You probably used way too much superthrive, it doesn't take much and as the bottle says, it is not a primary fertilizer and should not be used as such but rather as a supplement to your overall feeding program. A few drops per gallon of water is plenty when using on soil grown plants and I suspect that a couple drops in your nutrient solution is not going to be noticed in the end product.
