AWESOME THREAD..

Yesterday was the first day of flower.
picture.php

I am using Cana A & B at half strength, as well as Rhizo at half strength while the plants were vegging-transplanted.

From reading the all the pages here I have been trying to keep my ph between 5.8-6.2
My ppm have been less then half the recomended PPM, but I attribute this to the half strength nutes.

As for the other Cana products it seems A&B are all that are needed? I will be using some PK but not sure the exact timing, my notes say well into flower.. Maybe some more research. I am not using the Canazyme as it mentions its specific for hydroponic on the label.

Last nights feeding:
5ml Cana A&B per gallon
1ml Cana Rhizo per gallon

I will be adding Bushmaster to the above BubaXMaster plants on Day # 8 and 10 of flower,

Do I seem to be on the right track?
P.S. Coco is amazing!

wspcolorado - its looking good :D now you should consider to put up the nutes a little bit for the stretch :D

7-8 ml per gallon or maybe even more for a few weeks - during the stretch the plants use up a lot of N :D

looking good anyway! :D

Nice grow. You got the smartpot going
and ingenious orange tray to catch water (inexpensive $1.- 5 gal cover from the depot i assume) sure beats a $5 nursery saucer.

Is that from Canna?
Cannazym (from Canna) is for soil too. their lit says suitable for all medium types & they have dosage rec's on their terra fertilizer schedule.

I found that I needed a bigger saucer for the 3 gal smartpot
so I use the big kitty litter tray from wally world $3.95

I try to keep an air space under the smartpot for more air.

Nice man. Newly subscribed to this one. How much do those pots cost and where can I get some. 3 gal?

The pots are "Smart Pots" i picked them up at the local grow strore for $4.00 each

Awesome, I was hoping you would chime in, well along with everyone else to! Going to bump the nutes up on the next feeding

Great info, I may consider using the Canazyme it is the Cana product, using all Cana aside from Bushmaster and Snow Storm later on. Reading thru this forum I thought that people were having the best results just using the A&B with a little PK later on?? Cant really seem to find much info on Canazyme with Coco..

Yes on the HD lids, I was very excited to find them and may even try your Wallie world method.

Thanks again everyone!!

Well my youngster has gotten alot worse. I am at my wits end. I read about how easy and forgiving coco is, but maybe this GroTek CoCo is shit? I flushed it really good before i started and managed to get the run off ppm to 0, so i wouldnt think that would be the issue.

leafs are loosing color really fast, and tips are dying. I am feed at 450ppm and something is not right. I cannot stress how fed up with Botanicare Pure Blend Pro line, i want something that I can jsut follow the bottle and not F*** around with ppm all the time. If i add what the bottle reccoemends my PPM will be in the 1500-1600 range. ERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not impressed so far, Pro-Mix Soiless #4 treated me alot better from day one.

Needless to say I am very frustrated!!!!!!!!

once a day. they are in fairly small 4"x4"x5.5" square pots. Let me ask you this. As of right now I am only using Cal-Mag Plus, Pure Blend Pro Grow and Liquid Karma with RO 0ppm water and all added in that order. What is the recommended ppm of Cal-Mag Plus that i should be starting with? Seeing how I can't go off what the bottle says or else I start with 450ppm water!!!

hehe :D the leds make it almost impossible to see anything :D

sorry man :D it looks maybe like insuficient nutricion :D but id need to see outside the growspace :D

peace
 
IMO the new growth looks pretty good. I think you can relax a bit.

Those damaged bottom leaves will not come back so don't look for improvement there. Keep an eye on the brand new growth.
