I get approximately 4 Oz per plant growing two plants(5 gallon buckets) at a time with a harvest every 8-9 weeks(BC blueberry strain 600W HPS). What I do is feed 1ml each of Canna coco A and coco B + 0.5 ml of calmag per liter of water(from 2 week seedlings to harvest). All you do after is adjust pH to 5.8(pH meter) and feed 6L of water per 5 Gallon bucket every 48 hours. My growing mixture is 60% canna coco coir and 40% perlite. I mix into empty 2L Coke bottles but I don't fill all the way up to the top , I leave room for shaking properly. So 2ml of A, 2ml of B + 1ml of calmag in every 2L bottle(I don't even use my EC meter anymore)...then I need approx 6 to 8 drops of pH down(Depending on your water pH). This way my plants stay green and healthy until I start flushing, which for me, is 10-7 days prior to cutting. I should point out that by using a light feeding schedule, you shouldn't have to flush your medium throughout the entire grow as long as you have enough run offs.
The only additive I add aside from those already mentioned is PK 13-14 and I do so from the start of week 4 of flowering and I give 5 waterings of the stuff. Since I water every 48 hours only, I give the PK 13-14 mixture for 10 days. So during this time my mixture is 2ml of A, 2 ml of B, 1ml CalMag and 1ml PK 13-14(this will change the amount of pH down required).
I should also mention that I have pierced several holes in the bottom of my 5 gallon buckets with a 5/16" drill bit and sit these buckets on unpierced ones. So every time I water I have to swap the buckets that capture the run offs.
I know some of you will probably try with stronger mixes but for BC blueberry, this seems to be the magic formula! From my experience with coco, this being my 4th grow with the stuff I can tell you that their recommendations(Canna feeding chart) gave me nitrogen toxicity and nutrient burns to the point of making my first grow scrap...they will be okay at first but when they start flowering you will see the effects of over feeding them.
P.S. BC Blueberry is a great fast flowering strain and is good for people with anxiety and insomnia in my
opinion. So I recommend it for evening smokers...If you are the type who likes to "wake and bake" this strain will most likely make you feel tired and less energetic throughout the day.
