Grow Mediums Canna coco full range feeding guide please guys

[Groff]

It is so strain dependent no one can give you a definite answer. I've got tons of experience with Canna, and what I can say is this.

Far, faaaar more important that what you decide to give them, it is more important to be SURE what you're giving them. Invest in a great pH meter. EC meters are more forgiving, but pH is far mor critical.

If you don't know the strain, start +0.3 - 0.5 from your base tap water EC. Look at the plants daily, take pics, and really notice. If they start gowing light green/yellow, immediately up the EC by 0.2 - 0.3 EC… too much and they will "burn" - you will notice this by the leaf start tips burning.

This is "reading" the plant… even the same train, even clones… under different ambient conditions will behave differently. That is exactly why there are so many heated and dumb discussions about what is the "right" feeding schedule. The "right" feeding schedule simply does not exist!

The girls will respond to their environment. Light spectrum and intensity, CO2 levels, RH% max /min, Temps max / min, atmospheric pressure, electro-magnetic fields, orientation, water pollutants, photoperiod, EC, pH, microbiology of medium, fungal attack, virus attacks, etc etc … heck so many factors…

Just look at them, document, post and adapt, adopt, learn and improve.

General rule of thumb… start low and gradually increase. If you see stress, pull back. Adjust accordingly.
Soon, it's almost like they're talking plain english to you

Thanks for that Mate very helpful I am currently waiting on a new ph pen as I'm on the liquid test atm as my cheap shitty pen broke

Thanks for that Mate is that a specific guide? Only a few ml under that atm and the ones I've seen don't want you to use boost until flowering starts so that helps that I know to give them a taste soon as pre's show

I don't think it's strain dependant but it definitely is more for photoperiod plants rather than autoflowering ones so I've just been using it as a basic guide to help me get started but it seems I've got greedy plants I'm feeding my 18 day olds 1000ppm and my 22 day old 1100ppm that's with 4.5-5.0 ml each canna A +B and 3ml of calmag and once a week they get cannazym in with they're feeding but they've only had that once up to now but come Friday they will also be getting rhiztonic. Up to now they're doing great no signs of any nute burn or lockout but they are going a bit slow so I blame this on poor lighting I've only got one of them Chinese crap ufo led lights over 4 young plants in a 80x80 tent but my new one should be here soon but the best advice I can give you is start low with the nutes and creep up boosting them when you think they can take it, I did read not to start them on less then 600ppm but I started mine on 400ppm and creeped up to 600 over a week. Soon as my new lights arrive I'm starting another one so I can see the difference a light makes.

woot? start dose is 10ml A + 10ml B so 20ml to 10litres? isnt that too much?
