can anyone help me with what's happening to my power Africa please
The canna pro may have been too hot, if you haven't fed it. But it only looks damaged on the old leaves, the new growth looks good. It will recover just fine. If the leaves start to claw or curl, then its a PH issues, but they aren't yet so I wouldn't worry about that yet.

Next time, you'll get better help if you start a new thread, as opposed to asking on someone elses.

Wow who gave you that :evil: ...Hey OP if you want the best indoor soil go with this, https://www.rollitup.org/organics/539844-subs-supersoil.html
I love this idea in theory and would love to try it but thats really quite the undertaking. Gathering that list of ingredients is a substantial expense, then its a somewhat huge amount that has to sit around somewhere and cure in the sun for how long.
I just think it lacks in practicality big time.

Still....I wish Sub or somebody would mix it and bag it and make it available that way.

You need to watch for nutrient burn with purchased soil and you add your nutrients - this could cause "nutrient burn" soil + your nutrients (total N-P-K amounts of each)

thanks haha in new to the site and can't find my way around on my phone... the leaves that are going yellowish now are turning upwards at the edges so do you think that's a Ph imbalance then? my water has been 7.5 Ph an I think I may have overwatered her the other day so that's why I'm lost... either Ph.. or heat stress...
in future I'll start a new thread haha

It takes me 30 minutes to mix...around $200 to fill 60-5gal pots...I cook it in a shed, not the sun (cook=water lightly and mix together with a garden hoe to get nutrients activated) and here is why I do it.......I got 11+ lbs off this grow...IMO...It's well worth it :bigjoint:............EDIT: BTW, That was just off 30 plants, I'm getting 6+ zips per plant and can do this twice with my $200 dollar supersoil mix :hump:....I'm high EDIT again...lol...I do cook my soil for at least 3 weeks, 4 is better but I get in a rush sometimes :mrgreen:

You're watering too much hold off till she's dry then don't soak the soil but get it moist around the edges to make the roots look for water...peace...she'll be fine...
cheers mate... the leaves have slightly curled upwards around the edges aswell... is thus due to the same problem then? also should I keep my water at 7.5 from tap or make it 6.5 with formulex or ionic grow??

WOW...7.5 from tap...yeah you're gona want to lower that...I use a supersoil so my lime buffers my PH, but when I used to raise or lower my PH, I used all natural apple cider vinegar to lower it .5 for every tablespoon per gallon, and baking soda to raise it 1/2 teaspoon per gallon raises it .7...good luck man...

cheers for reply mate...
I've read that this canna professional has lime in it aswell an also that ionic is stable Ph buffered etc.. but is it too early to feed nutes yet (16-17 days old) because don't wanna burn her if the soil got nutes in already?

vermiculite and perlite are both soil lighteners. pick one or the other. peat has no nutritional value, its only used to create fluff. the best store bought soil mix i used was mg organic choice. it doesn't have time release nutes and you can use it throughout your grow. to that mix you need to add a little dolo lime and some azomite from amazon or ebay. that's all you really need and you only have to water the plants for an eight week run. how cool is that?

lol...well, you can waste your money on those products or use what I suggested...most likely you have both already...baking soda in the fridge/freezer and I use vinegar to clean my coffee pots, so I always have PH up-down on hand :hump: you will find that those products you're buying at a huge mark up are just basic shit around the house...PH up-down is 1...Epsom salts and eggshells=Cal-Mag is another...I could go on and on man, but, use google and ask what can I feed my cannabis plant if I don't have ________??? Don't just rely on this site, cuz people will swear this and that will work and they don't have a clue so you end up killing your plant/s because you took "someones" advice on a forum...not sayin' these guys, me included, don't give good advice...but there are those few...watch for how long they've been here, how much rep they have, and how many posts they have (which really doesn't mean shit :twisted: but it's a good place to start...lol...) and you can go to there page and see their posts and what people said about what they posted...peace and welcome to RIU...OH SHIT...I'm high :mrgreen: as for the original question "but is it too early to feed nutes yet (16-17 days old) because don't wana burn her if the soil got nutes in already?" I usually wait till the cotyledons, lil round feeder leaves start to wilt and the bottom leaves "start" to look yellowish...then I start 1/4 strength nutes and work my way up from there...peace...
