Technaflora Recipe For Success Nitrogen Toxicity and N-P-K Ratio Confusion

I have a plant that's a few weeks into flowering and it's suffering from nitrogen toxicity. I'm using the Technaflora Recipe For Success kit. The plant is in coco coir and I water it once a day with full strength nutrient solution. I'm incredibly confused as to how I can figure out the needed adjustments. I'm a very novice grower and I don't really have any idea what to do. I can't even figure out what the NPK of the nutrients are. I tried to look it up online but this is all I found and it just added to the confusion: http://www.technaflora.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=553

Please give me some advice because I'm lost and this is somewhat urgent. Anything at all would be greatly appreciated.

If you do the numbers the RATIO ends up as 1-1.25-2.25 which is good especially since the N is all Nitrate. What I see is the 2.6 EC they recommend. That is way too hot if you are feeding every watering. They recommend feed-water-water in soil-less, not every watering like you are doing. Back off to about 1.4 to 1.8 EC if you prefer to feed at every watering. To repair the situation I would go 1/4 strength too for a week then slowly add to the 1.4 to 1.8 EC.

I have used this stuff when I got my Ebb-n-Gro system and experienced the same thing. Remember, some nute lines are designed for growing more than just weed.

Thanks patlpp and Schnozzleberry Crumble. I've been doing water, water, feed since your advice and the first few feedings used a 1/2 strength solution. She's recovered and is looking a lot better now. Thanks again.
