GO CANNA its the shit, i went to pick up mine from the hydro shop and noticed that apart from the slabs he only stocked canna! it doesnt need to be washed first, its like soil but your plants go crazy in it im mixin about 25-30% perlite in with it to retain a bit of moisture.

gravity is a booster for near the end of flowering to finish your plants quicker. im using canna A+B with Canna PK13/14 for a booster seems to be doing the business!

cant advise on cfl's i only use one for vegging!

happy growing man! n welcome to RIU

thanks for this very informative post,

I am trying my luck at my first indoor grow, and I am using a perlite and coco peat mix.

I have one question, in your post you say that when you water you allow for run off,

should I make the water run out until the colour of the water changes to clear?

my run off water is brownish when it comes out,

Until I read your post I only allowed for a little run off.

Thanks again for this super good info for us coco growers

peace

LOving the root action in two weeks in coco pro+ from canna, excellent top and bottom growth

Hi guys is it possible/recommended to use 100% coco peat as a medium?

Thanks

yeah coco soil the only soil i use i use both types pro+ and the normal and off course u add your own perlite it just dont feel right not adding perlite 2 soil now but i still prefer the normal not pro + even though both r the best the normal just seems alot lighter and better aireation specially with the perlite
