I bought Superthrive and Messengers today. I have read the little bit of info on the bottles, which isn't much, and also on the web and in forums. I am still confused. Which product do I use for which situation? 1. Starting seeds inside under lights (which one goes in the water). 2. Rooting cuttings. 3. Spraying seedlings.
I don't want to use the wrong product and harm my lil plants and seeds.
thank you, Kathy |

Kathy,
That's an interesting question about spraying Messenger on seedlings; it should be posted on RHA forum. My seedlings get no fertilizer, superthrive, messenger until they are maybe 6 wks old when they get a small amount of osmocote. Seedlings grow very well without any chemical help.

| I'm with Dave--no chems on babies. In fact, as few chems as possible. I use Superthrive when I pot up/transplant, just a few drops in the water when I water them in. I fertilize with an all-purpose organic fertilizer twice a year. That's it unless I diagnose a specific nutrient deficiency. More is not better. |
