There is no need for superthrive after the plant is done with the early vegetation cycle. By this time the root structure should be fine with out it.

Yes, fine without it. Also, it'd be best to have flushed the soil before inducing flowering -- Superthrive hinders flowering, it slows it down a lot. You wouldn't want to turn up with a plant that's flowering for more than fifteen weeks. Imagine trying to flower a pure Sativa and giving it all that SuperThrive without flushing.

never heard about it hindering anything but it's just not needed unless you are transplanting or have other stress related problems. it's definitely something not needed on a regular basis on otherwise healthy plants. besides, the shit's damn expensive!

It's not that expensive. And SuperThrive's sole purpose isn't just to relieve stress on a plant, it can even feminize a plant, insuring you have a female when it's time to flower. I've had up to five plants at a time that I germinated from seed with SuperThrive, even gave it to them during their feedings. I flushed the soil a week before I decided it would be time to flower. When it came time for each plant to show it's sex, all five were female.

50 bucks/quart is expensive to me...and seriously, don't you think if it really worked as a "feminizer" we all would be using it by now when planting seed? it's been around for decades and almost every grower i know uses it, but only for transplanting and other stress...

You don't need fifty bucks for a quart, dude. All you need is ten for a four ounce bottle --- one - two drop(s) treats a gallon in this business. Information, contrary to popular belief, travels slow due to one reason --- human error. Human error in that it's the individual that fails to realize it's potential, this information and any other information for that matter, as an option in their own daily lives. You can take this or leave it, it's your decision. I'm just posting my experiences with this product, and when used in moderation, has shown me it's worth the money I spent. Whether you believe it's an effective feminizing product or not isn't of any concern to me --- all I know is I've been blessed with nothing but females, save the few times I -didn't- use SuperThrive.

Wow, that's really interesting. I'm going to try it kush over. These seeds have already sprouted and have not opened the cotyledon yet. Hope I'm not too late. Thanks for the info. Out of ten seeds, I was blessed with 3 females.

Hope you don't burn the seedlings with that stuff. Good luck

Do you really think one drop to a gallon of water would burn the seedlings?

not really it should not but who does not add a little more. I still don't give seedlings anything but ph adjusted ro water with just a little calmag for the water. but that's just me.

I only use a drop per gallon. I gave my peyote cacti a bigger dose to see what it would do. They swell up nicely quick in two to three weeks then stoped growing for the last month and a half.

I limit to a drop or 2 and never hurt any seedlings, but I am very careful NOT to OVERDOSE...and I also notice a high% of fem's, so know there is no guaranteed product; and that includes Reverse that totally Feminize a plant that want's to be a male...But, I have a high % of fem's...
so I have a great seedbank or Superthrive helps???
I had to throw that in there. Sorry

On another note. you mentioned you were growing in soil and others mentioned flushing at transition...I would like to add; you should flush your plant monthly when growing in soil, to flush potentially toxic salt build-up...
With; 2 gallons of fresh ph'd water per gallon of medium...

On the use of Superthrive in flowering...I always felt that if it reduces stress, and stress causes 'hermies', then the application of 1/4 tsp per gallon in flowering to relieve stress is a good idea, but I could be wrong.
