1st Grow

@Gotcha,perfect 👍

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, Thanks for your input. Yes 3-4 seems about right at the moment, now they are a bit larger they seem to be drinking a bit more so have started doing a water 3 times a week, I gave them a major flush just after they started flowering to get rid of any salts build up and now do a 1.5 litre feed twice til there is just a little run off and once a week a 3 litre feed with loads of run off. I figure the major flush should take care of any salt build up for a month or so. The major flush is 24 litres of plain water ph'd to 6.1 and to finish the flush 3 litres of nuted water. With all the additives I've had to drop the Canna A & B back to 3.5ml per 3 litres otherwise there is nut burn on the tips and some leaf curling. At the lower level of A&B plus the additives shown above those symptoms don't happen. The A&B level is way below what Canna recommends for light feeding and I haven't been able to find any information or a good feeding chart for hand watering in coco. I have found a lot of people who are complaining that the Canna feeding charts are too hot which is exactly what I have found. If anyone knows of a good feeding schedule chart for hand watering in coco I would appreciate you sharing that info. It does seem however that this can vary from strain to strain, it is the LSD-25 that is showing the nut burn and leaf curf....nothing seems to phase the Crystal Meth I am growing alongside the LSD-25! All plants are in flower now but bud growth is still slow!

@420Growerboi, Things seem to be ok now and my plants are beginning to flower so now I am feeding every water, once a week I feed with more water so there is a good flush but with nutrients. Feeding 3 times a week now.

@Gotcha, The flowers are supposed to be purple, not the stems.... 😅 Maybe it's just a bad pheno.

@PigBearMan, the strain is LSD-25. It is a purple strain......genetically bred to be purple! Am feeding extra PK 13/14 during flowering.

@GrueneHand, Thanks, I need it!

@GrueneHand, thanks. Looks like I will need it.

@DabCrab, I hope you're right, not having done auto's before and being over 30 years since I grew I just don't know what to expect. It all seems to be happening very slowly and well behind what I see in other peoples grows of the same strain. Battling high daytime temps as well. Got a good portable air con but summer is setting in and it's getting harder to keep the temps down in the room. Much hotter days are on the way soon. I tried to up the nutrients by half a ml but saw slight tip burn immediately, growth slowed again and slight clawing, so have decided less is more and will be dropping the main nutrients back to 4ml A&B as of next feed, will keep other additives where they are.

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, Yes I figured it was that or over watering. I bumped up the nutes by 1ml. I've been feeding 4ml of A and B Canna when the schedule says 6.8ml, they are happy at 4ml but I figured as the plant gets bigger it should handle more so I bumped up by 1ml to 5ml and that happened. Have watered again with ph'd water and a small amount of Epsom Salts. Also sprinkled a small amount of powdered egg shells for calcium on to of the medium and watered it all in.
