Start looking at diaries beginning with the harvests to see results before looking at methods.
Saves time
Once you find a few growers doing so as you plan, soil coco deep water etc, and follow them closely.
Read a book on growing canna as you plan to do, a high reputation for the author and book is just a requirement.
Use this site, lot of info here but read a good book is my prime directive 😉

Location of growMy outdoor grow is housed in a fence/building that's 12x12 and 8ft high.(See diary for pics). Since the trees have filled out they are blocking some direct sun. If I moved EVERYTHING over it would be a huge pain but would receive more direct sun. What would you guys do? Worth it?Week 16

Problem: two girls one tent, 40x40, an Auto and a Photo, both ~30 days old. Poor decisions and bad planning got me into this How would you proceed?Are there good options w/o killing one so the other could properly grow? Is it a good idea if I flip the light from 18 to 12 only when the Auto is done? Or my friend suggested to gradually reduce the light hours over the next two weeks to less stun the Auto? Maybe better ideas?tyOther. General questions

Staggered harvests?Two main tops and a several smaller buds deeper in the plant that are not as far along in the flowering stage as the other six main tops. I’m wondering if I should harvest the mature tops when they come ready and let the others keep maturing or if this would be too much stress.Week 8
