I recently started using the seaweed extracts on my trees again after reading this
http://www.kaizenbonsai.com/seaweed_products.htm
By Graham Potter in the UK.
I had become very interested in the propeties of Auxin the other ingriedient of Super Thrive apart from B1. I had been using an auxin only product wich was not expensive.

The seeweed extract has Auxin ( wich Graham fails to state increases lateral root growth while slowing top growth'reducing internodes) as well as many other apparently great ingredients. I feel safer introducing Auxin this way. I believe as Graham states that sea wead extracts does have nutritients and trace elements but it is generally used to de stress a plant rather than fertilise it. The nutrients it supplies are not surficient.
