I used them to raise the cloth pots off the table. They were bought years ago, never used, as painting accessories to raise an object off the surface for painting/drying.
The babies were small when I put them in those one gallon containers and the soil was moist so I placed them on those to circulate air underneath to help dry them out.
I dunno if it helped…just one of those random thoughts you have after a few bongs
it’s been a week…the girls are in 5 gallon smart pots, the soil is Fox Farm Ocean Forest.
taking the plants from the 1 gallon smart pots wasn’t the easiest. I’m used to the root ball sliding out of plastic pots in a tapered shape. The cloth cylindrical smart pots didn’t let that happen, they had to be teased out.
I gave them an oscillating fan, too.
that was a couple of days ago
Whys that if it helps I’ve heard of it but never used it ?
I topped mine at fifth set of true leaves and again two weeks later but I veg for extra 2 weeks so they have recover time before I flipped to 12/12
I bought a small bottle a year ago, it’s almost gone, it’s concentrated stuff.
It gets mentioned occasionally, helping avoid transplant shock and as a root growth stimulant
from their web site…
“SUPERthrive® is a highly concentrated non-toxic vitamin solution invigorating all variety of greenery for home gardeners and professionals alike. It is equally suited for hydro-seeding, hydroponics, and foliar spraying.
SUPERthrive® maximizes potential by quickly building a strong root base and reducing transplant shock. SUPERthrive® replenishes the soil to nourish and encourage the natural building blocks that plants make themselves under optimum conditions.
Since 1939, SUPERthrive® remains a primary gardening and grower’s tool to promote chemical balance, increase crop yield, secure landscaping, and safely transplant trees of any size.”
i’m a believer,i transplanted all of my autos way to many times i think. i used this stuff and had absolutely no problems at all…i would like to also say that when i transplant i do not let the roots stay exposed long,no pics that kinda stuff…lol
just get her swapped over fill in and water with superthrive!!
if you are looking at growing blueberry it will not disappoint @bob31 now that i’m getting some sugar on my buds,when i touch them it smells exactly like bb… good for indoor also no powerful weed/skunk smell…
It’s getting old and every time I would open it, there would be a crusty residue…some would fall into the bottle so by now I’m losing faith in it’s real concentration.
I’ll use it for the vegetable garden but not for my girls.
Oh ok hahahaha you ment the bottle you own I thought you meant the product itself bro
Sorry my bad @kabongster
Thanks for explaining it for us slow folk lol
hmmm, when I typed that…I had finished shovelling the snow that had fallen yesterday and overnight and I was medicated, pain pills and smoke…clarity was not my strong point
my babies were ignored for about 5 days after I transplanted them into the 5 gallon pots and the temp dropped into the mid 60’sF in the tent. They slowed growing until I dug out my little friend
Edit…I only watered the right plant, it’s a little bigger and it’s pot was light and dry…it also has a more intense purpling of the stems. The left plant’s pot still had weight to it, I’ll check again tomorrow. The smaller also has less of a purple color on it’s stems I’ll give it less Cal Mag.
everything is looking good, watering the larger one on the right today, Cal Mag 4 ml/gal (just under max recommended dose), .6ml/gal Mammoth P (rec. dose), the other pot still feels heavy…
I am waiting for my other two to finish (starting 36 hours of darkness today!!) then I’ll wash that tent down and put theses girls in there for flowering.
a few weeks later, I’ll visit @Paranorman’s post for some hints on getting some clones going, then @hillcrest21678 for his monster cropping then a scrog…that’s the plan at least.
