Both seeds have been quickly dipped in water and place into a presoaked jiffy pellet. I cannot express proper values of nutrients via the tools provided on this website but for my germination seedlings this was the process.. I started with 1L of tap water left uncovered 24hrs for evaporation of chlorides. I then added formulex alongside canna rhiz (drop for drop) until e.c. reads 0.4, and then Ph to 6.3. Once solution is made I soaked jiffy pellets in this until they’ve sucked up as much as possible. Then removed and drained excess water. I quickly dipped the seeds in the solution and planted straight into jiffy pellets and placed into propagator until sprouted. The water in the he jiffy should last 3-4 days and should be suffice for the seed until then so I’m told. Obviously don’t let it dry out completely water if need. A week later I’m starting this blog and only 2 have sprouted. I’ve dug out checked and binned the seeds that didn’t amount to nothing. But hey 2 is better than 0 !!

Feed Started With Tap Water Left Overnight For Chlorine/Chlorides To Evaporate. Next Day. Starting EC of our water is 0.15. I added 1ml of Rhiz Per Litre. Then Used Canna Terra Vega Until EC measured 0.4. I then used the mighty growth enhancer drop by drop until my EC measured 0.7 Finally i PH'd the mix to 6.2. Made sure the feed was of adequate temp and continued to feed. Next Two Feeds Are Just PH Water with a few drops of Rhiz 😎

Same age different heights ? Maybe becuause one took two weeks to germinate ? anyway.... Roots were showing on one earlier this week so ive repotted into final large pot. Feed is roughly 600-750ml every 3 Days for this sized pot :) Feed Started With Tap Water Left Overnight For Chlorine/Chlorides To Evaporate. Next Day. Starting EC of our water is 0.15. I added 1ml of Rhiz Per Litre. Then Used Canna Terra Vega Until EC measured 0.4. I then used the mighty growth enhancer drop by drop until my EC measured 0.7 Finally i PH'd the mix to 6.2.

@bobo420, yeah i get ya, was thinking it was to do with over vegging maybe ? the canna flores should stil carry N though im sure
DinafemSeeds
DinafemSeedscommented7 years ago
@bobo420, this is one reason we recommend that you still continue to give a vegative feed high in nitrogen, calcium and magnesium as these are used up by the plant in the stretch phase so need replenishing :) Good point mate and thank you for your input. This is what makes a great community. Knowledgeable growers happy to share their experiences and knowledge :) Thanks mate very useful info :) All the best Mark..

@bobo420, Gotcha ! Thanks man 😎
bobo420
bobo420commented7 years ago
@Lennys_Laboratory, you can veg her for as long as you'd like, but when she starts to stretch she starts growing more aggressively and can intake even more than in normal veg growth. Once the stretch is over, she doesn't have that much need for N
bobo420
bobo420commentedweek 117 years ago
She's having a slight N def, it can happen while stretching, I've noticed you stopped giving her veg nutrients, you might want to slowly decrease it in the next week or two as she can use the nutes ;)

Hey Lenny looks like we are growing the same strain! She doesn't stretch much but mine just started Week 4 bloom and the buds are already super dense. Following.

@bobo420, thanks mate. I normally use paper towel and glass of water but have been instructed by dinafem how to germinate their seeds and only cake with 40% success as appose to normal rates I get (80-90+%). Thanks tho will follow back :)

Silasbotwincommentedweek 57 years ago
Good idea 😊 Don't hesitate to let them grow a bit in veg,( most ) PAK stay very short and bearly stretch, from what i have observed anyway. Keep up the good work 👍🏼😊

@JUNGLE_B4RNS, Haha yeah man i get that all the time in my local shop as im in soil too. My first ever bit of advice was Ph 6.2 EC 0.7...... i then had to learn wtf ec was and got acquainted with the probe 😁 only ever had the most minor burns ! if anthing claw and twist from N would be most wrong ive had so far

@DinafemSeeds, Hey Mark 💪 a bit ff space is soon to be free so the taller of the two will hit 12/12 and ill veg the smaller one for an extra week, i think theres a weeks difference in age too hence the size diff.. but yeah thanks for the heads up ! can wait to see the beauty 😎
DinafemSeeds
DinafemSeedscommented7 years ago
@Lennys_Laboratory, Not long now mate. I would give one more week of vegative growth then go into 12/12 ;) This is going to be one very cool flower show :) Can't wait and you'll be very pleased I'm confident in that :) Looking good mate :) All the best Mark..
