need advise with technaflora products, please help!

Ok, so I used these products several years ago and has a lot of success, but my stoner ass has forgotten a lot since then and trying to figure it out again.

I have BC Gow, BC Bloom, BC Boost, Thrive alive green and Red and Awesome Blossoms. First, do I need to buy Sugar Daddy and Cal-Mag or will the basic products be fine? I've heard arguments on both sides. Also, I know every strain is different, but in general what ppm and ph level should I start of vegging at and what should it peak at the end of vegging? What ppm and ph level should I start flowering at and where should it end at? Is thrive alive green used as a foliar spray or should I mix it in with the nutrients? Should I cut off the thrive alive red during flowering or use it throughout the whole cycle? The last week of flowering, do you recommend using any nutrients or flush it out with pure, 0 ppm level water? I would appreciate any help/advice people can give me. Thanks!!

oh, btw, I'm growing hydroponically using coco and perlite

somebody, anybody???

i've used the briefcase that technaflora sells that comes with "samples" of all the nutrients. It's good for a few small grows. Anyways to your question. I don't know it just boost, grow and bloom will work but I'm pretty sure it will. I do know throught my grow i never went over 50% strength nutrietents. My products came with the reccomend amounts to use which were way tooo much. Thrive alive green is just for foliar spray when your transplant.

i have the technoflora kit with all that in it just read the directions at technoflora.com and look for recipe for sucess it will be a pdf file and it will have measurments make sure u read the bottles too they have different ppm than recipe for sucess paper the paper ppm is more higher you can alter it but the bottle is lower just look on the labels ill try to get a pic of recipe for sucess for ya k

Coco is prone to magnesium deficiencies, so cal-mag might be a good idea depending on how much magnesium is contained in your base nutes. I just use epsom salt for Mg deficiencies though, its a lot cheaper than Cal-Mag. Don't get the sugar daddy, just go to the store and get blackstrap molasses if you want to add carbs

Well if your starting from seed, you start with practically nothing, say 100 ppm, and work your way up. For a mature plant depending on what nutrients you are using and the strain probably stop at around 1200, after a certain point your just wasting nutes.You should always keep th pH between 5.7-6.2

Depending on how long you veg, Id say about 800-1200

I'm pretty sure thrive alive is the same thing as super thrive...you dont need both, they are for the same thing except one is organic the other isnt. You mix it with your water, I dont think it is used as a foliar.

Ive never used thrive alive, but like I said I'm almost positive it is the exact same thing as super thrive in which case, yes I would stop using it before flower...Ive heard a lot of people say this will cause your buds to be less dense. Although Ive heard other people who use it the whole way through. I personally only use super thrive for clones and translplants.

Flsuh. coco builds up salts easy. I flush the last two weeks with RO water and Final flush. Dont go crazy with the nutes, and you might want to consider flushing a little bit every few waterings. Just enough to where you have a fair amount of run off water.

hell yea dude that shit is like 1100ppm just for veg thats how i burnt my four ladies

cant u get nut charts online??

yea it come in the box too

Thanks for the advice! I see the charts online, but it's technaflora trying to push their entire line, so it's helpful finding out what to use and not to use.

Your welcome heres something i put together

FOR MYSELF HINT I HAVE A THREE GALLON CONTAINER I ONLY USE ABOUT A 2 GALLONS OF WATER AND A GALLON WORTH OF NUTES JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE



My RECIPE FOR SUCCESS
TECHNOFLORA PRODUCTS
CLONES 200-400 PPM
VEG 400-600 PPM
TRANSITION 600-800 PPM
BUDDING 800-1400 PPM (YEAH IT CAN GET UP THEIR BUT ID PLAY IT BY EAR MAYBE 1000 AND THEN INCH YOUR WAY UP)
FLUSHING SHOULD GO FROM 1000 PPM? TO 50 PPM IF YOU CAN
CLONES USE ROOT 66 = ABOUT 100PPM PER GALLON I MAY BE OFF

VEG BC GROW AND BOOST
WK 1 ½ STRENGHT = ABOUT 300 PPM PER GAL
WK 2 ¾ STRENGTH = ABOUT 450 PPM PER GAL
WK 3 ¾ TO FULL STRENGTH = ABOUT 600 PER GAL THAT IS FULL STRENGTH

TRANSITION USING BC GROW BLOOM AND BOOST!!! (THIS IS WHEN WE START 12/12 AND TRANSITION INTO FULL BUDDING DURING TRANSITION WE WILL SLOWLY DIMINISH VERTICLE GROWTH AND WORK ON FRUTING)
WK 4 ½ BLOOM ½ GROW (DON’T DOUBLE UP THE BC BOOT JUST USE IT IN THE HALF OF BC GROW)
= 650
WK 5 ¾ BLOOM ¼ GROW (DON’T DOUBLE UP AGAING JUST USE IT THIS TIME IN THE BC BLOOM)
= 675
WK 6 ¾ BLOOM AND BC BOOST ONLY FORMULA + AWSOME BLOSSOM ¼ TSP DON’T KNOW THE CALCULATIONS BUT ITS SHOULD NOT BE OVER 700 WITH AWSOME BLOSSOM

BUDDING STILL FIGURING CALCULATIONS
WK 7 FULL BLOOM + BOOST + AWSOME BLOSSOM IF U HAVE IT AT A ¼ TSP
WK 8 FULL BLOOM + BOOST + AWSOME BLOSSOM IF U HAVE IT AT A ½ TSP
WK 9 FULL BLOOM + BOOST + AWSOME BLOSSOM IF U HAVE IT AT A ½ TSP + ½ MOLASSES
WK 10 FULL BLOOM + BOOST + AWSOME BLOSSOM IF U HAVE IT AT A ¼ TSP + ½ MOLASSES
WK 11 FLUSH + MOLASSES

EVERYTHING IS IN PER GALLON

4 TSP = A TABLESPOON
1/4 OF A TSP IS 1.25ML (1 1/4 TH) IF U HAVE ONE OF THOSE THING S THAT CAME WITH UR PH UP AND DOWN TESTER IT EQUALS A ML IF NOT YOU CAN PICK UP BABY ONES AT THE DRUG STORE THEY ARE PRETTY CHEAP JUST SOMETHING U CAN SEE LINES AND ML'S ON
