Wow, nice about the lady bugs. At Home Depot they carry jugs of vitaman B in the garden area, this may help with root development if you can't afford any Super Thrive. It may help with those BB's, perhaps GK can give some input on if it would help in his opinion, because I know your on a budget and you don't want to be picking up things that you don't absolutly need. Well, keep up the work.
