no ferts no bud, thrive is a good suppliment used on occassion

I swear by the stuff as a supplement to my regular ferts. I use it on ALL my plants- everything from orchids to roses to succulents to our beloved MJ.

One thing the guy at the grow shop always warns about is that "too much of the shit and your plants will go comatose!"

I drank a bottle of It once. Cured my erectile dysfunction. Seriously though I use it.

When used properly it works great.

It will reduce plant shock and is good to use before and after a transplant.
Also can be used during your seed soaking. It contains a vitamin known as B1 Thiamine which will help the seed to crack. Also has been reputed to increase female to male ratios. (I don't beleive it's been proven to increase females yet though.)

Nope... not yet... wait 1 or 2 weeks. They've barely begun their lives.

BTW: SuperTHRIVE is great... it trully is... but don't over do it, as it's over-dosing consequences are disastrous (or so I read).

First, I'd like to say I have experience with SuperThrive, and it does work. I find it boosts the root growth, a lot. Along side this it's helped with cloning, and does some pretty remarkable shit to aid stressing plants. Now, in regards to the quote. I do believe it does stimulate a higher probability, perhaps from germination [ or seedling ], of the plant becoming female. I had germinated five seeds back in '03 for another grow, all popped and grew. When it was time to induce the flowering cycle [ 12/12 ], all began showing white hairs in just under a week's span. I might also add that it'd be wise to discontinue use of SuperThrive before flowering --- that is, flush the soil to rid it of the crap. The reason I say this is because the auxins in SuperThrive hinder flowering...

SuperThrive

Ingredients: vitamin B1 - 0.09%; 1-naphthyl acetic acid (NAA) - 0.048%

Uses: Promotes root growth in cuttings; General root growth; And produces a predominance of female flowers. After saying this it should not be used in flowering as it will prolong flowering period if applied after the onset of flowering.
