BIOCANNA - Anyone tried this line?

[subrob]

I've been using the canna lines on and off for years. Probably....let's see....20 years now. Bio, substra, and Coco. Along with others.

Canna is the best I've seen. The bio is incredible stuff. I use filtered water, so depending on the strain, I will use calmag supplement. Many I don't need to bother with.
I also don't ph balance anymore. With the bio. Have been using promix last couple years, and while I'm considering trying something new(strictly because it comes in smaller bags than the promix bales).

Someone asked about biobizz. We actually ran that for a year or so and we were pretty damn happy w the results. Then a controversy about ingredients it may or may not include had us switch back to bio canna. Maybe arsenic? Never found out for sure, but switched just in case. And that was 10-11 years ago, probably things have changed.
The only reason I switched off any of the canna lines at any point was cost. I'm retired now, personal grow. I doubt I'll ever use anything else in my life, as I don't plan anything beyond a single hps or small outdoor garden again

Thanks for sharing your experience @subrob !

Ya, I hear you. My first grow back in 2001 was with Canna Terra Vega & Flores. Had 0 issues, great buds, and pretty vigorous growth. Sure, there are genetics and other factors, but Canna always has stayed in good memory.

I've asked about BioBizz, but then changed my mind and will get BioCanna. I've heard BioBizz got much thinner and after comparing it with Canna I can say that seems to be the case. Canna is like a goo and BioBizz seems to have the consistency of water. I bought today SuperVit from Hesi for some extra amino acids and vitamins+Canna and I should be good to go when it comes to nutes. Got also a bag of BioBizz light mix soil.

Running BIO Canna I would recommend having a well prepared medium, with good buffering, cal/mag, micro nutrients. I constantly run into defiencies with using BIO Canna vega/flores. Maybe my batch was wrong, but every time I get same type of discolouration and stunted grow. I suspect something gunked up in one of the bottle, which I pressed out and forgot which bottle was that. Will leave this nutes for kitchen spices/herbs in future...

I will die using Bio Canna!

When first discovered Canna nutrients my grows were brilliant. I've not used canna for years, old-timer nutrients have been a favourite for years as was bio Bizz. I stopped using both of those recently as there is stuff in them that's not organic. It's a preservative of some kind. So I'm back with Canna bio for my grows.

So the harvest is done, buds cured and I have 0 complaints on CannaBio. Had no issues with it whatsoever. The smoke is great, but obviously, fertilizer is a small piece of that puzzle. For anything more than that I guess you'd need to do test grows with different fertilizers, the same genetics, and all other conditions, to be able to really judge it. All in all, I'd use it again.

Yup the cannabis community sucks that bad. You have to figure out everything on your own because Cannabis growers are selfish pieces of shit with zero talent. No one wants to help you avoid wasting 3 months on bullshit nutes that make your bud smell like new tennis shoes. That's the only advantage they have.

Ran 20-20-20, ionic, advanced, house and garden, pure blend pro, floranova, gh 3 part, green planet 3 part, dutch master, canna coco and now i wanna try biocanna because im not happy with the results so far.

Biocanna line is good and easy to use because it has only 4 products. But, for high performance growing it is not enough. Biobizz line is better, and Advanced Nutrients organic line even more!

Before to use Biocanna you have to do as Daddy Yankee: "Shaky Shaky Shaky Shaky" :

sounds like what a snake venom vendor would say. advanced is carboard bullshit and biobizz never tried. sure advanced you will hit numbers but taste is SHIIIIIIITTTTTTT. curently trying canna substra and there is too much nitrogen in their part A so so far im not liking this line

 

[I Care]

If you want to have an easy performing BioCanna grow you’ll need four other things.

In a past grow of some sour diesel in which the provider of the starts we’re impressed by the quality.

I used these simple things.

Ocean Forrest soil which could be substituted. Then I blended that with about half coco brick, peat moss and pearlite blended together.

For veg I used a Bonnie’s fertilizer that is discontinued. I would replace that with grow big or similar grow nutrient.

Introduced BioFlores at the start of flower, then molasses and pk13/14. In the last watering it was nothing but molasses.

Lime Juice concentrate was used for PH adjustment and run off was tested to target low 6s on the chemical paper pH strips.

No man, with the OIM line even the taste is the best. It beats the others in all aspects. But, with a significant higher price.

That's true, I perceived the same here. I think they use coffee in the formula

Didnt know they had an organic formula now, but then again organic and bio vegan is 2 different worlds too.

You are right, you are not the first one to say that Bio canna is missing something

 

[I Care]

Canna is canna, it’s not missing anything. It’s meant to be applied to fertilized fast drain/dry soil with generous run off to waste.

If anybody wants to know how to grow better cannabis with canna I’ll give you the step by step. Remember it like yesterday. 5x5 sour diesel 4 plants 1000w hps and resulted with about 12-13os of dry/cured sour(not citrus) diesel as a first time grower that just got gifted some cuttings from a friend in Florida which died from a stab wound to the heart.

Person that taught me canna was an old friend I reconnected with in college, after they dodged life without parole. It was a decent living to grow small batches when it was common 400+ for some good indoor. They grew a BK/DC and it tested in the 30s, that was maybe like ‘08. I used their same method in 2012 for the sour(not citrus) diesel.

Quality soil blend of ocean forrest, peat moss, coco, perlite. watered with grow big, bio flores, molasses and pk13/14 that’s all the sauce you need for a quality smoke.

If you don't mind all your flower tasting the same, AN is good stuff.
Bio bizz was definitely good. Did they get rid of the arsenic yet?

Advanced Nutrients "ORGANIC" line is way different from the mineral one, and it's impossible to compare each other because they have totally different approaches and formulas.

I'm just saying because I used it, and each strain gets its taste very well defined and stronger than any other bottled organic fertilizer I've used.

I don't understand it, none of the three lines mentioned are vegan...

bio canna is vegan, look it up. what other bottled organic nutrients have you used?

Indeed it's true, good to know! They should mention it clearly in the bottles as BAC do. I just used the previous 3 lines we've talked about, and you?
