really? sorry the soil comes charged with an EC 1.0 which last about 2 weeks. i gave one feed of canna vega at an EC of 1.0 then to be on the safe side i transplanted a few days later in fresh soil so it can eat up the nutes in the soil. i thought it look at little bit like the tinge you get with p.... im not sure if its that ph or nitorgen etc what should i do buddy?

Were you getting that problem before transplanting? If you were, the damaged leaves will continue to deteriorate. You can't stop it. I know I had that problem, transplanted, and was fine for about a week, but ended up loosing the bottom two leaves. These plants eat a lot...

If it continues, check your ph (still important with soil, just not as critical) if that is fine, phosphorus, it would seem.

Did you add a lot of calcium? If I remember correctly, calcium excess can cause poor phosphorus uptake.

If I googled the right one, the canna fert is 3-1-4. Might be a little low for P. I use a 6-3-7 and the only problem I have had has been ph and under feeding.
