Has anyone used the technaflora nutrients?

I am thinking of getting the recipe for success kit, since it just looks like it would make things much easier and less confusing for me, and my poor baby plants, and I was wondering if anyone has some experience with Technaflora products and how it all went down and what not. That and the whole little box set thingie is like $30 and I won't need much, so I just thought it might be a great option for me, I have some nutes I used previously and uhhh...not very happy at all...made the smoke taste weird...not bad but weird, and I really don't think they helped my yield at all...I had a 4.5 ft tall plant only yield a little over a 1/4 oz, it yielded 10 oz...I was saddened because except for the strange taste it was awesome!---anyway sorry for the ramble...do that sometimes...So the nutrients I have previously tried were shit...They didn't seem at all "advanced" to me.

So, nobody has used these?

i use it and got the info abought it from hear abought 3 years ago and i love it !!!! if you follow that box set you wont have to worry about if your plants are getting all thay need its all !!!! i can get some pix of my shit if you want!!!

Awesome! Thanks for your reply! Makes me feel better! Hooray! An Answer!!!!!

I use its awesome. I just buy kit after kit!!!

how dose it work for you? i have had some grate stuff and cant bring my self to try eney thing else .

I think their line is fairly good quality, but if my info is correct, they only make a 3 part main nutrient which may get a bit complicated

Well we got the kit, and the guy at the hydro store gave us some of the free samples they had in stock as well. So that is kick ass! We got like a kit and a half...since you have everything you need in the box and it comes with the feeding schedule it is super easy to use. And the grow system is technically 2 parts, as is the flower...in veg you use the boost and grow formula, and in bloom you use the boost and bloom formulas...as well as all the little additives. It is just nice to read a feeding schedule and know you already have everything that is listed on it. I read a fox farms feeding schedule but it was too hard to figure out because I would have needed to take the pamphlet and a good deal of monies to the store to find everything on the list to make sure everything was mixed right. I am sure fox farms is great and if they ever put together a set I would buy it, but alas the only company that has tried to make it easy on people is the technaflora or BC nutes. I gave it to the little girls at like 1/8th strength...I have killed plants by adding nutes so I am super super light with them. But nothing is dead and that means it's doing better than I did with the advanced nutes.

I am having trouble following your post... But I've used techniflora mag-i-cal. Was always quite pleased to it, only reason I stopped using it was I went to a single n-p-k mix with mag/fe/ca.

I have never liked all these complicated schedules and multi-part mixes. Other than a change from veg to flower nutes, I've had great success just covering the list of micro/macro elements listed in most grow books. I am part of the group that thinks most of the chemicals available are totally unnecessary, or at the very least, are useless if you don't understand the chemistry/biology behind it (like carb loading or nitrogen cycles).

I used it up until I decided to go organic. I've since switched back to synthetic and I won't be using technaflora for flower.

The recipe for success works. If you cut the recommended dosages in half you will grow a crop and you will do so with success. However... The stuff doesn't put off the yields that others seem to put off.

I'm currently using the technaflora stuff for my veg plants (I have a bunch of it left over may as well use it up) and I'm using advanced for flower. I'm going to switch to ionic for veg pretty soon. All you use with ionic is the grow and the boost, if you are using RO water you will want to use either BC's magical or botanicares calmag.

I don't understand alot abotu nutes and such...that is why I need the nutes for dummies kit that technaflora offers...lol. I can just look at the paper and there is the stuff I need, but like I said I took the amount for 1 gallon and cut that in half, and then added it to the 5 gallon DWC just to make sure I don't overdo it. I would rather under do it and then go up...it's rough to start too high and try to bring it down...lol.

I did my first round with the recipe for success kit and it worked great. i decided to do a side by side with technaflora and general organics which i currently have going. I am three weeks into flower and the RFS plants look way better than the G.O.. I will most likely not use the general organics after this round.

Those plants look great for a first! I can't wait til my surviving little girl is old enough to really get going...I plan to just clone as much as I can pretty much and then pick one for a mother and go from there. I'll get more seeds when I have the monies and so on and so forth....The roots on the c-13 are just about to hit the water so it should be awesome. The Amnesia Haze plant seemed to grow leaves but not enough roots to support them so it died...I am not sure what happened to it, but it wasn't right to begin with...I am not so sure that it was me that killed it. The c-13 is curling a little cuz of some ph issues but I am sure I'll get those worked out in no time...lol.

the only time you will need to cut down your technaflora nutes. is in veg after your clones have rooted. for the first watering you're suppose to give them root66 and whatever else it is... then when u water again or change ur tank a few days later you can give them half strenght veg nutrients and next watering you can start feeding them normaly. your ppm shouldnt be over 1100 with r.o water. my plants love it so much I had to start researching about these nutes. I got a starter kit too. And I can't complain until now. I heard people say it gives better results then AN's. So i'm gonna do a comparison grow, if this happens to be true I will be so happy since I've been an AN customer from their beggining and they just keep rising the prices on us! I'll start a thread tommorow about my grow look out for it.

I haven't given anything more than about 1/4 strength so far...I'll be cleaning out the reservoir soon and I'll probably kick it up to 1/2 strength...I only like smoking mostly sativa plants and they are all pretty sensitive to nutes...so I would rather get it under and go up from there...I am loving the kit! I have everything I need right there in one box...and like I said the hydro store guy gave us a few free bottles of stuff like root 66, bloom, boost, and a few other things that are in the kit when we bought the kit...so we got like 1 and 3/4 of a kit for the one kit price...lol. It has just simplified the whole process for me

I use Cal-Mag instead of, Magi-cal. Works much better, I also use Botanicare Supplement Kit Clearex Cal-Mag Sweet 8oz ea, Sweet smell lot better than Sugar Daddy.

I also use half awesome Blossom, and Bloom Maximizer. I am soon gonna stop using Awesome Blossom and just use Bloom Maximizer, since it has no Nitrogen. and the Potassium level in BM is up There.

O know this post is old but I used fox farms and my bud came out with a weird harsh taste to them like they still had chemicals in them or something, but I flushed them for 3 weeks before harvest so I don't know what happened but I know I will never use fox farms again....Im going organic all the way from now on.....if this thread is still being read by other, can anyone tell me if technaflora is organic or chem based?

Kev, most is chemical based. They do have some stuff that is organic based and some that are OMRI listed but the Recipe for Success kit is not 100% organic. Personally I don't like Technaflora for hydroponics because of the organic matter in it. It's caused some issues for me in the past with DWC type systems. If I wanted organic nutrients I'd buy straight 100% organic. If you're doing soil it will do alright but Technaflora isn't a personal fave.

Ive had some really good results with it. This is my first ebb n flow grow with the recipe for success kit. My biggest is over 4' tall under roughly 400 watts of LEDs.
