SuperThrive!

I often see ads on the back on a popular tree care industry magazine for this product. Does anyone know anything about it? The claims in the ad seem a little silly. It reminds me of the goofy ads for DIY jet packs in old comic books.

the advertising is retarded. its a B-1 based product, I have used it on cuttings and transplants and they have come through well, and the local indoor grass growers seem to really like.

I have used it on roses and bare root transplants, seems to work best when added to a soil injected liquid fertilizer such as PHC for trees. On it's own I have trouble beleiving their clams of zero loss.

I used it when growing on bedding transplants, I reckon it gave me a bigger, sturdier product.
Used it on petunias, lobelia, pansies etc. Tear the label off and squirt a few drops in the feeding mix!

Never tried it, the snake oil type advertising is a big turn off I think.

The ad must be to catch the eye of growers, the term grower has a different meaning here. BCs biggest export, indoor hydroponic, the best from what I hear. If people are using it for a product worth around $2k a pound, it must work, no one would risk thier crop to snake oil. Never used it, that stuff will make you kill your family with an axe, I learned this from the movie Reefer Madness.
