Use it weekly really, or as a foliar. Super diluted in both ways...Think of it as a treat.

superthrive supposedly helps blooms last longer on regular flowers, so the thinking is it extends flowering time (ripening) in cannabis, which most of us would like to avoid. i have quit using it entirely except for making a solution to germ seeds, and i have had 99% germ success ever since. it's acidic and gave me some ph issues so that's why i quit using it during veg, but if i had more space and plants to work with i would experiment with it more. definately keep it on the lower end of the dose and keep an eye on your ph.

I use it from clone to finish.I put a drop per gallon in my clone machine, and I add a drop per gallone to every res change. Don't be afraid, just don't over do it. Pesonally, I do not use it as a foliar, but that a personal choice.

I have been instructed to use superthrive, because I believe my plants need a boost for their roots. Also I believe I have "nute burned"? (added to much nute) how to correct this prob. I know to back off on the nutes.... but I have heard to use like a final flush or just plain water, for a period of time till I go back to feeding them.
Quick Question if I may?.. :- I am running a 31L Res.. (DWC) ... What is the "RIU RECOMMENDED dosage ??" +REP! for best answers !!
Oh...I'am using 7.5ml Superthrive per 31L at the moment..and only add it if the plant/s look slightly droopy/un-happy ..as a kinda pick me up
..If anyone uses it in a more beneficial way I am all ears and open to suggestion .. - ZTELTHY

Sparingly. I only use it during times of stress. After trims, transplants, things like that.

Lololol. I transplanted some plants, poured a cap full of Superthrive in a gallon of water, and used it to feed my plants after transplanting.
Now I'm not saying you should do that, but that's just what I did.
This is my current grow, check it out: CFLs Week 2/3 (2 - 22" 6500k and 8500k light bulbs)

On the internet it says use it all the time. Everything on the internet is true, right?

I use it only when i plan on inducing stress, or after stressing the plant. Transplanting, pruning, Supercropping, fimming..you get it. i use it as directed 1/4 tsp per gal. i dont foliar feed with it as i heard its contains somthing bad for foliar feed( axioms or something), i dont know if this is true but i kept it out of my routine. and as far as a differance i cant say either way cause im on my first real grow and have used it through out, but i can say that when i transplanted, and FIMMED my girls show no signs of stress and normal vigorous growth resumes withing 24-48 hours consistently. Also im planning on giving them one more treatment and cutting it out when i switch to flowering, as it will lengthen the flowering time, but i may continue to give it to one to see if its true and how significantly it extends flowering. Possibly give the buds a chance to pack on a few extra inchs, I dunno but we will see. Check my Grow Journal to see what im working on.

Wow there is a LOT of info going all over the place when people ask about this stuff. some claim never use it during flower, or as a foilar. some say u can use up to 1/2 tbls per gallon, others have said as low as a 1/4 tsp per gallon. some say only to root clones and early veg, others use all thru flower until flush.
I almsot spent the $10 at home depot to get the stuff but im afraid of all the mis matched info on how to use it
