Anyone have it dialled in with canna?

Care to share please?

I've been using it without an ec pen so I've always played it safe and never pushed it.
I have p def signs in week 6 flower and wondering if they want more pk13/14)

Per 1 litre
How much a+b you use from week 1-5?
How much pk do you use?
How much a+b do you top up the PK with?

I added 1.5ml per litre the first feed and backed of to half that the 2nd feed and now I have p def signs. But I also have cold night temps that could be the cause.

Im not looking for an answer to fix my plants I already have a post in the plant problems for that and it's been answered.

I just want to know how far you push it and have no problems?

There's folks running at 1EC and folks running at 2EC and they all grow healthy plants.

I used to follow the whole schedule for a few years and your far more likely to run into problems at higher strength than lower.
Also it depends on how often you water, every other day, once a day, 5 times a day...

I run about 1.5ml per litre and up to 2ml in flower , that puts me around 1.4EC in flower.
I add 0.5ml per ltr of PK13/14 around week 4-6 , prefer a low dose longer than a big dose for a week.
Last week I chuck in a dose of cannazym because I recycle my coco and it helps break roots down when the plant is dead.

For me the key is to feed light and often with run off and that way you keep salt build up to a minimum and thus zero deficiencies.

I have done whole runs with just A+B at 1.2EC without any other nutrients and not seen deficiencies.

@gr865 don't you use Canna too?

Hi Bandit,
I use GH Maxi series and feed Maxibloom peaking at 700ppm by week5 or so. That's a powdered nute but a good bloom ratio n(5-15-14)

Hey in the picture...those leaves on the right bottom. That white is merely reflected light...correct?

You really need an EC/TDS meter. Your plants look good.

Hi, Yes that's just light reflection. I added the pic to show the purple on the leaf and I do have other signs of it
