This is my first time growing and i was given superthrive by a friend to put on my plants. Ive heard that superthrive isnot good for plants in the flowering stage. Is it true that it stunts the flowering process?

I dont think an occasional shot of the stuff could hurt them any. Whether it helps just not sure. I am running a little experiment now to see if a few drops of the stuff combined with a real diluted mixture of compost tea in a quart jug applied as a foliar spray during the bloom phase will help anything. I will report back on the results in a couple of months. I been doing it daily but it mighty hot down here so I think its a good plan. Make sure all your foliar sprays are below 75 degrees or the plant can't absorb the moisture or the nutes. Heard that on a garden show the other day as concerning other garden crops. Sounded plausible to me that it would also apply to wacky tobaccy. Just wonder about the roots. I been cooling down all the liquids just to be on the safe side.

Used it from seed germ water up till harvest day... seems to work for me. And Big wheel I wouldn't suggest spraying anything on your plants during the bloom phase, ESPECIALLY in hotter temps. Your just asking for a Fungus/Mold problem. And technically Stomata open and transpire more in hotter temps, therefore using more nutrients and water. Therefore I don't think it matters much at what temps the spray or water you put on has on the plant, and you would probably do more damage by way of shock to the plant by spraying something cooler than the room. It may result in phytotoxicity. Just my humble opinion.....

okay and why would vitamins and minerals be bad for flowering?

It also has hormones in it, tends to prolong the flowering. IMO it doesn't hurt the flowering process only makes the plant take longer to finish flowering. Good in garden plants, I personally don't know it adds yields. I have used it for 40 years with great success. Good Luck

No no no... my friend!! You don't spray the plant itself with the superthrive.. its not a foliar feeding nutrient.

It's made as an additive.. or supplement. Not to be used on the leafs or plant.. but made to be mixed with water.

anyhow, good luck man. :|

peace.
