Technaflora Nutrient Schedule

Hello all, I'm really hoping some of you experienced growers using Technaflora Nutrients might help me out.
I started with a cabinet from Super Closet. It's a hydroponic grow closet that came with everything I would need to start growing. It was great for me to grasp the basics but turned out to be too small and couldn't keep the heat down so I built a grow room since...

With that grow system I got a nute schedule using 7 different Technaflora nutes. I realize this would be for growing in general so I'm not sure of the amounts of each nute or what the PPM levels should really be. I keep my PH between 5.7-5.8.
I haven't been growing very long and seem to be doing great right up to week 9. Lots of big buds, nice thick plant growth and good even color on the leafs but they stop growing and taking nutes on week 9.
I'm thinking that on week 9 the BC Boost and the BC Bloom going from 10 ML per gal to 15 ML per is way to high. Would that be why they stop taking nutes on week 9??? They keep looking really good but stop growing. I'm thinking I'll keep the boost and bloom at 10 throughout the grow. Seems high to me but what do I know.... Lol..
And\or...
Using this schedule it also calls for a PPM level of 1100 in week 9. Week 10 is calling for 1200. Is that to high??

Does anyone have a chart of the mix and PPM levels according the what week the plants in??? Or give an idea what the PPM should be from week 9 on....

Thanks, JC

I've used technaflora before but I'm not sure what your talking about week 9-10 on the feeding schedule. There suggested feeding chart only goes for 8 weeks of flower. And they suggest a flush for week 8. If your going longer then 8 weeks depending on your strain I would just continue as per the chart as it doesn't really change in the last 4 weeks. And flush the last couple days before you harvest. Have you checked your trychomes to see if there ready?? You really need to harvest according to the trychomes not the weeks. Don't know what strain your growing but I like 20% amber. Hope this helped.

Going extra week should be just a matter of using the same ratio. If your plants stopped growing and taking in nutes (or are you saying its not drinking water anymore) could possibly the stain thinks its mature enough and time to die? I would just phone them and ask them, they're actually like 15 feet away from my shop. Also you'd be supposed how many people flush for 2 to even 3 weeks instead of 1.

Thanks for the reply Vaped Out, I was starting from week 1 being at transplanting. Week 9 would be week 5 of flower. Yes I do harvest according to the trychomes and the strain is AK 47. I'm really looking for the general PPM levels to give me an idea if I'm giving them to much nutes thru flower. Acording to this chart I have it's calling for 1200 for week 6 of flower. That seems to high to me but I really don't know for sure.

When I used it I always ran the ppm a little less then what they called for and never had a problem. I only switched due to cost I'm using cyco nutes my last two grows and I run that less then there recommended ppm as well. It calls for 1400 ppm I run around 1000. But that's just me. Good luck.

Hello, maybe you might suggest the following weeks PPM levels that worked well for you. That will help me understand where I might change mine and be a good starting point.
This is the PPM levels from the feeding schedule I have...
Week 1, PPM 700
Week 2, PPM 800
Week 3, PPM 900
Week 4, PPM 1000
Week 5, PPM 1100
Week 6, PPM 1200
Week 7, PPM 1400
Week 8, Flush
Weeks 7 + 8 would change depending on the look of the trychomes on week 6 .
