I used Canna nutrients for the first time last year and had a good harvest keeping it simple. I used A&B the whole grow, rhizotonic until early flower, pk 13/14 for flower week 5 and Canna Boost for all of flower until the last two weeks. No real boosters with super high p and k. If you go with boosters, try fox farm solubles (Open Sesame, Beastie Bloomz and Cha Ching). I know a few growers that really like that line for flowering. Good Luck.

Thanks... how many mls of boost do you use? Do you up the dose a lil every week?

Sorry, can't find my notes but I think it was around 5ml/gallon and I did not increase every week.

Having grown in dwc for the past 5 years, I’ve now switched to coco. And am using AN ph perfect coco.
I must say, I’m impressed! Their only in veg but haven’t added any cal/mag at all and plants (about 6 different strains) are showing no sign of cal deficiency.
I dose at half strength with plenty of runoff and all plants show no sign of nute burn or deficiencies.
Super easy not worrying about ph.
People complain that AN cost more than other nutes that do the same job and it’s probably true.... but if it is sure to work then the extra $ is a drop in the ocean when harvest is here imo.

Sounds good man! Ensure you have a decent amount of runoff and watch your plants closely. If leaves start looking a little light in colour, up your nute strength slightly, if looking a little dark or the leaf tips are just starting to burn, drop nute strength slightly.
And remember with boosters that a little goes a long way. Too much and you will start getting lock out.
Good luck Doomboy

Whats good about coco is you can try different nutes ,comparison so one gets cheap nutes.I buy powdered nutes their cheap and work just fine.

I just use calcium nitrate, a micronutrient blend and MKP. Maybe a little extra magnesium sulfate and potassium sulfate mid flower if I remember but I don't know if it really matters as the micronutrients and MKP provide adequate amounts of both. That's what I've been using for years. Before that I used the "Name" brand cannabis specific nutrients. My grows got better once I went with just basic nutrients. Cannabis is just another plant. Once I realized that and started treating it like one instead of some special difficult to grow entity things just got better and my wallet was happy as well. Many of the issues people have is due to over fertilization and the application of too many things they don't need. The biggest threat to a successful harvest is the grower.

Just use the same recipe you're using now, with the possible add-on of PK 13/14. One thing I liked about Canna when I ran it, was the equal parts A & B from veg through bloom.

It’s always good to save money where you can. Currently have an outdoor grow of 20 plants going and I’m finding I use ALOT more nutes in coco, always watering with run off as opposed to dwc.
But I suppose it’s worth it for me, watering twice a day when hot, the ph perfect takes a lot of work out not having to always adjust my ph.
