Canna Cheese 1:1 (2026) #1

GrislyOldVet Casa de Ren — Canna-Cheese 1:1 #1 Week 1 | Days 1–7 | Sept. 1–7, 2026 Overall: Healthy first week. Seed soak began Aug. 28, seed went into fresh CANNA Coco Professional Plus Aug. 31, and sprouted Sept. 1. The plant finished Day 7 actively growing with its first true leaves established and new center growth emerging. Growth/appearance: The main quirk was early stem elongation. Extra coco was added around the stem for support. Despite remaining somewhat lanky, the stem stayed upright and responded well to gentle airflow. Leaf color became slightly lime/yellow-green near the end of the week but improved without intervention. Lighting: Started around 150 PPFD, progressed through roughly 200–225, and reached about 275–280 PPFD. On Day 7 intensity was backed down to approximately 250 PPFD because of the lighter foliage color. 19/5 photoperiod. Feed/watering: Initial solution was RO + Cal-Mag at approximately EC 0.60 / pH 5.8, followed by light CANNA Coco A+B and RHIZOTONIC as growth established. Watering remained localized around the young root zone rather than saturating the entire pot, with the watering ring gradually expanded as the plant grew. Environment: Representative conditions approximately 75.5°F / 69% RH / 0.75 kPa VPD, with steady gentle airflow. Interventions/unusual observations: Early stretch prompted additional coco around the stem and gradual lighting adjustments. Interestingly, Canna-Cheese #2 subsequently showed similar elongation while Rainbow Sundae 11 remained considerably more compact in the same tent, suggesting the Canna-Cheese stretch may have a genetic component rather than being purely light-related. Week 1 takeaway: A strong establishment week with no significant problems. The best decision may have been not reacting immediately when the foliage looked slightly pale—the color improved by the following morning. Week 2 plan: Hold around 250 PPFD and let the plant show us what it wants. Watch the spacing of the new nodes, continue expanding the watering footprint with root development, and increase feed or light progressively based on plant response rather than the calendar.
