YOU YES YOU Canna terra???

Bushbaby11 · Apr 25, 2016

whats up guys!?

A few questions for the more experience growers on here (as im a newbie)

Im using 4x10 litre pots (with trays underneath them) in a 1metre squared tent
Using 1x600w MH light (for 5 weeks veg, will be using a HPS for the flowering stage)

6" rhino extractor

2x clip on fans, 1 for top of plants and 1 for under them (better air flow)

I will be having a 6" intake from outside (more oxygen as i believe this helps the plants aswell as lowering high temp)

Now for the questions:

1. Canna terra soil, is it any good?
(The guy in the shop said its got enough nutes in it for it to last 5 weeks, is this true?)

2. Should i use 'canna terra vega' for the vegging stage or should i not use any nutes at all (apart from whats already in the soil obviously lol)

3. Should i used 'canna terra flores' for the flowering stage? If so what other boosts would anyone recommend?

Im growing 1x lemon cheese, 1x kritkal + & 2x uk cheese

I will be topping them.
I will be deleafing them,
I will be lollipopping them and will also be using a net to train them so more light can get into the plants, is this correct?

Is there anything else i should be doing?

Any corrections and opinions are welcome lol

What sort of yields should i be expecting?

Any help will be appreciated

I would wait 3 maybe 4 weeks in veg till you give nutes or you could just wait till you start seeing a deficiency, use canna rhizo tonic from the get go for the roots

Sounds like you have a good set up from the start for your space. I cant speak for the terra because Ive mostly used canna coco which is inert. You will know if they are not getting enough nutes overall, they will pale off and start eating themselves one leaf at a time. You will know way before that happens though in veg and you can deal with it as it happens. I find the canna grow charts to be very good for most strains.
As for yield its a hard thing to put a figure to. But given you are vegging for 5 weeks with 600mh(possibly overkill) you should have some tight nodes and some very big plants. You can train them however you like. The real explosion will come in the first two weeks of flower. They may be hard to keep control of with only 1mx1m with 4 plants. I have done plenty of 4 week veg with 4 plants per 600hps with 1.2 m x 0.8m but that was with cooltubes 3 inline in a 2.4m long space. Cooltubes are crap for coverage and even light spread. You will find a better spread with standard reflector or a single sealed hood type.
So figures, nobody likes to but a number on it, dry weight to some is damp to others, for me bone dry is what I like! You could pull 3-5oz per plant at a guess. You probably wont hit 5 if you end up cramped for space(Lets say aim for 3-4oz P/P) although its hard to say because I don't defoliate much nor have I ever lollipopped anything. No point me starting that argument though, needless to say there's opinions from both sides.
If you find you struggle to keep them under control you could build a solid scrog style net out of garden canes and tie them down where needed.
Regardless of how you go about it... Good luck. Its an exciting time for you!
