friggin A jberry i seriously love canna! it never ceases to amaze me, my 4 1/2 day old sprouts are bigger than most peoples at a week and a half.

i really wish i could use 100% coco and canna nutes on my querilla grow but its just not practical :cry:. i have to cut it and use my FF nutes which i always seem to burn with. im def not gonna give them more than 1/4 strength for the entire grow.

i will be doing an auto jock horror in 100% coco in my yard tho. i dont know if you have any autoflower experience but how do you think i should use the feeding schedule. i was thinking of just using the amounts for veg for the first 2-3 weeks untill i see hairs and then switching to bloom.

anyways just felt like showing a little canna love in the canna thread!

later

so....1 week old plants, in coco pro plus, should you water everyday? Keep checking when the pots are light? use canna a and b as well as Rhizo?

Thanks Rockstar, its Blue Dream and it will be one of the last times I grow it... even though its a real hard worker... it is pretty much a staple in my area and it is priced at damn near mid-grade strain prices even though most people would agree that its quality is a solid 8.5-9.0

It's just saturated here... people will actually ask for "anything but the dream".... The fact that it does so well outdoors causes additional problems in the fall, winter, and these days even the spring :(

The clubs just got a new ruling past 6-0 allowing them 3,000 sq. ft. of canopy grow space at commercial electricity rates ! At the same time they set a limit on the amount of clubs allowed in town and will not allow any new clubs to open... -Now, they wont need to buy medicine from the home grower/"patent vendor" anymore and they will pretty much put everyone out of business real quick while they make ten times as much $$ for their "passionate care". Plus they will pretty much control the majority of the strain market. We as growers really are coming to the end of the marijuana boom (at least in Cali)... Nobody is thinking of how mj becoming legal is going to effect the growers and breeders who have dedicated their lives to this industry... Step aside for government and marlboro to run the show :(
Cool for them, and any person with no connection that wants to spend $60 an eighth, but shitty for everyone else imo.

Growing in coco you rarely need to go much above a 2.0 EC but generally speaking I would say 1.8 - 2.2 should get you in the acceptable range on the higher side... if you need to go stronger for some reason then try taking it up to 2.4-2.8 but thats as high as I would go and this would probably show signs of overdose on most strains and indoor plants unless they are really big or heavy feeders.

I usually peak out around 2.0 or soo for blooming.

Right on, I'm glad to hear the feedback... It's nice to hear that my advise actually helped raise someones yield... Good stuff.
Thanks for the +Rep also... people ask me a lot of questions, but I don't get anyone giving me rep very often when compared to the amount of questions I'm answering lol.

Mag might be a part of your problem but it looks like a few issues combined... I have an idea of whats happening but lets get to the bottom of it...

got a pic of a leaf that is just starting to get the def? does it start with the tips, edges, or with brown/yellow spots? or fading between leaf veins?
how much calcium is in your water?

what part of the plant did the problem start... top? bottom, middle? - new growth or old growth??

also what nutes and additives r u using and how much?

pH? EC?

is it causing your leaves to grow smaller than usual? brittleness? or any other side effects? leaves curling up? or down?

great buds jberry! am really impressed. U said u use 1k W. What is a dimension of you grow room then?
Lately I have been using a 1000w hps per 4X4 tray, but I do have a couple of 6' trays with with two 1000w hps over each 6 ft. tray... For security reasons, I rather not tell you my dimensions and all that, and as tempting as it is to post pics of my set up, I just cant justify doing stuff like that in my situation... I get paranoid everyday and consider removing the few pics that I have posted here lol.

It is really just a safety measure to avoid unwanted attention...It is a totally legit and legal medical grow and I am a legit medical grower protected under prop 215 and various county laws...
I always make sure to follow the general attorneys guidelines, I just happen to live where you can legally do a lot more than other counties and I need a lot of medicine for my health conditions :)

Anyhoo, I supplement every 1000 watts of HPS with 100 watts of T5 floros to reduce stretch and increase yield and shorten node spacing... I do this using 400 watt T5's but you could use several smaller watt T5's... You can also increase the effects by increasing the T5 wattage to 130 watts of T5 floros to every 600 watts of HPS (I use about half that because that is what is convenient for my situation)
