Doesn't sound like it. Here is a snip of some product info: Is it a fertilizer? Classification of HB 101 HB101 is neither an agricultural chemical nor a fertilizer. It is an all-natural organic solution that stimulates plant growth. Hence, hb-101 is referred to as a plant vitalizer, or plant growth enhancer. How does it affect leaves? Development of Leaves with hb 101 Plants need the sunlight, air (carbon dioxide and oxygen), water and soil (minerals and micro-organisms) to grow. If the delicate balance of these elements is not maintained, growth is slowed or stopped. Sunlight and carbon dioxide are absorbed into the plant's system through its leaves, where photosynthesis produces glucose and other nutrients necessary for survival. When hb101 solution is sprayed onto foliage and applied to the soil, the plant absorbs more phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N) from the soil. These nutrients are combined with ionized calcium and sodium from HB-101 and absorbed into the leaves' cells, thereby strengthening the cells and increasing photosynthesis efficiency. This results in greener leaves and stronger, healthier plants naturally. How does it help in stem and root development? Effect of HB 101 on Development of Stem and Roots The main function of the roots and stem of a plant is the absorption and transportation of water and other nutrients. Healthy leaves depend on healthy roots. Water and nutrients, especially calcium, are necessary for the development of leaves and roots, but many minerals, including potassium, cannot be absorbed into the plant's system in their solid form. These minerals have to be converted to an ionic state in order to be easily absorbed through the roots, and this is done by micro-organisms living in the soil. By applying HB101, which itself contains ionized minerals, the activity of these micro-organisms is enhanced, insuring that the necessary balance of nutrients is maintained. The result is stronger root systems, capable of storing sufficient quantities of the plant's energy sources, such as glucose. In addition to these essential ionized minerals, hb-101 contains significant quantities of saponin, a metabolite which replenishes micro-organisms with oxygen. The stem is the pathway by which nutrients are transported to and from the leaves and roots, and it is also the backbone of the plant. Solid cell membranes are required for this function. Healthy cells and sufficient nourishment result in the smooth distribution of carbohydrates, which are necessary for strengthening cell membranes. With the introduction of hb 101, nutrient flow from the leaves and roots is maximized, contributing to the healthy development of the stem. Does it help in conditioning of the soil? Soil Conditioning with hb101 Soil should be soft and contain a good balance of water and air, and should allow good drainage after rain or irrigation. It should also maintain proper moisture even during sunny weather and should be neutral to mildly acidic. In such conditions, the balance of micro-organisms in the soil will be favorable. However, factors such as acidic rain, agricultural chemicals, and repeated cultivation can harm the soil and stunt the growth of the essential micro-organisms. With HB-101, the propagation and proper balance of these micro-organisms can be maintained. Is it harmful to my pets and other animals? Effect of HB 101 on Harmful Creatures As stated, HB101 is a product that is safe on living creatures. Therefore, it is not an insecticide. However, it does contain a substance called pinene that is known to repel insects. Plants also have natural defense mechanisms, similar to the immune system of humans. However, if a plant is not in optimum condition, its immune system will not be as effective, and hence vulnerable to attack by harmful insects. By improving the plant's immune system, hb-101 will help remedy this. www.bonsainut.com |

I'm sorry to see your pine is not feeling well just now, but this thread has brought up some answers to what to do with that stuff they gave me in my "goody" bag at a convention last year...
I really had dismissed it as another variant of super thrive and there it has sat all this time on the shelf, not being used. Does this stuff have a shelf life if it hasn't been opened in a year? I have an oddball pine that hasn't been doing well for some time now, I'm thinking it couldn't hurt it to spray the needles and give it a drench w/HB 101. Thanks all for your testimony about this product, shall try some tomorrow  |
