what if bananas are not enough??Next steps and deficiencies?
ActionJoshstarted grow question 2 years ago
I am writing to enquire about if any of you used water from banana peels throughout the life cycle of the plant, is able to provide (NPK) the required demand of seedlings and avoid deficiencies in later phases because it uses rainwater ??Thanks in advance

If banana peel water is the only nutrient you're providing, the answer is a resounding "no" - that alone will not provide the necessary NPK... it's basically only giving the plant a bit of potassium.... You'll need to provide it a LOT more than that. If you want to grow organically, there are several nute lines specifically formulated for growing weed that are all organic... or you can try to be your own chemist and concoct a regime for yourself...
Good luck!

I only used rainwater with Canna nutrients, it was in the initial phase, there was nothing to complain about, only later the problems started, (B) (Mn) the second time I used rainwater only for seeds, the rest was tap water and there were practically no deficiencies but I focus on ecology, although better results are obtained with tap water, after a short thought I decided to use Biobizz starter fertilizers, see what will happen:)

nope.. and rainwater isn't magical. it has not special properties compared to tap water. in fact it is likely acid rain and worse for your plant.

Water vs NutrientsI eventually would like to start adding nutrients to her feedings and wanted to know does it matter what type of water the nutrients are added to, for example: distilled, tap, RO? Or is it just the pH of the water that is important?Week 2

First time testing PPM and slightly panicked :cRunoff was at 2200PPM. I flushed her with 5L of pH 5.8 water. I got the runoff to 1000PPM where I left it. The pH was at 7 though and was higher than before the flush. Why is that? I always pH before watering. Also, is the flush going to cause trouble for her? I kind of panicked.5 years ago

FloraKleen during flowerCoco grow. Almost 6 weeks into flower. Plants are healthy. EC of drain last few days has been high: 2.5 to 3.0. I fertigate daily, EC 1.8. Before, EC of runoff was never higher than 2.0. Can I do a small flush with FloraKleen and then fertigate with regular solution? Any Risks?Feeding. Chemical composition

Coco and PPM runoff readings!Hiya Folks 😊
With regards to feeding in Canna Coco Plus and using Canna nutrients.
I'm watering with the correct amounts for the particular phase I'm in and everything PH and PPM wise is spot on......
If my PPM runoff is constantly higher should think about feeding less nutes?Week 6

Can I use NPK of 2-3-3 for flowering phase?I found in the store a liquid fertiliser only for flowering plants with a NPK ratio of 4-6-6, so a lot of potassium and phosphorus which are good for the flowering phase.
I was thinking about feeding the plant with this, halving the dose reaching a 2-3-3 ratio.
Is it good?Week 9
