ok, i have one plant under 6 23 watt CFL's. its still small, click on the link in my sig and check its size. is it too small for superthrive? should i wait?

and the bottle says 1/4 teaspoon per gallon. i thought i read 2 teaspoons per gallon somewhere. let me know what you guys think.

thanks

honestly man I use it right from the get go when they are seedlings. So in my opinion and from previous experience it's good to use all the way threw. I also give mine a gentle mist at the stage with carbonated water.

what amount you use? 1/4 teaspoon per gallon or 2, or whatever?

I have used it for years. Best to stick to one drop a gallon unless your actively trying to prevent or stabilize shock, then it's 1/4 tsp per gallon. Do not use during the last half of the flowering cycle as the auxins will delay harvest... or at least thats what happened to me. It's cheap and the best thing in the world to prevent shock and plant stress, something to always have under the sink.

will do, thank you very much. i think the 2 tsp per gallon i read was with blooming nutes or molasses or something.

2 tsp is insane lol, thats what we call overkill... never use that much.

I used 1 drop per gallon as soon as the first true leaves showed, no problems.

Sorry I was gone for the day yesturday.. But like northerntights says don't over do it just like anything else. also don't forget that if your into foil spraying, superthrive I found worked the best for me.. let me know your results I'd be interested to know how it turnd out for you.. Spray with carbonated water at night and see the difference the next morning..
