Question
Hello, I bought your downloadable versions of your instructional DVDs, wich by the way are awesome, but I have a little doubt about the SuperThrive.

You use 3 or 4 drops of ST per gallon, but on the label of the product says "Extreme concentration" Drop-A-Gal. I assume that means "drop per gallon", so.

¿The ST you use is Extreme concentration or is normal concentration (if that exists at all)?

Thank you very much and keep up the good work.

Answer
Hi Yamil,

The dosage they indicate is for use with every time you water your plants.  The dosage we indicate is specifically for the purpose of propagation.  If you get the larger size of Superthrive, you will also find instructions for different dosages, depending on the application.  

Good growing!

Instead, we help growers by diagnosing a specific plant problem and offering solutions (i.e. Why is my sundew not producing dew?; Is now a good time to divide my Sarracenia?; Why are the traps turning black?; What's a good substitute for perlite?; Why didn't my seeds germinate?; Can you identify this carnivorous plant for me?)
