Doc's Super Juice.. Is it worth the hype? (Before and After Results)

[@TheObserver567]

Just came across this. I am first time user (this year) of Doc products and this summer have restored my disgusting lawn to a now beautifully regrowing Bermuda lawn. I have only done one bag this summer and I’m happy with it. I like the fact I applies wet. The product also works on keeping my plants greener and healthier than they have ever been in 4 years. Yes if you already have other products apply this is not meant to make it even better if it’s already healthy. My clay soil now is soft and maintains humidity as well. I had very hard soil. So in combination of doing humic DG to the hard soil. The Doc has helped do better than what the expensive turf company was ever doing done. Glad I got rid of that expense.

[@oceanbelow]

I am shocked at the hostility in some of the comments. I have been so enthralled in Doc’s videos as a newly lawn obsessed person. I’m thankful for the education he offers for free, and many others too! It’s exciting to learn, I am thankful for the honest review. Information allows for every individual to make an informed decision. I pray everyone enjoys their lawn care experiences and keeps it positive! Lawn care for me is such a healing experience. Love to you all!

[@jvcyt298]

My thing is to grow flowers to attract butterflies and hummingbirds, lawn-care is way more work than I would like, but I'm willing to educate myself about it so that I can spend less time and money doing the wrong things.

[@mar91942]

I use both SJ and PGF Complete on my lawn (SJ at 1x every 3 weeks/PGF Complete at 1x every 6wks). I get great results from using these products.

[@jo3l194]

At what bag rate do you apply the pgf? And do you still do the same method now?

[@reyray5]

i just saw this product on Amazon for $103.88. i almost bought it, good thing i decided to you-tube reviews on it. you just saved me $103.88

[@shaffer4220]

Although I did not perform your test I actually applied it to my new bermuda sod and in 3 days my grass was very green.

[@donburkert3620]

Super Juice is to be used as a supplement along with granular fertilization. I use it on my Bermuda at the 7-1-2 ratio every 2 weeks along with a light monthly granule fertilization of PGF Complete. The results for me this year has been the greenest lawn on the street along with irrigation 3x /week. Super Juice is to be used with a hose end sprayer and as far as cost , yes its not cheap but I get 8 treatments for about $10.00 a treatment which I think is reasonable. Very pleased with the results so far -

[@xBenny_Blanco]

You sound like someone that has been programmed to say that. If you read the label, it has the stuff just like a fertilizer and to green up any lawn. It has an 14-2-4 NPK plus 4% iron. The fact you think it has to be use as a supplement with ferts is a bunch of bull. The results you getting is from the pgf and not the super juice. Not to say, a lot of"docs" advice is very wreckless and irresponsible. If you believe the hype, good for you. But people who know about lawns, know he is scamming people

[@crockette1962]

You should try something like Knorr 18-18-18 and or FeATURE, much more impact more much less money

[@rubenrivera1932]

I happen to be a customer of both products and I use docs as a supplement to my zoysia lawn, never heard of doc bashing anyone for that matter, I use these channels for educational purposes but it seems everyone has become a salesperson !!!

[@GrassDaddy]

I have no problem with the product itself, but the claims of the sales page. If it were labeled as a supplement I'd be all for it. A lot of people DIY those ingredients so it is more convenient .

[@SuperTA329]

Your 100% right about salesman. This all started about 1 year ago. It's pretty obvious what's going on. All the guys met which was cool and now a major push on products. It's been hell in NJ and my lawn is tolerating it like never before. There is something about the gentle spoon feeding my lawn this year with superjuice and PGF complete along with some other stuff. ok, so it's not a miracle fert but I'll be damn if my yard does not look healthier, thicker and greener than ever. Doc has a good following like the rest and has Andersens behind him like the others have Matt behind them. Doc is flying solo is the only difference. Just like McGregor and Jon Jones, get a taste of the game and fortune and quickly forget about what got you there. Please people keep it real and stop all the hate. I dont see Doc even mention anything about others or what they are pushing.

[@SuperTA329]

@@GrassDaddy I remember my local nursery raving over Super Thrive before Walmart or any other store had it available. I jumped all over it which at the time was very expensive to try on my trees and flowers. low and behold I didnt notice any significant changes. The great sales pitch got me and didnt live up to the hype. not saying it was a bad product but didnt get the results I expected even after finishing out the small bottle. Superjuice on the other hand I believe and its constant feeding with hose end sprayer played a big role in a drastic change is my lawns appearance. it's hard to swallow watching multiple youtubers knocking this product who really weren't interested in actually using it at its recommended rates. I'm not that gullible to actually believe it's the only fert I will need. Summertime is not good to fert because of the heat stress so maybe skip the carbon X and finish out the year spoon feeding with your bag of SJ. Next year try testing SJ,PGF Complete along with Innova and a spot for carbon X and some of what Pete and LCN use and another spot with some scotts products, and milo and I'm willing to bet there will be very little difference.

[@eviemaddox3038]

I don't remember the specific advertising for SJ, as I came across Doc's videos and tutorials this spring and learned about all the products...which I bought. So the SJ is used along with regular fertilizer + humichar for supplementing in between. All I can say is that I have the greenest lawn on the block. I killed the Bermuda in the front a few years ago so I could plant fescue, as it was a mix and the lawn was getting more shaded with the tree getting bigger. Now even the Bermuda is coming back! My backyard is filling in with Bermuda. I had been treating improperly prior, and not getting pre-emergent down in the right timing. Regarding this test, your yard is green, but very weedy. The other was even more weedy and the third super dry. It appears nobody is really following great practices with pre-emergents, fertilizing, and watering. SJ certainly won't green up a thirsty lawn.

[@sandmandave2008]

I agree with you. His test is flawed although I believe the results boasted on the product are probably inflated, similar to the way the burger or sandwich that you get NEVER looks like the one advertised on TV. IMO, a true test would require more than a single application, should include soil testing over time, check for lawn thickness over time, and then compare to an untreated area. The other thing I question is it seems most of Docs products are geared specifically to Hybrid Bermuda grass. Grass Daddy's lawn does not look like it is Bermuda. Lawn type can make a big difference as I've seen specific products that cannot be used on certain specific grasses.

[@Johnny99mnemonic]

Been on docs plan for a year and have had great results. No “lawn protocol” can rely on a single product, it must be a multi step system. It’s always easier to disprove others rather than invent your own procedure!

[@GrassDaddy]

Exactly, so why does the sales page say it's the only fertilizer you need?

[@Johnny99mnemonic]

It’s a product, and that’s marketing. If I sold such products I’d do the same. The consumer bares responsibly to do their homework. Doc does not imply that you shall only fertilize your lawn. He goes to great extent to educate on soil conditioning, pesticides, fungicides and selective herbicides. It’s multi step, if your missing a link the turf cannot fully benefit from the nutrients.

[@GrassDaddy]

@@Johnny99mnemonic no other fertilizer makes the claims that one does because it's false advertising to say it's the all in one fertilizer and results in days not weeks but then to say no no no you need these other products and it takes time. It's a flat out lie.

[@jamesgray5560]

Johnny thanks for sharing this, Well I know the PGF Complete works!

[@garyleahy4537]

My neighbor bought two bags of this stuff and wanted me to try it as well. We both have pretty nice lawns that we put a lot of time and effort into so I didn't really expect too much but I've been following Doc on KZbin for a few years and he sounds like he knows what he's talking about most of the time so I thought, "what the heck, I'll try it". A month later, didn't really see any difference at all than before I applied the juice. I've used Sta-Green products from Lowes for several years and am quite happy with the results they provide. They have a pretty simple, fool proof system for lawn care and maintenance. Anyway, not impressed with the Super Juice but like Doc's videos and will continue watching them. Thanks for the review

[@GrassDaddy]

Yeah I'm not against him or his channel I just didn't see any results with the product. I hope he changes the Amazon sales page to be more accurate.

[@-DexterMorgan-]

Doc has said it’s very “mild” and supplys micro nutrients in between fertilizing when you’re itching to spray something. I don’t use it, a bit gimmicky to me but what do I know. I really like his PGF complete though, I have a small lawn so a bag lasts a while for me.

[@natearch80]

I tried it this year along with my normal lawn care program. For my bermuda lawn it greens it up super quick but the green last about a week. I keep my yard at an inch and a half and I have to mow every other day since i am using a fiskars reel mower so after about a week and a half i have all new grass showing.

[@SuperTA329]

Bought another bag to use as a supplement throughout next season. Very happy with my first bag results when used properly. The Andersen products are also yielding great results.

[@JH-pk6em]

Great video and appreciate you putting yourself out there for the abuse. First, I am not a Doc homer. I do learn from his videos as well as yours and others. Here is my experience and what I was facing with my Bermuda lawn. First, have had a terrible time with Poa Annua during last winter and early spring. So much so that I bit the bullet and just used round up while the grass was completely dormant. It did stunt growth and killed some areas. Then i worked on brining it back. Started with one application of Milorganite, which I had never used before in late spring (loved that stuff and would have used more but couldn’t find it anywhere in town). Followed a couple weeks later with 1 application of Humic DG and a locally made complete fertilizer with micros. Then got SuperJuice and applied once a week at full strength for about a month. June was rainy as hell in Oklahoma so got plenty of water. My lawn exploded and filled in great. Applied another bag of fertilizer in late June and have only been supplementing with SJ every 7-10 days. We have had no rain in a month now and every other lawn is fried (most have irrigation systems). Mine is still dark green and has to be mowed every 4 days. I also am following his short cycle watering suggestion but can only water on even days. Was it the SJ or the 1 application of Humic DG or the 1 application of Milo?? I can’t really say but that combination has worked well. The price is steep, but I can go a whole summer with one bag so it actually works out saving me money and micro feeding more often. My lawn does look the best in the neighborhood so I am happy. Would be interested in trying something else though if you or anyone would like to leave a comment.

[@GrassDaddy]

It's hard to tell for sure without doing a split test. I do really like the Humic DG however as it gets a LOT of Humic down vs using the liquids.

[@cutazabutton]

When something is that green and perfect looking, adding something to make it more perfect more than likely won’t make it more perfect. SJ should be applied very late in the day. And then watered in the next day. Love it

Awesome real review! Here's my thoughts: I bought it early this year like many others. It is simply too expensive (over priced) but it is partnered with a good company - I have to give him that. I still have at least 1/3 of a bag left in late July ... I haven't used it like Doc likely does - if so, the bag might last two months. I applied Milorganite (got fantastic results) and also Next products. I use a Chapin Professional sprayer bottle and the Next was much thicker and sometimes clogged but it seemed to give good results. Docs stuff did not clog and went on easily but I did notice almost every-time some yellowing of my Bermuda - but it recovered. Did I say that it is over-priced? It's better than nothing at all ... but maybe not for the price. The Aderson's has other products that are high quality and less expensive. I kind of like mixing it myself so that is good ... but results - not really. It's not bad, but it's not good either (for the price). Milorganite and water with a couple of Next products worked great. To his credit, it's a supplement ... to I propose, something like Milorganite. At $80 I will not buy again ... maybe $40, maybe. I just cannot recommend the product for what it does, for all the claims, and most of all, for the price. Doc has some nuggets of good info, but he constantly pushes he "website" and products (people want fast links right in KZbin - not jump off to some lame www site - FYI). Good on Next ... Good on Milorgantite .. good on The Anderson's other products. Not so much on Doc's. Solution: stop talking down to people, put direct links in KZbin description like real professionals, LOWER the PRICE, and don't over state its usefulness. It is a cool experiment for him and fast cash but it just isn't revolutionary and deserving of the price. Real professionals could show up at a Lawn Convention and mingle with recognition - I'm afraid Doc might be in an awkward position. I will use the rest of my bag - I mean, it isn't bad like I said before, but I will not buy again and I will buy lots of other products. I invest a good sum of money in products and lawn care like many people do here. Thank you for an honest real review! [one last thought: if you do get some results, I think you could get the same results from watering with food color every two days (same as effective dose) and properly mowing - maybe every three days. Water & mow, mow, mow - will get great results. Throw in a spread of fert and there you go.]. I top mine with Miricle Gro Lawn Food when I can find it. It a liquid mix and never let me down. I buy two or three boxes and stock them when I can.

First time I've ever had a Bermuda lawn, and years since I took care of a lawn. Bought the hype when it first came out and used it as my primary fertilizer, due to Doc's advice. 2 doses and 5 weeks later, didn't do much at all. In fact, it really put me behind since my lawn was sodded in December when our house was finished and the lawn was already dormant. I ended up putting about 1.5 pounds per thousand kf Nitrogen of Lesco 18-24-12 Starter Fertilizer in mid-June and my lawn caught up in a hurry. I still micro dose a few other times in between granular feedings, but Doc must have caught some serious flak for this product, bec he did a complete 180° and went from pushing it as a "Primary," and then saying it was a supplement, and that "Granular was the only true way to do a soil correction. I did use the PGF complete, and it worked pretty well, but I'm leaning towards just using the Lesco 24-0-11 fertilizer. I get 50 pounds of products vs 18, and it has higher nitrogen....both are slow release as well. Thanks for the video!

[@imandy8061]

Any bermuda will look like docs if you mow it too tall, cut down all the trees in your yard like he's done, and you are retired so you can water your grass religiously.

[@GrassDaddy]

well a lot of people saying you have to water it in to make it work, and a lot say apply weekly or twice a week. so I wonder if them watering their lawn is what's doing it? =P

I returned it the next day... 😊 He started to say it was a "supplement" and NOT a fertilizer, just before his PGF was released, that I will admit I bought.

[@YoMamaBoyfriend007]

Jerry Leung Exactly. It’s a supplement not your only main fert.

[@GrassDaddy]

That's why I don't understand the sales page saying it's an all in one FERTILIZER. It states it works in hours and results in days. Those are big promises for a supplement!

[@YoMamaBoyfriend007]

Grass Daddy 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@jerryclleung]

@@GrassDaddy exactly, if you ever watched his early videos, he would say it was an all in 1 fert. Then..... in the later videos, before his PGF was coming out. Slowly and steadily, he started saying it was a supplement, to use in conjunction with PGF, every 2 weeks. So the site never changed. Plus I don't have the time to mix it with hot water, let it sit for another half hour....etc.

I would review this product after some months of application as a supplement to your current fertilizer. I also think you came up waaaaay short of the recommended 1 full cup of SJ.

[@ohio_gardener]

On Doc's Amazon page he also sells "The Andersons Organic Humic DG Granular Soil Conditioner" 40# bag for $64.88, which I can buy locally for $49.95. He claims in the video that he has the absolute lowest price on the 40# Humic DG, but when I did a google search I found a number of sites selling it for much less. Not sure Doc always has the best advice on such things.

[@BrandonD1R]

Pete over at GCITURF started a review and test of this product. He's always said that he'll never talk badly about someone else and their stuff. I've been wondering why he never followed up.

[@MrBubbadon]

I have followed about half of what Doc has suggested and have had about 15 people ask me who takes care of my lawn. This stuff is very expensive but I have a small lawn and it lasted me two years so not bad. Comprehensively, I can say what he suggests works. Would it be the same without it? I have no idea because I opt to do what works.

[@GrassDaddy]

So did you use only this product or other products as well?

[@MrBubbadon]

@@GrassDaddy I used some of the techniques (soil sample, scalping, etc.). I used the fertilizer he recommended and I used the SJ as a supplement. I have not used dirt booster, humichar, etc. secondary to cost. I also haven’t leveled my lawn or bought a reel mower. My front yard would be nearly impossible to level and I just haven’t done my backyard. I’m sure it would look even better with a reel mower.

Good effort on the review. However, I use Super Juice for a bermuda lawn that doesn't have weeds, and also don't use the dye. Only applied to front lawn last week and left back yard as a test without it, they get same amount of watering and sunlight... Super Juice works wonders here, Bud...

Grass Daddy you should do a comparison with super juice against N-EXT Micro Greene. I used Micro Greene that past few days in the extreme heat here in upstate n.y. and my grass is loving it. Double Dark green color and I'm not even using Nitrogen at all... Super Juice is super snake oil...Over priced garbage even as a supplement....Thanks for the video. I would like to see a video on Doc's new PGF complete against Carbon X...I bet Carbon X will kicked is ass. I own and use Carbon X with the N-EXT multi bio stimulant 4 pack and I'm dominating my neighborhood in upstate n.y. I haven't put down any Nitrogen since late April and my grass is still dark green....Get on the Lawncology (John's) lawn care plan. Low Nitrogen and feed the soil not just the plant....

Yeah I'd like to do more comparison videos some time.

[@dandylawnandmaintenance4407]

I have not used the PGF complete but have used the Andersons 16-0-8 fertilizer with DG humic. Its a bit cheaper. I have applied it to 6 lawns. Results are very good so far but only put this down in the last couple weeks so well see how long it holds out. Also bags say covers 5000 sq ft but like many it really only covers about 3000 sq ft unless you apply a light rate.

Doc has a video where he mixes his own super juice before he decided to sell that shit. It is basically humid acid, fertilizer, chelated iron and that stupid blue dye. I make my own with humic 12, Urban Farm liquid lawn and chelated iron. Screw the blue dye it’s a waste of money, save it for spraying weeds. I have 2 acres so I’m looking for something cheap. My yard would take 35 bags of Milo for 1 application. Not gonna happen. Oh and don’t try to dissolve the humic DG granular to spray it. Check out John Perry’s video where he show the dissolved stuff vs Humic 12.

[@GrassDaddy]

lol no the Humic DG isn't meant to be dissolved and sprayed =P

@@whatthewhat11 the Amazon page actually says it doesn't matter but then not to apply before rain but then says liquids don't wash out like granular 😁

[@sandmandave2008]

The blue dye is for you to see that you still have material in the container to spray. Doc says this specifically in the video. SJ works best with lots of water so the specially made sprayers are spraying straight water from one nozzle while pulling the SJ out of the reservoir with the other. I didn't put dye in my batch and I ran out of SJ and don't really know how much area I sprayed with just water. I was spraying by the sidewalk and didn't want a blue sidewalk. LOL The dye DOES serve a purpose.

[@bottomup12]

As Doc says, it’s the consistent application over time of the juice, bio matter, and the Pgf fertizers. One application wouldn’t produce magic ?

[@jeffersononetwo]

.... I like some of Docs ideas - as my lengthily comment, I don’t like Super Juice. Water, Milo, and mow often. I did like some things he suggests: idea of spraying something nutritious on your lawn; bucket mixing and spraying; the hoses; general helpful ideas. Every video I just scrub past 6 minutes where he talks about some awesome sell or his product bell or webpage that not many fool with. He should drop that price to $35 bag for end of summer - now. Change misleading statements. Most of us deal in gallons & ounces per 1,000 sqft - not two acres. The bad I got had not recommended for small lawn amount. I think he should go back to tips - trying new products, showing results, how to care for a Bermuda lawn, how to properly mow. New nozzle, new spray jugs - small foldable practice table for work bench in garage. Ideas and how to is what he needs to get back too.

[@GrassDaddy]

Yeah I'm sure he's got great advice, I can only base the review on the product though ;-)

[@stevenbaker4540]

[@AdamKirbyMusic]

Doc's results are undeniable in his lawn, but this product simply is too expensive for something that isn't a primary fertilizer.

[@GrassDaddy]

Well and we don't know what else he's put down or what rates. I can only go by what the sales page and label say. Some say it works great if you apply it 1-2 times a week, which I don't have time for but the label didn't say that was required either.

I thought about narrowing it down to super juice with humic supplements. But it's cheaper to stick with Milo or (Sta-Green organic from Lowes). basically I want as few products as possible on my lawnncare shelf and have a golf course lawn.

[@byronb.]

I've used Super Juice. During seeding, as a supplement (to Milorganite) and as a weekly feeding. I don't use a backpack sprayer and would not recommend that. Use the recommended modified hose end sprayers. I've also never used such a low quantity. Usually a whole cup for my 1000sq yard. Within those recommended uses, you will get good results and the bag goes a long way. Super Juice is not really a great primary fertilizer. It's a supplement. Doc says that over and over in his videos. It's just a pain to prep and the Humic Acid clogs sprayers even when filtered as directed by Doc. Simple Lawn Solutions similar product is $50 for a gallon, so it's not as expensive as you think. It lasts a while. I give it a B-.

[@remannhall9457]

Maybe a good test would be on a lawn that has had little to no nitrogen in a while? It might be a decent fertilizer that does well over time but the short term gains might be exaggerated a bit or it's hard to see it's progression in a lawn already fertilized with Carbon X? Also, the temps in which SJ is used might be a factor since N doesn't do that well in the summer heat.

[@cutazabutton]

Doc recommends using it as the sun gets lower in the day and the temps are cooler. Not in the heat of the day. Then the next morning water it in really good again.
