I have used Superthrive for years, mostly for bonsai, and usually whenever I
transplant something. I really don't know how well it works, since I've never
done any experiments (some plants with, some plants without) where I could see
a difference. My chile pepper transplants go directly from a 1000W HID light
in the basement to the pepper patch outside with no hardening off period. They
sometimes get a little sun or wind burn, but they always recover as the
seedlings grow.
