First grow, so not sure what to expect. It was a freebie seed. I did my best to kill it while it was a seedling by roasting it over 99 F ... 2x. I basically had assumed it was dead or near death but it kept on going. Couldn't say the same about the NL #5. I managed to kill that one off. This plant didn't have much of a smell nor any frost to excite the eyes. It was dense plant though. I luckily had no disease, or maybe more realistically didn't identify any. But I had no surprises. It seemed healthy, and it lived.

Easy to use for a noob. Pricey though for the set. I ended up using about 85% of the A+B and roughly 50% of the Cannazym. 40% of the Rhizo and Boost. and barely used any 13/14. 4 months about 1 gallon increasing to 2 gallons per day during flower for the final weeks. All 1 liter bottles. Using Canna light feeding schedule.
I didn't identify any Cal-Mag issues. So I guess it's doing it's job. AFAIK the Silica was supposed to strengthen the stems. I had some bulging looking knuckles on all of the offshoot stems.
I really have nothing to compare this against. It was just added to the mixture. Not sure if it helped or hindered. And I haven't smoke tested to see if there was an aftertaste.

Not sure the taste cause I haven't smoked it yet. Still waiting on a real cure. Also I did a real shit job of segregating the 2 plants while chopping them. So this is my best guess as to breakdown by eyeballing / smell test the nugs to differentiate them. I ended up with what I deemed 61 grams of dense nugs, and 50 grams of larfy buds dryish. I never took a weight when it was wet. I'm realizing now the direction I bent the main stem during LST was incorrect as there was a huge cola sitting under the shadow of the main growth. I didn't even notice it until I pulled the plant out, and by then it had been flushed for about a week. They dried for about 4 days. The buds aren't as dry as I would like so there is still some moisture to be lost. (The larfy stuff still clumps together in the jar and tapping inst enough to separate them, so they could be drier) But yea kinda holy shit moment because I was looking at worse case scenario 1 oz per plant with 4 plants. And this one plant came out to be about 4oz albiet with some moisture still. I'll update the weights and taste when they are ready.

@Philindicus, Hey thanks for the tip. After the flush it seemed to have worked itself out. I think the camera makes it look a little worse off than it really is. Up until around that point I had been keeping religious tabs on the run off and never was +200 of what I poured in. It may have been the temp of the water. As it changes with ambient and I mix enough for 2 days worth of watering and didn't really check that often on the second day to make sure it was still in range. I can't imagine it would change that much really, I'm using RO water and generally wait about 30m for the silica to dissolve.

Some gorgeous looking buds on that lady. Very nice work. Good luck with the rest of your grow. Grow on.

This is incredible work! I am also blown away that this was your first attempt at any kind of garden. one question: were you using RO/distilled water? I'm shocked you were able to use the Canna nutrients at the label recommended strength for these autos without any burning, etc... Again, truly incredible work. I'll be watching your future grows with keen interest!

@samadhi, Hey thanks. Definitely surprised myself with how relatively pain free this process has been. Should have really started a lot sooner haha. Just did a lot of reading and research to get a general idea of what I was doing. But thankfully the process is documented pretty well with forums / youtube / discord. I definitely used RO water, simply because I wanted to eliminate variables as much as I could for my first grow. My tap is pretty decent at 200ppm, so I may change it up next grow using Jacks 321 to hopefully keep costs down. Because as far as I can tell, nutes are nutes. And I'm not skilled enough to chase that extra % of perfection. As far as the feeding schedule, I followed Canna website recommendations for a "light" feeding schedule adjusted for PPM per their calculator. And with this I rounded down when it was convenient for me. i.e. 32 ML of A and B per 4 gallons. I just used 30ML because it was easier to measure. Granted I'm a bit lazy. I really only started watering 2x a day these last 2 weeks. For most of their life, I just watered till run off once a day. About 1 - 1.5 gallons per 2 plants. Thanks again!
