Looking for Advice with Nutrient Schedule and Choice of Supplements

Hi all,

I'm trying to plan my nutrient regime. I hope to gain knowledge from you veterans and maybe even a little advice. I will be growing in coco and am planning on using the Canna Coco A&B along with their Rhizotonic, Cannazym, PK 13/14, and Cannaboost. I'm also planning to supplement with Cal-Mag, Silica, and use bennies Recharge and Mammoth P. I used Canna's recommended found on their website and also measured the pH and ppm of my tap water. I found that my pH was around 9.1 and EC around .210. I assume that when adding my silica and Cal-Mag, my EC will then rise to .5, and so I have gone ahead and selected 0.5 as my tap water's EC when inputting data for the Canna personalized nutrient schedule. Please correct me if I am wrong on this assumption. I've also read that bennies don't affect your ppm. In addition, I also selected Canna's "light feeding" option.

Here are other details of my plans...

Water pH adjusted between 5.7-6.2

Recommended doses:
I wish I could post a picture of the Canna Coco A&B, Rhizotonic, Cannazym, PK 13/14, and Cannaboost schedules but sadly it is my first post and prohibited.
Summary:
Rooting/clone: 0.5 (Water EC) + 0.7 (NutrientsEC) = 1.2 EC
Veg: 0.5 (Water EC) + 0.9 (NutrientsEC) = 1.4 EC
Early Flower: 0.5 (Water EC) + 1.1 (NutrientsEC) = 1.4 EC
Mid Flower: 0.5 (Water EC) + 1.4 (NutrientsEC) = 1.9 EC
Late Flowe [flush]r: 0.5 (Water EC)
(I might even go lower than these values, should I?)

Recharge [clones/seedlings], 2.5 mL/gal
Recharge [early veg to week 2 of flower], 5 mL/gal
Silica [early veg to week 2 of flower] 2.5 mL/gal
Cal-Mag [early veg to flower week 6 on an 8 week strain], 2 mL/gal
Mammoth P [from start of flower to week 7 on 8 week strain] 1 mL/gal

Order of adding nutrients to res:
Add silica first, then cal mag, then a&b, then other supplements, then Mammoth P, then final pH adjustment, then Recharge.
I am not necessarily adding all them to the res at once throughout the duration of the plant's life, but sometime in early flower with my potential feeding schedule they will all be in the res at the same time.

Flush 1 week before harvest:
Water straight tap with no mixed nutrients.

Please let me know what you think! Any advice and criticism welcome.

All those numbers look right on point. Someone knows how to use the internet. All the products you've chosen are also very good products. One of my buddies ran canna for years.

As for the order of adding things to a res., your thinking is also right on point with the consensus of growers/internet. Not sure why you're adding Recharge last. Must be their directions. Something else you might consider is mixing each dosage of nutes into a gallon of res water in a pitcher, Then adding that to the res. Let the res mix for a few and repeat for each ingredient.

You said you're in coco but not what grow style. But I assume coco, hand watered, drain to waste? I have a 25 gallon res I fill up, ph, and let go for 24hrs. Then I add my nutes. Seem to get a more stable ph doing it this way. Once I am ph'd i normally don't have to ph for 25 gallons.
Also on pH. There has been some talk, on here and I'm sure elsewhere, about running a higher pH then once thought. 6.3+ . I am just now trying it. Maybe look into that. You have a good ec and ph meter?

I flush for 2 weeks with straight, un-ph'd tap water.

Honestly i think youll do better without using that pk13/14 on the first run


Everyone tries to over do it off the start and youll endup with a lockout from too much phosphorus

If your determanned to use it start at 1/5 reccomended dosage . But youll probably do better just not using it bud
