There is nothing magic about SuperThrive. The SuperThrive label says
is contains 0.09% Vitamin B1 and 0.048% 1-Naphthyl acetic acid.

You can get Vitamin B1 at any garden supply. I use it in my
non-savage garden when I transplant plants and rooted cuttings.

NAA is a rooting hormone. The bottle of NAA I use for rooting
cuttings has major warnings about skin and especially eye contact.

Algae and fungi LOVE SuperThrive too. I find it can cause more
problems than it is worth with CPs if it comes in contact with the
soil or water.
