Messenger has no fertilizer in it at all and once you open one of their small foil pkgs it should be used within 3 weeks and what is mixed should be used within 3 hours. It is misted on, NOT drenched.
Spray n Grow doesn't want you to have fertilized in 2 or 3 days. It has to be used in 3 hours after mixed and can have their own "Bill's Fertilizer", (a fish emulsion type) mixed with it when applying. They ask you put 2 days between applications of SnG and Messenger. Spray on till drenched. I also add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda to this as they suggest.
Superthrive is so inexpensive when you use as directed that I can't imagine anyone thinking iit's high. It calculates to 65% of one penny per gallon. More is not better from what I've read.
I use all 3 and Hydrogen Peroxide at 1/2cup to 1 gallon water.
I have a picture of my triangle last spring, treated with Messenger and Spray n Grow.
Those petunias were loaded for 3 months. Not too shabby, huh?
