I love it! It may take a little time to dial in for the plants your growing, but WOW! Such an amazing product!
Technaflora Nutrients
How will this product help you?
This is an easy / active way to manage your nutrients. While it does require you to adjust nutrients each watering, It does however give you the benefit of adjusting nutrients as required (Please know what you are doing when doing this)!
​
Why will you want this product?
The feed schedule Technaflora provides to the end user is pretty awesome. I know most companies provide something similar, But it is broken down for all stages of life. I know of several nutrient lines that cannot fit this onto a single page making things more complicated.
What simplifies their product is it can be used for both hydroponics AND soil. Please be aware different plants need different levels of nutrients - This does not impact my decision for my final result, but you "may" need to adjust slightly based on your crop.
​
What will this product will bring to YOUR garden?
Are you able to diagnose problems? If so this lineup could be for you. Everything is broken down into ml per Litre or Gallon. Although it is recommended to follow their feed schedule, you can adjust according to what issues you have. The whole lineup is available in their "Recipe for Success" which if you do choose to invest in their lineup I would recommend to get a little of everything at an affordable price. You will go through some bottles faster than others, so this allows you the immediate start up, but it also allows you to budget it. (Sugar Daddy I am going through the fastest.)

Shipping / Discreetness: N/A
​
I picked this product up at a local hydroponic store. Unfortunately Technaflora only ships to distributors, so you as well will need to visit your local hydroponic shop to try this out as well! If they don't carry this product you can always request for them to!
Manufacturer Product Information: 10/10
​
Technaflora's website is chalk full of information about their product. This includes feed charts, FAQ's and specifics of their available products. Available in 3 languages. Also the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) Which should be available with all lineups of any product you are sold (Not limited to your garden!).
​
Their website states :
"We boast a catalogue of superior plant nutrients and additives for use in hydroponic and soil-based applications." -Technaflora
​
From what I have seen, I believe this to be correct. Although I need to keep my mind open for other potential nutrient line ups! (No offence Technaflora!) If I am to use them again next round, I think I will try DWC (Deep Water Culture) to test and see how that goes! (Starting at full strength).
Cost 9/10
Where as I purchased this through a local hydroponic shop, they did not have the Recipe for Success available, and the products were bought individual (1 Litre containers) it ran me $180 or so for my set up. That does not mean Technaflora charges this much. Although I wish the starter kit was available at my local shop.
​
What I purchased and SUGGESTED RETAIL PRICE (CAD) from Technaflora:
BC Boost- $22.21
BC Bloom- $20.31
BC Grow- $20.31
Magi-Cal- 15.25
Sugar Daddy 24.09
Thrive Alive Red B1 - 20.22
Thrive Alive B1 Green- 21.03
Awesome Blossom- 11.20
-------------
Total: $154.62 (CAD) Suggested Price.
​
There are additional products available, but these are the products I have experience with.
​
Package-Contents 10/10
I believe the packaging for what I received is adiquit. Each bottle is sealed well, and you can tell if there has been tamping with your product immediately after you take of the lid. Again, I do not have experience with the kit although I wish I did.
​
Ease of Set-Up 9/10
Follow the feed chart and adjust accordingly. Make sure your plants don't get too many or too little nutrients. Other than that, simply shake the bottle, open it and measure out with a syringe (I recommend a large and small one if you are using a 5 GAL bucket or smaller)
​
Note: B.C. Boost is the first to be used! (Mix after you add each nutrient.)
Term of Use / Effectiveness 10/10
​
This can be challenging if you are trying to adjust your levels of nutrients of your plants. In my case I am currently growing cannabis in conjunction with Fox Farms (Happy Frog). I had to use 1/2 recommended dosages as not to have nutrient burn. I know this from experience. In result I had to flush my soil with pH'ed water to return to a neutral state and start over to find out what levels I could feed my plants. Now I am using several factors that could have caused this: was FF soil to blame for having high nutrients , Technaflora's for being potent or are my plants just really sensitive? I don't know. Where they were all factors only time will tell by isolating each (Hence why I wish to do a DWC) But as of now my plants are flourishing since I now have this factor corrected. My friend is growing with the same nutrients in DWC now, and he has no issue. So my best "guess" is it's conjunction between FF and Technaflora's nutrients creating a hot soil.
Test- (It works) 10/10
Where I am not a scientist, I cannot do a test on this one. But I will simply show pictures of my current grow. If you wish to provide feedback you would like to be here, please email me. I will say however: THIS PRODUCT DOES WORK!.

Product Overview
I am extremely pleased with the result thus far with Technaflora! I will update when I cut the plants down for an actual yield (cured). (Please note these were manifolded and were not allowed to grow to their full height) But there are approximately 120 colas (50-60 being dominate). This shows how much nutrients their product can supply quality nutrients to a plant! Pending all goes well, my wife will have lots of medicine thanks to Technaflora.
Thank you.
​
​Final Score: 9.7/10
​
Additional Notes:
I look forward to using Technaflora in my garden this summer and will update this accordingly.
Their customer service is beyond helpful, so if you have any questions contact them as well!
