@samadhi, Hey thanks. Definitely surprised myself with how relatively pain free this process has been. Should have really started a lot sooner haha. Just did a lot of reading and research to get a general idea of what I was doing. But thankfully the process is documented pretty well with forums / youtube / discord. I definitely used RO water, simply because I wanted to eliminate variables as much as I could for my first grow. My tap is pretty decent at 200ppm, so I may change it up next grow using Jacks 321 to hopefully keep costs down. Because as far as I can tell, nutes are nutes. And I'm not skilled enough to chase that extra % of perfection.
As far as the feeding schedule, I followed Canna website recommendations for a "light" feeding schedule adjusted for PPM per their calculator. And with this I rounded down when it was convenient for me. i.e. 32 ML of A and B per 4 gallons. I just used 30ML because it was easier to measure. Granted I'm a bit lazy. I really only started watering 2x a day these last 2 weeks. For most of their life, I just watered till run off once a day. About 1 - 1.5 gallons per 2 plants.
Thanks again!
@Philindicus, Hey thanks for the tip. After the flush it seemed to have worked itself out. I think the camera makes it look a little worse off than it really is. Up until around that point I had been keeping religious tabs on the run off and never was +200 of what I poured in. It may have been the temp of the water. As it changes with ambient and I mix enough for 2 days worth of watering and didn't really check that often on the second day to make sure it was still in range. I can't imagine it would change that much really, I'm using RO water and generally wait about 30m for the silica to dissolve.
