Grew well, even managed to withstand a week of neglectful bare minimum care when the gardener was sick.
Smell was great and a bit unique. Buds are larfy but the only thing left to blame it on I think might be I need a more powerful light.
Really loving the Canna for Peat so far. 1-star less for the PK 13/14 because as a still fairly new grower I find it hard to know when that one magical mystery week is supposed to be
Happy with the results and plan to continue using. Access remains a challenge where I live in that is only available in the spring - have to buy/store what I hope or estimate will last a full year.
Was a good cycle with Blue Dream. The had some challenges to absorb, I was out of town for a week then sick for a week upon return.
Topped them both on day 22 and harvested day 85 & 93
Variety of opinions in the landscape with regard to watering to run-off when growing in peat or coco and perlite. Of course that makes testing exit EC a challenge. Asking for opinions - are the EC meters that have a probe to read substrate EC/salts any good? Is that the solution?
I don't think you really need a substrate EC pen, the benefit is in controlling the EC going into the medium "feeding solution" and minoring it coming out not checking when its in the medium, so many things will alter that reading from hot spots with different densities to amount of water saturated in its sample. and its best to water with some runoff when using hydro nutrients to prevent salt buildup as it will happen, no feeds perfect.
I have seen PH probes for substrates and they can be useful, but more so for fields and larger grows. If your PH is off the bigger issue is fixing it, my last grow has something weird growing in the medium and its PH kept drifting down. I would water with PH 8, and runoff was 5.5 no matter how much PH up i used it would reset to 5.5 and lower, also used HP mix for that one. I do not like only peat, much bigger fan or coir and perlite.
You can also make a slurry of the medium and use the other pens to find your mediums EC/PH if your curious. Any times your sticking things into the medium your damaging the roots. and some plants really don't like that, autos being one of them.
Soil grows or things grown in earth are a different ball game.
Good Luck!
I hope you are well again! The plant will turn out great anyways. I think she's looking great 😊 All the best for your health and a smooth finish of this run 🌱🌞🍀
@1kodah, Thats great buddy! Most important that you are well again. Yeah the jars will fill by itself with every run. 😁 Burping stress definitely is a life goal 😂😂
@Herbie101,thank you for such kind words, we are surely on the way to feeling well again. I am truly grateful the plants are at least still alive and we will still have a harvest to cherish. With each grow we learn and that's the important part. Someday we'll be able to complain about "too many jars to burp" lol - life goals haha
