i need advice on the best upbringing on seedlings in canna coco using canna products

olly perry · Apr 10, 2016

hello,
i have some super silver haze and lemon skunk seedlings they are now 4 days old and 2 inch above ground. they are in small seedling pots in canna coco. they were germinated with plain water and now i have been keeping the medium mosit with a rhysotonic spray. im unsure when to introduce canna a and b and if they should be in a propagator? if anyone can help me that would be great i can also post pictures up. i have just screwed the last batch of seeds so i really dont wanna mess these up.

No propogator and no feeding till they have a few sets of leaves, do you have any pearlite in your coco or are you just running straight canna?

My white widows are in coco & perlite, my cheeses are in straight coco, I prefer the perlite mix. I also use Canna A & B and my ww have always preferred a light feeding schedule, so start slow and work your way up until you get it dialed in. It's too soon to be feeding them yet though, as has been said. My journal is in my sig if you're interested in seeing what I've learned as this was my first grow so it's been a proper learning curve but I'm really happy with how it's going and I'm definitely sticking with the coco. Make sure to have some calmag to hand when you do start feeding them, I wish I'd started using that earlier in veg but that has been literally my only issue with the coco. Good luck with it man :peace:

ok ill check your journal now, did they look like my other post i put up yesterday there my older ones that look ill theres some pictures?

Mine started as clones so they were never as small as yours but they did not like to be overfed and they liked to be allowed to dry out well before watering again. I actually read somewhere, might be the Canna site, that coco works best if allowed to dry well between waterings making it different from a true hydroponic setup, and my plants have definitely proved that to be true. I'd definitely add something like perlite when you transplant them cos the coco seems to stay wet longer without it.

They are fine until those little round leaves at the bottom begin to wilt away, then it's time to start slowly introducing their feed.

yer perlite is on order yeah im allowing them to dry atm there 2 inch dry at tops so im getting there. coco 1 week old seedlings moist 24/7? which brand cal-mag did you go fo?

Yeah I run straight Coco I wouldn't feed them until you get your third set of leaves but it varies strain to strain. And yeah you want to let the Coco dry out at least up to your first knuckle before you feed them again. Cal Mag is very necessary and I would run your nutrients at half strength. Are you using 24 hours of light or 18 6

I went for Vitalink Calmag, I wanted Botanicare but it's hard to get hold of in the UK.

Snap I bought the same but it might not come for next watering so I'm just going to use rhysotonic without a and b mix ( this is for the infected ones BTW) the new seedlings are good.
