is because if they didn't, everyone would only buy one bottle that would last forever= like mine is going to :mrgreen:

Marijuana isn't all that sensitive. Pretty hardy weed in fact. If us stoners can grow the thing in some of the crazy ways we do. Just sayin', lol.

superthrive is a pgr and should be used up to the 2 nd or 3 rd week of flower. and it does prolong flowering does not cause airy buds and promotes vigorous horizontal growth. if used alone one teaspoon is a perfect ratio to one gallon 15:1, if included in a nutrient regimen 5-10 drops 21:1. you can ripen with superthrive and grand finale alone at your last two weeks 7 drops and 6-8 teaspoons.:o

yea, i've read some things about it so i only use it for seedlings and clones and maybe once every other watering during veg and after transplants in veg. never use it in flower. there are some articles about how it has been shown to not be beneficial in plant growth (b-1 vitamins) but i have also seen some comparisons when using it as a foliar spray in veg that seem to show it has benefits in this manner. to each his own though.

I just put 4 drops in each of my 2x 2.8gal 25 site cloner machines. for some reason my 99.999% cloning rate went out the window this run. ALL 5 of the other strains grew roots are are now transplanted, but my gorilla glues will not grow roots. ive cloned 100+ glues in the past 10 months or so w/100% success, so im not sure WTF is going on here. I now have 17 glue clones in each cloner (17 from a mom plant, 17 cut from veg'd glues before flipping).

so we'll see if this ST helps. crossing fingers I hope it does as im out of ideas. I added a heater to one cloner, and a ultrasonic fogger for VPD (75* and 60% r/h) that runs 24/7.

It is NOT a P. G. R. If it were, it would be required by law to have an actual label listing %active ingredients(s), modes of action, signal word, inert ingredients, LD50 # etc.etc.
Since it IS outright quackery/snake oil, this product can make any claim the manufacturers want. The "old-timey ad" has sold far more bottles of this product than any actual result.
Part of my BS degree in Hort. was studying this garbage and it's reputed effects on a wide range of plants. I would dig up the spread sheets, scan and post it, but a long line of zeros isn't exactly entertaining to most and apparently unconvincing to many. Put in a drop, put in a gal., your results will be the same...nada. I'm tired of preaching this sermon.

SuperThrive is not a nutrient, they don't even claim to be! So, if that's why you're using it - you're wasting your time! SuperThrive is a "Tonic" to be used at "certain times". Shamegame nailed it in Post #6.

SuperThrive is cheap to buy and it doesn't really hurt anything - I think that's why so many un-informed people swear by it (even for the most in-appropriate reasons)!

What the hell is a P.G.R.?
