it's not a fertilizer, it is a mixture of vitamins and hormones that clamis to be the best product on the market for trans/planting, cloning, revival, etc. it also claims to double a plants growth rate and yield. i have been using it for two years on my regular yard bushes with great results, but i think i'm going to give it a try with my, err...non-regular yard bushes. it is a little spendy at about 10.00 per 6oz. bottle but you use a drop at a time, so it lasts. has anyone used/heard of this product?

i use it or a similar product (check your nursery for a 'generic' version...much cheaper and works just as well) every time i transplant...whether from pot-pot or pot-ground. but unless your plants are stressed or having other probs i don't think ya need to use it on a regular basis...

yeah del...i've been doing fine without it...but, the claim to double yields and growth rates peaked my interest. although, i put little stock into a products claims or "garautees", i'm willing to try it if i think it has any chance to even come close to honoring its claims.

seems to me it's kinda like steroids for your plants...flushing should take care of any residuals.

SuperThrive works best on my Bonsai trees....try VF11 can't hurt the plant

yeah, i did it once too. added a large dose (i've added much more than directions call for without any probs) at least once/month...the ones that were getting the s.t. treatment did get a lot bigger but most of the extra growth was in the leaves, not the flowers. it caused a helluva lot more trimming and added a strange flavor...

good luck with your experiment

where the heck do you get this stuff at? i can't find superthrive or upstart or anything anywhere. maybe just cos it's november? i'm not ordering it online or anything... a bunch of places have powered rooting hormone, but that's not what i want.

its amazing stuff. i used to work in a grow shop and we sold buckets of the shit.
i dont trust any hormone that doesnt state all the ingredients though. theres too much dodgy shit out there, trade secrets be blowed.

its very strong so you only need a few drops, beware of overdosing it will stretch like a mad man if you overdo it
