I thought superthrive was super hardcore top secret!

I don't see fifty ingredients. sad.


Wait....they both have potting mix in them? does that mean their special blend...or.......?

[King_of_orchid_growing:)]

I thought something was a bit off when they don't list their ingredients on the bottles.

One of the red flags for me with Superthrive was all the advertising on the package. It literally looks like a bottle on card with a bunch of writing on it that makes it look like something out of an infomercial (if this makes any sense).

The point being...

Why so much advertising?

I'll admit, I bought Superthive before, and I bought a bottle of K-L-N not too long ago.

At least Superthrive has some NAA in it.

Not sure what the vitamin B1 does for the plant. I gotta look that up.

I don't know...

I seriously think that someone needs to conduct a controlled experiment with these two products and see what's up.

Yeah, it kind of reminds me of the adds for X-ray glasses they used to hustle in the back of comic books

LMAO...that's exactly what I thought! I bought a bottle of the stuff, and that was the very first thing I noticed, with all the fonts, colors, and patterns.

I noticed that K-L-N is higher in heavy metals.

If I crush some Vit B tablets and mix it with some fertilizer wouln't it be the same thing at a fraction of the price?

[Izzie]

I believe Vitamin B1 is a type of rooting stimulant. Many garden centers sell whole gallons of Vitamin B1 solution for plants.

I would not suggest using crushed tablets though.
