Since this product is organic, my plants shouldn't get nutrient burn if I wanted to use them with a super soil?

Yes you can absolutely get nute burn from this product although I don't think it's as easy to burn them with this product as it is with a full synthetic. Also, this line isn't certified organic. I'm not 100% sure what that means but I've been told this line isn't officially organic but that everything comes from natural sources. You'd have to ask someone else for details on that. That being said, I love this line of nutrients and fully reccomend using it. I use straight tap water after letting it sit out for 24 hours to remove the chlorine and there is no need to adjust the PH of your water. This is an all around great line of nutrients. Happy growing!

I researched on line... I added it to my garden beds in the spring before I transplanted my veggies... what a difference it makes! I also added organic fertilizer... but my plants and veggies are huge and taste awesome... I will add every spring! check out on you tube john kohler growing your green.com also he is the expert of experts! I did not mix this in water... added to the soil dry...

This product is pointless with any non organic fertilizer! The main purpose of Rock Dust" is for a place microbes to attach, to help break down the soil and give plants more nutrients or specific things. If you are growing with non organic fertilizers this really is a waste of your money do to the fact that they kill most if not all of your microbes..

I don't think it would be necessary but if it is a mild mix, you "can". Myself, I'm not a fan of chemical fertilizers, at ALL... ever.

Actually, they work together. Humic acid allows for greater uptake of nutrients, particularly nitrogen, but it in of itself is not a fertilizer. It makes whatever fertilizer you use more effective. And it's organic

I did, but cut back on other organic "additives". Not counting compost in there, just ANY thing that came out of a container. And of course you always have to watch your NPK.

I would not recommended for because of the chemicals used in the product. These chemicals might be absorb by the soil and thus the roots. Paris Lamps Team

As I understand it, thats not good practice, especially on seedlings of any kind. You can burn the roots and damage your plant if you start fertilizing too early. I believe 2 weeks or so is sufficient to start low doses of fertilizer slowly building. (thats my anecdotal evidence). You wouldn't want to use big bloom until further in (as it reads on the bottle). If you have any questions like this, you can also call your local extension office, which specializes in growing plants. If you have any other questions, I will do my best to answer. Hope this helps!

Organically grown plants rely on beneficial microorganisms living in the soil to break down nutrients and thus feed the root systems (symbiotic relationship). Feeding this to organic plants may jeopardize your micro-herd and force you to rely on chemical fertilizers until you flush the salts from your soil and restore the soil back to its living, healthy state (using compost, compost tea, EWC, mycorrhizal fungi, etc). I'd highly suggest doing some reading on true organic growing; you'll never look back, if you do it right.

it depends on what you're feeding, and the stage of growth. fox farms has excellent directions and charts to manage nutrients. if you're growing herbs hydroponically, then you can add this to your nutrient solution at basically any stage. it's mild, but a powerful dose of micronutrients and sweeteners. the bigger the plant, the more it will take. however, in a undeveloped root system, you can build pockets in the soil. these can be problematic, and flushing is your only viable solution to this. you would have to really over-do it for this to happen. I apply it every other feeding, with the nutrient solution, in ph adjusted water. hope this helps. east side dave says, "what what!! face!" it depends on what you're feeding, and the stage of growth. fox farms has excellent directions and charts to manage nutrients. if you're growing herbs hydroponically, then you can add this to your nutrient solution at basically any stage. it's mild, but a powerful dose of micronutrients and sweeteners. the bigger the plant, the more it will take. however, in a undeveloped root system, you can build pockets in the soil. these can be problematic, and flushing is your only viable solution to this. you would have to really over-do it for this to happen.

There's nothing in this that can burn your plants. You can use it in any growing situation. In fancier hydro grows that utilize drip emitters or sprayers, this could cause build up over time. As for soil, it would take a lot to overdo it. I don't think there would be much benefit, though. This is made to mimic what is in soil for a hydro grow. If you're using soil, especially something like foxfarms, I don't think this will make any difference. But it won't hurt, so there you go. If you're looking to establish root growth or bigger root systems in soil (not soilless, that's different), I recommend combining Superthrive with the addition of pebbles and stones to the dirt.

Only Big Bloom is totally organic . I have used all three for years now with no issues at all .But I only use these at half the recommended strength more to save a few pennies than anything else .

i've only used maxibloom from general hydroponics and found it to be barely soso as a fertilizer, that plus your question needs to be more to the point, what are you growing, how your growing, if your doing hydroponics and need a blooming fertilizer i would use greenlight superbloom, it won't gum up your system like general hydroponics. works go on whatever your growing.

There is no pesticide needed, but I believe you do need to use the nutrient packs for the water, as this is pretty much a hydroponic system. The contents of the nutrient tabs is unknown, but they are not dirt, so I would have to say "no" to your question if that is what you mean by organic.

They are amazing for Aeroponics. I have used these in both DWC and aeroponic cloning. For best results, mix a small solution of ph'd water, root starter, and whatever organics/nutes you want and just dip these plugs into the mix. No needs to soak because these retain water and nutrients quite well. Place seed/clones in plug and put it into your aeroponic system...works like a charm. Enjoy!

I am using miracle grow potting soil and any supplements would burn it. I'm sure it is good. Have had good luck with that

Though this is sometimes advertised as a fertilizer, it is not. It technically has NPK levels but they are minuscule (0.15, 0.15, 5.23) other than Potassium (K). It is an additive that supplies the soil with uncommon nutrients. Think of it like a vitamin for your plant; it uses what it needs and disregards the rest. In fact I would say you would ALWAYS want to use this in conjunction with a real fertilizer keeping in mind that azomite supplies some Potassium (K) already. Azomite minerals (the company) tested growing tomatos using soil that was 25% azomite and the plants did fine. It will not burn your plants like normal fertilizer will contrary to what many of the other commenters here are saying. I would visit azomite faq for more REAL information : http://www.azomite.com/faq.html
