No, superthrive is primarily a hormone and N supplement.
If you look at a bottle of fertilizer, on the front there is a set of 2 numbers such as '5-2-3' which would be Nitrogen, Phosphorous, and Potassium in that order.
Now turn the bottle over and there in the fine print is another list of chemicals, mostly metals. These are the micronutes. You need to have them there and listed.
Any 'complete' fertilizer, even sam's choice tomato food, has these, lol. But you are going to want one that is as good quality as you can afford, and even better, one that was designed for cannabis. Then it will tell you 'bloom' or 'grow' on the bottle. A 3-part nute also has a 'micro' so you add your own micronutes when you mix your feeding water.

ahhh stinkyattic helping me once again:thumbsup:
well im growing outside and replacing 1/3 of the original soil with Pro Mix, but due to a late start i was not able to add any organics to the soil (ex. blood and bone meal). Although i have been watering with superthrive and soon will begin watering with alaskan fish fertilizer 5-1-1
is there any specific bloom and grow fertilizer you would reccommend to me in my situation?
help is greatly appreciatated:rasta:

Yup!
Instead of blood and bone, which often attract varmints outside, try manures and guanos. The fish fert might attract animals too.
To apply organics to an existing grow, you can take a hand trowel and gently scratch the guano or dehydrated manure into the surface of the soil, and then water it in.
Go easy at first, until you know how much your plants can take, because you can't flush outdoors unless you are in pots, and even that is a royal pain in the ass.
Be careful not to overdo the superthrive. It is one drop per gallon and you can kill your plants with too much.
Outdoors, your plants will get a lot of their nutrition from the naturally occurring materials in the soil, as soon as the roots spread out and find it. You can also feed with a commercial liquid or granular fertilizer appropriate to the life stage of the plant. There are so many to choose from, but I really like Pure Blend Pro because it is very forgiving, and that is a good quality in a fert being used outdoors!

I'm not a big user of Earth Juice products, but I do like their 'Microblast' product ... good stuff, not expensive ... you will use it in addition to your regular ferts ... just follow the instructions on the label ... :thumbsup:
