SuperThrive® Plant Growth Enhancer

For super healthy plants and blooms, add to your nutrient solution at the rate of 1 drop per gallon. SUPERthrive contains 50 vitamins and hormones necessary for healthful plant growth, including Vitamin B-1. Best known and most widely used plant tonic on the market today, available since 1940. It works with both hydroponics and soil gardening. It is also excellent for helping young seedlings get a quick start on life, for reviving sickly plants and to minimize stress in plants. SUPERthrive can be used every time you water your plants. SUPERthrive is NOT fertilizer it’s especially helpful if that last fertilizer you bought doesn’t include micronutrients. Superthrive now includes kelp. We are proud to announce that our timeless formula is now enhanced with kelp, bringing contemporary you the benefits of contemporary research. 

Note that the signature color and odor have changed slightly. Growers will experience the same results as always ~ some will find increased benefits. The directions are the same as always.

Absolutely. You can apply the mix with a commercial sprayer or garden hose – using a hose-end or syphon-mixer proportioner. Make sure you spray on the underside where the leaf is most receptive.

When Hawaiian Bokashi™ Inoculant is added to a grow bed or outdoor garden, it introduces a diverse community of microorganisms to the soil. These microorganisms then interact with the plant’s root system, forming a symbiotic relationship.

The microbes in the inoculant provide multiple benefits, including breaking down organic matter, suppressing harmful pathogens, improving nutrient availability, and enhancing overall soil health. They contribute to the creation of a thriving and balanced ecosystem in which plants can flourish.

What Are Beneficial Indigenous Microorganisms And How Do They Create Healthy Productive Vegetables And Fruitful Trees?

Beneficial Indigenous Microorganisms (BIMs) are microorganisms that naturally occur in a specific region or ecosystem and have positive effects on soil health, plant growth, and overall agricultural productivity. These microorganisms can include various types of bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes, and yeasts. When utilized in agriculture, they can promote sustainable farming practices and contribute to the growth of healthy and productive vegetables and fruitful trees in the following ways:

1. Improved Soil Fertility: BIMs help enhance soil fertility by breaking down organic matter into nutrients that plants can readily absorb. They facilitate the decomposition of organic material, releasing essential elements like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, which are crucial for plant growth.
2. Nutrient Cycling: BIMs play a vital role in nutrient cycling. They help recycle nutrients in the soil, making them available to plants in a balanced and sustainable manner. This reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers and helps prevent nutrient depletion.
3. Disease Suppression: Some BIMs exhibit antagonistic properties against plant pathogens. They can suppress harmful fungi and bacteria, reducing the occurrence of plant diseases and enhancing crop health.
4. Increased Root Development: Certain BIMs form symbiotic relationships with plants, particularly through mycorrhizal associations. Mycorrhizal fungi attach to plant roots and extend the root system’s reach, increasing the plant’s ability to absorb water and nutrients from a larger area of the soil.
5. Enhanced Stress Tolerance: BIMs can improve a plant’s ability to withstand environmental stresses such as drought, extreme temperatures, and salinity. They do this by producing stress-resistance-inducing compounds and hormones that benefit plant growth and development.
6. Biodiversity Support: The use of BIMs promotes overall biodiversity in the soil ecosystem, which is essential for the long-term health and resilience of agricultural systems.

To harness the benefits of BIMs for healthy and productive vegetables and fruitful trees, farmers can adopt various practices, such as:

• Biofertilizers: Applying BIM-based biofertilizers to seedlings or directly to the soil provides a natural source of nutrients and enhances nutrient availability for plant uptake.
• Compost and Vermicompost: Incorporating BIMs into compost piles or vermicompost systems can accelerate the decomposition process and enrich the compost with beneficial microorganisms.
• Crop Rotation and Cover Crops: Employing crop rotation and cover crops can help maintain and promote BIM diversity in the soil, contributing to sustainable soil health and fertility.
• No-Till Farming: Reducing or eliminating tilling helps preserve soil structure and encourages the activity of beneficial soil microorganisms, including BIMs.
• Mulching: Mulching with organic materials can create a favorable environment for BIMs to thrive, as they feed on the decomposing organic matter.

It’s important to note that the selection of BIMs should be specific to the local environment and soil conditions. By fostering a balanced and thriving soil ecosystem with the help of beneficial indigenous microorganisms, farmers can cultivate healthier and more productive crops while reducing the reliance on synthetic inputs and minimizing the environmental impact of agriculture.

Yes. It is an ideal method. Just add Superthrive to your water or liquid fertilizer at the 3 ounces per 100 gallons ratio.

Yes. For tank systems with an attached proportioner, add Superthrive at the 3 ounces per 100 gallon ratio as needed. Follow the manufacturer’s directions to achieve the above ratio.

Yes. Just add the standard per-gallon dose (3 ounces per 100 gallons of water) each time you add new water to the system.

Yes-and we recommend combining both, Superthrive and additional fertilizer for ease of application. While you will use Superthrive more frequently, both can be applied at the same time in one easy application.

No. We recommend applying them on different days since the purpose of these products differ so greatly.

No. The initial Superthrive application is sufficient in all but the most arid climates. We recommend waiting at least 24 hours before new watering.

While some of our customers report overnight rejuvenation of sagging plants restored to their full beauty, most situations provide results in 10 to 14 days.

Daily, weekly, monthly, or even quarterly, depending on your needs.

Some growers use Superthrive year-round, while others use it only at the initial growth stages. Our studies show that it is effective throughout all growing and productive stages. We recommend finding a schedule that works for you.

On most plants, using too high a ratio of Superthrive to water will only result in a waste of money – and Superthrive. For tender-shooter plants and vines, excessive Superthrive could weaken stems. But don’t worry. If you over-applied Superthrive, flood the soil with water to dilute the solution.

No. Superthrive is intended to nurture via roots and leaves by drenching and foliar spraying.

Yes. As it is non-toxic, you can add it to koi ponds. Just remember that Superthrive doesn’t discriminate among plant life, so algae will also get a boost.

Yes. Over time, Superthrive will darken but remains consistently effective. This also means you may notice your brand new bottle of Superthrive is clearer than the months-old batch you just finished using. Cold does not affect Superthrive.

Store your Superthrive container out of direct sunlight, ideally in a cool dry place.

To get the best results, you should NOT pre-mix Superthrive. We recommend creating your mixture the same day you plan to use it.

While Superthrive is lab certified as non-damaging to the eyes, you should flush eyes immediately with clear water to remove the sting.

Don’t worry. Superthrive is lab certified as non-toxic, even in its undiluted form. Simply drink water to flush the taste and product from your pet/child/partner, who needs to pay more attention to what they are drinking.
