Tecnaflora, BC Grow-BC Bloom

Anybody using technaflora products, BC Grow, BC Bloom, etc? At the hydro store they recommended the starter kit. I didn't realize it was actually a mix of 6 products.

I will probably run out half way through my grow. Would anybody recommend sticking with these or just switching brands.

Thanks Folks

I use the same ones, the hyrdo store I got em from recommended them for "tomato" plants. Haven't had a problem yet.

Hey Astonomy,
Are you using all six products? I've already used up the thrive alive products. I thought most formulas everybody talk about are just three parts.
Still a nubie and trying to figure it all out.
Thanks for the input!

They are very good nutrs.I used them for 3 grows in soil and they do very well.I still use the thrive alive green B-1 as a foliar spray for clones. PEACE

They are very good nutes I`m currently using them right now for my Afghani here take a look.

I agree, they are working well. I just thought most formulas only had three parts. I didn't realize there were so many different additives.

Thanks for the help

this mix is not organic? is it safe? I heard fox farms is cool? what do you guys think about this?

Most fertilizers are just tow part formulas as one contains all the micronutrients usually. If your formulating fertilizers you formulate as three parts then just add the third part (micro nutrients)to the second part. Nutrient n manafacturers are prone to do things in such away so that they can say their product is different and they tend to mix in such a way as to extract as much money from the buyer as possible. ie note the iron absence in the main two part formulas (BCgrow, BCbloom)in their products that require you to use Boost even if you use Awesome Blossom if you wish to get enough iron for proper growth. Just manipulation of the formulas so as to sell more products. Great ethics huh?

After looking at the analysis of their products (the B vitamins are not listed here for the supplements) I would not buy any of the formulas or supplements but the Boost and the Bloom. I would use two parts bloom to one part boost.

They screwed the awesome Bloosum up by adding the ammonical nitrogen at way to heavy a level. Ammonical nitrogen should never be above 15% of the total nitrogen. If mixed 1:1 with BC boost it would be 26% ammonia based nitrogen and it would be a bear trying to keep a high enough pH. The small amount of iron in the Awesome Blossom is a joke.

The B-1 (Ta-red or green)are trash for anything but seddlings and rotting clones. It is really sad tht Boost is their only realformula that has iron, then it is missing the other micro nutrients.

Their grow formula is sad. In general their formulas are a lower concentration than the other major brands so that should definitely be considered when looking at prices as your gettig about that the fertilizers as in the major brands such as GH or AN tow part formulas.

I just bought there starter kit but it came with 9 differant things but this is my first grow my plants are 3 weeks old in a dwc system I'm using boost,grow,thrive red,magical and sugar daddy all at half strengh but within an hour it turned my roots from healthy white to an ugly brown color they still look healthy not mushy or anything is this normal?
