got some coming this week, feels like christmas.........
Well we have been using distilled water when we can get it, and drinking water when we have nothing else. What do you recommend that is cheap and easy to access?
+rep to you sir! Very good advice you've been giving throughout this whole thread. You're lucky ClosetCoco to have someone like dajosh following your grow. Listen to everything he is WILLINg to tell you about bud. Also great stuff so far Coco. Can't wait for those bomb genetics to come in and see what you can really do. Great stuff!Yes, 8-12 inches, wouldn't get much closer then that. Do so at your own risk.
And as far as water. I got a 5 gallon jug at walmart (Literally called Pimplastic. And fill it up at the water dispensers outside ANY store. They are almost ALL Reverse Osmosis water. Then you have to pH it. You need to get some drops. Pool pH kits WON'T do it cause they dont cover enough of the spectrum. You can either order online, or go to a hydro shop for this one. Along with it, you need pH Up and pH Down. They will allow you to properly pH your water AFTER you've added nutes. Also, you should be adding nutes every 1 in 3 waterings or so. And any nutes from a hydro shop will do, ask them there. I use FloraDuo, Part of the Flora series, but it's really new, you might want to go with something else. There are MANY to choose from.
And you know understand the N/P/K thing? The 3 numbers on the nute bottles?
Hehe, thanks man! Yeah, I don't really know why I decided to take such an interest. Prob because I just happened upon his grow when he FIRST started it. And don't ask me why, anytime ANYONE has asked my any questions, I've tried to give any info I had. I suppose I just enjoy helping people. It gives you such a sense of accomplishment when you grow your own medication, or even just your own recreational. It's so rewarding to do it RIGHT, and to enjoy the fruits of your labors.
well the awesome thing about canna is, their base nutes are ph neutral. so as long as out water is balanced we dont really have to worry too much. i got the ph drops from my hydro store, but i want to get a digital in the next two days. i just cant decide which one. yeah we went inside our local grocery and got a bunch of R/o water from the machiene. it was like .30cents for a gallon of it. i usually mix half that witha nother half of tap water that has been sitting out. since i am growing in coco, i have to use nutes everytime. coco it totally inert and with out nutes, there is nothing for the plant to use. i noticed spotting the day after i tried water with out nutes. i know they are 3 of the 15 basic things a plant needs. i think canna pk 13/14 raises the nitrogen and potassium levels really high for better flowers (?)Yes, 8-12 inches, wouldn't get much closer then that.

thanks for looking! Im really excited about the new genetics. i CANNOT wait to see what sannie picked me out for a freebie as well. i told him to pick whatever he liked best. I am very lucky to have dajosh in my thread! id be so worried if i didnt have the ability to pm any questions i have.
You don't need much N in flower, but you do need P, which actually stands for Phosphorus, is a very important part of flowering. Once flowering they need a nice big dose of it. Don't OVER do it, but...you get the idea. (Is high, i'll prob go into greater detail laterwell the awesome thing about canna is, their base nutes are ph neutral. so as long as out water is balanced we dont really have to worry too much. i got the ph drops from my hydro store, but i want to get a digital in the next two days. i just cant decide which one. yeah we went inside our local grocery and got a bunch of R/o water from the machiene. it was like .30cents for a gallon of it. i usually mix half that witha nother half of tap water that has been sitting out. since i am growing in coco, i have to use nutes everytime. coco it totally inert and with out nutes, there is nothing for the plant to use. i noticed spotting the day after i tried water with out nutes. i know they are 3 of the 15 basic things a plant needs. i think canna pk 13/14 raises the nitrogen and potassium levels really high for better flowers (?)

so bad news guys. one of the fem iced grapefruit (the same one that came back from the dead?) just shriveled up and died. weirdest thing. it wasnt close to a light, infact it was furthest from the light and the leaves turn to powder when i touch them! no idea why or how this happened.... oh well.. still have the other fem iced grapefruit
