Hiya Mr Green,
I use 2-3 drops per gallon/5ltrs.It's powerful stuff as it contains auxins which are plant hormones.I only use during the veg stage,never flowering.

Hey guys

Here the info on superthrive:


Superthrive is a simple mix of Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NNA) and vitamin B1. Plants make vitamin B1 themselves, but by giving them superthrive vitamin B1 can be put strait to use. This allows the plant to transfer the energy saved by not making B1 to more productive things.


Although superthrive is a great reviver, superthrive can also mess things up in medical plants in flowering stages. Superthrive's other ingredient is an auxin called Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NNA). Auxin regulate the plants in many ways, Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NNA) is a man made auxin to substitute the natural auxin indole-3-acetic acid (IAA). Adding Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NNA) into the flowering stages can prolong flowering times, and retard growth. Also adding too much superthrive in any stage of the plants life can retard stem and branch growth.


Although there is no date stated on the bottles, Naphthalene Acetic Acid (NNA) goes out of date in around 3 years in room temperature.


Add in the grow stages at 1ml per 10 litres of water. Excellent clone rooting booster aswell. Watch for strechy growth because this is signs ov over dosing.

i used suoerthrive on my first grow but haven't bothered yet with this one, i'm sure i read a thread of oldtimers that said they tested like so manny plants say 100 with superthrive and some without and the wasn't much diffrence i may use some tonight however my white russians hate been fed cann terra vegas don't mind the flores but even with a weak streght feed the top leaves always burn a little and the leaves go a funny texture with the vegas

as for superthrive i'm unsure cause alot of other things come into the size of plants and yeilds
mr_green01
thanks for the info guys,
looking at my leafs they r looking textured very dark green over fert i think
i done shit loads of draining through my rockwool this last week with water but they still look the same?
i am growing kush keeps my ph about 6.0ish
DrGreenUK
Hey Mr Green

Hmmm are you growing in rockwool? Because if you are your ph shoud start around 5.5 because rockwool is slightly alkiline. As for the overfeeding run loads of plain water through it and test the run off with a cf meter. If it comes out high carry on until you see it come down to around the same level as it went in. If this cannot be achieved then to the lowest you can. From then onwards make sure that your rockwool has a 15% run off to waste to prevent salts building up again.

Hope this has helped
mr_green01
thanks dr green iam growing in 4" cubes in ebb and flood ive not tested the run off il do that tomorrow when iam back with them

People! Superthrive is an excellent reviver! It will sort unwell plants out. It will also help rooting along and cuttings will benefit. But if your plants are healthy, dont expect much to happen. Unless you overdose
