This week the growth has really started to accelerate, although I may have knocked the plants back by a few days as I accidentally tore off one of the main branches when trying to tie them down for LST. I then did the exact same thing to the other plant so both of them unfortunately lost a main branch. The next day when I was replacing the string I originally tied them down with, for the garden soft ties that had finally arrived, I accidentally ripped one of the smaller branches that had grown from where I topped the plant. Luckily it didn’t completely rip off so I have left it as it is and have my fingers crossed it will recover. All in all, I think I have learnt I need to be far more gentle with the plants! They seem to be growing really well now though, each evening that I tied them down by morning they were fully upright and new growth is coming in fast. I can even see some of the roots coming out of the bottom of the pot and sitting in the run off so obviously it has finally developed a very good root system. The reduced quantity in each watering seems to be going well and I have increased it slightly to 800ml per plant every 2 or 3 days depending on how wet the coco looks. I also added some Jamaican bloom super concentrated PK but it did not mix well with the canna A + B so I will give that as a separate feed once or twice a week
@EZgrower, thanks so much. Just checked out your diary, it’s really impressive what you managed to do on such a budget! Guess it goes to show you don’t need to pump huge amounts of money into it to get awesome results
