General Hydroponics GH5122 BioThrive Grow, 1-Quart

This product and their Bloom fertilizer are the best on the market for growing in soil. I used to use fish emulsion exclusively, but I'm getting much better results with this stuff. This is my best garden year ever and the only difference is I'm using this instead of fish emulsion. Incredible, rapid growth, strong healthy plants, TONS of buds, and fruit setting. Be sure to have your soil tested, I can't stress this enough, otherwise you're just shooting in the dark. If you don't do that, you simply don't know if you need to add more calcium, magnesium, etc....This product DOES NOT have enough calcium if your soil is low to begin with. It drives me nuts when people say their "secret" to growing great peppers or tomatoes is to spray them with epsom salts...LMAO....yeah, that's a great "secret" if your soil's magnesium is low, otherwise IT DOES NOTHING. This product also attracts earthworms like crazy, probably because it contains molasses. I'm slowly switching over to soil amendments and granular fertilizer to save money, but if you're a new gardener or if you have a brand new garden without amended soil, you NEED to use a liquid fertilizer like this. Start with a half dose- 1teaspoon per 2 gallons, while they are young, then move up to 1 teaspoon per gallon...once per week should be enough. This stuff is POTENT, so you can easily half the dose and still get great results, unlike a lot of fertilizers. One cool trick I've started doing is to buy huge feed bags of alfalfa pellets from a feed store and cover my entire garden with an inch thick layer of them right before winter, when my garden is mostly done. Till them in the first six inches of soil well....then in the spring, you won't need any of this fertilizer for the first 6 weeks or so. You might not even need this grow formula if you do that, go straight to the Bloom. Alfalfa is the greatest nitrogen fertilizer ...try it, you'll thank me.

Great

Had a friend suggest the BioThrive, way better than the previous indoor plant fertilizer I was using! Goes a long way. Now the standard for all the indoor and greenhouse plants.
