Vitamins, enzymes, antioxidant building blocks, with a teeny bit sulfur and magnesium. If the plant was being pushed fairly hard or was under environmental stress, its hard to gauge exactly how much it helps, but it definitely helps. Enzymes are very energy-intensive for a plant to produce, they are complex, and protein synthesis is one of the most energy-demanding metabolic processes in a living cell. Every slice of energy you can save, is energy saved, and energy that can be used for biomass.

green_claws, that's not what i said at all. What i said was open-ended and you filled in the blanks like a rorshach inkblot. if evidence exists to support the claims by the vendor, sure.. if not they are just selling hope to people that will overpay for anything that promises to aid their hobby or interest. Using it in an uncontrolled environment and never comparing to a control group is not something to be confident about. That's a major reason why anecdote failed to advance society beyond medieval sophistication after 100,000 years. Only with the employment of the scientific method in the last 150-200 years have we advanced at increasing rates over time. Sadly it also gets too complicated without taking learning several topics that all build upon each other over time, so you end up with anti-vaccer types that just get frustrated and angry when they don't udnerstand something well beyond their capabiities. Those people have no problem putting faith into religion, but empirical studies? No way! LOL There are endless examples of sales and marketing claims falling short of promises. It is the norm, not the exception. Skepticism is required. So, using this product allows you to easily exceed the yields of a control group in a statistically significant way? Did it consistently provide statistically significant increases to potency compared to a control group? How many different species were tested? What was the sample size and therefore confidence level of the results seen? These are things that need to be answered before I'll trust any bold claims about a product. Lack of testing is a red flag... it denotes insecurity about their claims and promises. Systematic and sophisticated testing to find any merit to correlations promised is absolutely required before i believe a marketing pitch. What i call common sense.

If you have it then it's worth giving it a try, just pick one plant in the grow to test it on.

way too complicated to know from home growing if something like that actually shifts the curve of results... maybe. too many variables changing... never comparing to a control group... unresolved. Anecdote in such a context is highly untrustworthy. when a company doesn't actually test and prove results in a proper way, dietary supplements are an excellent example, it's usually for good reason...it's better to sell hope than prove themselves wrong. Or, in the absence of good research, that's usually correlated to the fact existing knolwedge may make it improbable to start. conserving energy is a good hypothesis, but if there are no pathways to allow such a thing. In the past i've seen peopel who think providing sugar can help the plant.. it might feed microbes which may indirectly help the plant, but you cannot give a plant glucose via the roots and have it used by the plant -- there are no biological pathways to make use of glocuse if it could b taken in by the roots. Can't assume it can enter the plant nor have a use without showing it to be true. i'd try to find empircal data that supports the claims of the marketing folks selling superthrive. at best it'll be a maybe. Like myco, just not thoroghly proven...and that in itself is no accident (dietary supplement example above) ... by reseraching it competently, they may destroy their own revenue stream, lol... conflict of interest. Really comes down to personality.. those that want to do everything possible even if some of those behaviours are placebo. This strategy will inevitably fall prey to gimmicks -- not saying that as an insult - if a few good things result, it's an acceptable cost, eh?.And, those that want to do the basics well that account for 90-95% of the return - light, climate, basic nutrition would probably sum that up? Spectrum between, too. whatever floats your boat....
