Resurrection.
What’s shaking people.
I’m back for bit.
Here’s my latest single plant that I’ve switched to flower schedule today.
So far this plant is approx 5 weeks old from seed.
Has been topped where the first 5 bladed leaves appeared.
Then those 2 main tops have been topped again.
A couple of lower shoots have been removed and I have used a small amount of super cropping to keep an even canopy.
This is a single Blue Dream from HSO grown from fem seed.
Over the upcoming stretching period I will be removing a lot of lower growth and adding some support steaks at each corner of the pots for later on.
Canna Coco Pro
18L pot
Currently being fed with
DUTCH PRO GROW A/B hydro/coco 4ml p/L
DUTCH PRO MULTI TOTAL 1ml p/L
DUTCH PRO TAKE ROOT 1ml p/L
pH 5.7-6.2 depending upon where I set it.
EC1.4
Environment
19.5C-25.5C
RH35-55-%

Little update after one full 12/12 period
Today I have trimmed up the bottoms and slight super crop to even out the canopy again.
You can see on the pics the difference from before and after trimming along with after the small super crop to level out the canopy.
Also my hi’s and lo’s for temp and RH along with current running.

Figured this would be an appropriate place to ask how close can I put my 400w without issues.

Depends at what point of growth your plants are at.
Seedlings etc you want it around 3ft away but in all honesty for seedlings an HID light is too intense and not recommended.
I use a 250w CFL for seedling.
Then after around 2 weeeks I switch to my 400w MH at about 2ft away.
Then I adjust it to around 18” off the canopy for the rest of the grow cycle even when I switch out the MH to HPS it stays around the same distance.
The general rule of thumb is if you can keep your hand at the top of the canopy without it getting too hot for comfort then your light distance is fine.

These were taken yesterday.
At day 13 of 12/12
Pistils are now showing but I forgot to take pics of that.
I have trimmed a couple more bits of lower growth.
Added support stakes and tied some of the leaders to the support stakes.
Also a shot of how my main stalk looks and showing where I topped. I also topped each of those 4 mains coming up.
I topped after the first 5 bladed leaves during veg.
I’ve also switched to my HPS now.
Current EC1.4
pH5.8
EC out currently sitting at 1.7.
Also gave a small pinch of Epsom salts across the top of my coco as a little top dress before I watered last time which could explain the slight increase in EC Out but it’s nothing huge and the plant isn’t showing any obvious sign of any issues.

Day 15 of 12/12
Flower sets are starting to form.
So this will be now when I count my flowering start time.
5L mix
Current EC1.7
5ml Canna Mono Ca
16ml each of Dutch pro hydro Grow A/B
Multi total 5ml
pH 5.8
Started to get a slight calcium issue denoted by the slight spotting that’s started on some leaves.
Hence the 5ml canna mono Ca used.
Dutch pro hydro has 3.6% Ca in its formula which imo for coco is not enough as it needs to be around 5%.
As I have said earlier this is when I now begin to add the mono Ca as I don’t like using a Cal/Mag product and prefer to use individual nutrients as calcium and maganesium problems never crop up together.
And an abundance of one will cause symptoms of the other.
I won’t be adding any more Ca next watering as I will only do this once per week unless the spotting gets worse.
The trick with spotting these symptoms becomes easier over time and you begin to be able to see the early signs and deal with them before they’re an issue.

Day 18 of 12/12.
Current EC1.8
I added 0.5ml per litre of Canna Mono Ca again today along with
4ml per litre Dutch Pro Grow A/B
1ml per litre Multi Total.
pH5.5 to allow the Ca to be uptaken a little easier
EC out 1.9.
I’ll most likely back off the feed back down to 1.5 next watering for a few days.
I’m going to continue adding 0.5ml of canna mono Ca as the symptoms of the Ca def are not progressing any further which is great.
As you’ll see top colas are beginning to form slightly so I now is when I say true flowering has begun.
Here’s the pics.
