Grow setup tips needed

I found the pH terribly unstable I stick with two part canna a+b is a solid nutrient hassle free, you only risk burning them if you over do it, get a tds meter and you can't go far wrong.
Your environmental is very important for healthy growth.

also how frequently would i feed them the canna a+b do i just mix it in my water and feed through that

sounds good i just thought canuck knew what he was talking about also i plan on getting 3 gallon fabric pots do i just put holes on the bottom for run off and put trays underneath

Ive seen many follow canucks ideas and not many do well. Ive also seen some of his plants.


No need to put holes in the bottom, just water slowly so the coco fully saturates, have a catch tray underneath and shop vac it up or mop it up. Don't let plants sit in run off.

You can top feed but it’s a slower feeding process

ive just heard using liquid fert can be risky for burning your plants but ill definitely go for it i just need to find a proper feeding schedule

Burning the plants comes from bad plant conditions and too much feeding

so it will run off through the fabric?

Yep, just water slow, if you were hand watering then half water and then a few min later the other half.
This stops the water just running out of the sides.

Every time you water you use nutrients.

My medium of choice is coco choir. Ive watched a lot of fert videos and i want to go with dry amendments and put some in the medium before i grow and mix it around.

I've seen a lot of coco growers try mr. canuck's dry amendment method in the last year or so.........I can't think of one that didn't have problems and have a successful grow.

Coco is hydroponics.......not soil. Dry amendments are for soil, regardless of what mr. canuck says.

Good luck......you'll need it.

Follow Mr Canna coco, ionic or similar and you can't go far wrong really coupled with the right conditions, mix a+b in equal parts and feed, the pH is the same in the tank after a week it's a good nutrient.
Growth Technology Ionic 1 part is also superb, it's pH is also rock solid and it's the most hassle free nutrient you can imagine, x amount per litre and feed and it's good most importantly, for me both are oh 6.0 using tap water.
I like ionic for its hassle free but it's more expensive give me either canna or ionic I'd recommend either one.

Usually about 60-70% of what the recommended dosage is.
I use 1.2ec in veg, 1.4ec in flower.
