At around 5 days after showing signs of flowering. Started with canna boost now. Starting to get high RH readings so going to get something to dehumidify. These plants are getting really bushy so all good so far.
Im running the canna coco line and at the minute ive started using boost in every feed but i hear conflicting opinions of when to start using pk 13/14 so was wondering if i should use all the way through or just once as the canna website says. What do you do?
Hello @BuddingBudda! When i was working with Canna i was using the boost accelerator from week 2 of flower at every other watering ( its just humic and fulvic acids ) and the P/K during week 5 till 7 at every other watering also. Happy growing ! ๐
@ROM101 Its getting exciting hah. What were your trichomes like for you to start flushing? Nice one im rewlly looking forward to seeing your yield ๐
@BuddingBudda, mine was half clear half cloudy and went all cloudy 3 days later with a small amount of amber. I generally start flush when all trichomes are cloudy๐
@ROM101,for my next run though ive got a couple of fast buds blue dream matic. Seen a lot of good stuff about them so pretty excited to give them a try
@ROM101,thanks mate, cant quite work out how i got so much though! Im getting paranoid now thinking was i leaning on the scales or something as it cant be right ๐ cant believe it. Ive got a 3rd one on the go its about 7 weeks so will see how that one goes. Thanks mate ๐๐
@HighTV,thanks mate! Really hope so they seemed to of slowed down growth for a bit but now theyre starting to fatten up. Least for my next grow il know all this instead of getting worried ๐
Yeah don't over think it just yet. If you have and extraction fan in your tent I'd fire it up as they can help suck some of the moisture out of the air. Your girls are going to really start to stretch over the next two weeks so enjoy the ride ๐๐
@BuddingBudda, great news!! As for strain suggestions go for whatever you like the selections out there are just nuts. I've grown a fair few autos and they all offer something different. I generally go for strains I can use at different times. I like a morning or daytime smoke always at hand also a more racy strain to get me moving when needed. Then I always like a knock out strain at night time. I've been giving the Cbd strains a go lately and have found they are also really great especially during the day.๐
@ROM101, sorted my humidity its back down to 55 so i can sleep easy now haha. Getting a new extraction set up over the next couple of days just got a 6inch phresh stealth fan kit with mountain air filter because the bog standard one i got with my tent doesnt seem to be up to the job. Really noticed the stretch this last couple of days its crazy how explosive they are! So pleased i chose these as my first grow plants. Hopefully when you have all your autos havested you can recommed a strain for me ๐ still got some seeds left of a few varieties will have to try and remember what ive got lol
Hey mate as for your question about lst I'd start now and start simple as it's your first time. It's about increasing bud sites so just gently pull the main stem down to a level your comfortable with but try to get it low enough that the side branches and stems off the center grow upwards. I just try to keep the highest point of the plant even with the rest of the plant or just slightly below as this encourages the rest of the branches to push up. Don't over think it and don't overdo it first time round. You will build your confidence over time but the ladies are looking healthy and happy and that's the most important thing to start with. Enjoy your first grow and give me a yell if you have any other questions. I'm no pro but happy to share my limited experience where I can๐
@ROM101, thank you so much for your detailed response well now ive lst them both with good results really was lost didnt have a clue but as i was doing it kinda got the hang of it and turns out i was worrying for nothing! Haha one this i did realise though whilst ruffling her up and bit and tying down was how smelly this strain is! But theyre a skunkXlowryder so that probably explains it lol
@ROM101,Well thank you for the help! ๐ i can deffinitelly say il be using it on all my grows. cant believe how bushy these get, just struggling with the humidity at the minute it topped out at 75rh earlier so got a dehumidifier on the way. Really worrying, think ive read too many stories about bud rot ๐
Not long now @BuddingBudda ๐ watch the last few weeks she will pack on the weight. They finish really fast to. I had to start my flush earlier than I thought as the trichomes turned in a matter of days. I should be harvesting mine in about a week!!
hey budda you don't really want to reduce your cal mag ever because you can t really have too much of the stuff and you can really start missing it down the line. Try using boost once a week along of the PK too much boost can cause P or K lockout and could hurt down the line so you want to dial in the boost as time goes on. I really like the canna but the bioboost let me down a bit the boost is quite weak in general but somehow still has too much P in it for some reason. Wait a couple weeks before you throw it in the mix. Good luck buffen these up nicely !
