Day 17 for this grow. Sorry I have been a bit slack here, the plants seem to be going ok I guess. They seem lighter in colour to my soil plants and have started to really grow in the last 2 days. I think I am starting to get on top of it a bit more now. It seemed way more daunting before i started than it actually is. Blue has pointed me in the right direction with the canna feeding schedule, and since then the plants look better and are growing much quicker, thankyou again. Here are some pics NL X BB is on the right, Jack Herer on the left . Thanks for reading have a good one :smoke:.....................

Day 29 for my two coco plants, they have grown a bit since my last update and i think i might actually be getting a handle on this coco stuff lol. The size of the fan leaves compared to the soil plant is amazing, at least twice the size. I have been following cannas online feeding schedule. Thanks for looking. The first 3 photos are NL X BB and the second two are Royal Queen Jack Herer.......................................................

Day 42 for NL X BB and RQJack Herer, these pkants have pleasantly surprised me with there growth over the last couple of weeks. The two are totally different structurally, NL X BB is taller, about 110cm with the final stretch to come. It is a fairly open plant in comparison.........................

Royal Queen Jack Herer is a much shorter, only 85cm tall. It has many more branches and I think it will yield just as much as big bud even tho it will be smaller.

I am definately seeing a massive difference between coco and soil, the plants are supersized in this gear, love it. Cheers for taking the time to have a read

Day 53 for NL X BB, and RQ Jack Herer,
NL X BB first, she has turned into a monster 140cm tall and about 90cm wide. She has really started to put on some bud now and hopefully stopped stretching. She is taking 7-8 litres of nutrients per day in two 4 litre lots. The leaves are nice and green, but she is nowhere near as bushy as RQJH. Here are some photos NL X BB.

RQJH, she is just a compact ting not as tall but still 140cm. The branching on this thing is amazing and she is drinking about 14 litres of nutrients a day in two lots of 7 litres. Sounds almost unbelievable but it is true, I need sponsorship for my nutrient usage.... come to the party canna you know you want too lol.. Anyway here are some photos, cheers for reading and have a good one.

I know right! Mine was drinking the same. Its ridonkulous. Glad to see a comparison grow, didn't know you were doing this. SUBBED. Im at 63 days with my nl. Harvesting bud by bud because it was huge like yours and the light just wasn't getting to the bottom. Best of luck miss!


PS - I notice you don't prune your plants. I started to mid flower and noticed a good difference. Just my two cents. I found nl took it really well. I almost removed all top fan leaves.
