Canna Coco A & B questions

[Fevs.]

I grow in 12 litre coco hempy buckets. I'm currently using Canna Coco a & b. I have a few questions. When I start plants off I feed them less ec, does it still have enough calcium and magnesium in at 1/4 strength or does it need some adding?

At full strength with a & b ec is 1.6 and ph 6.0 mixed with my tap water. Tap water is less than 100ppm. It doesn't even register on the wand, but ph is higher than 8 always.

I'm trying to get dialled in. I'm growing autoflowers currently whilst vegging normal plants. I worry 1.6ec is way too high for them, but then worry they will Not be getting the calcium and magnesium they need if I fed them at half strength.

Any thoughts please?

I use canna and add epson salt with no issues.

Ok, is that Canna a & b or Canna coco a & b? Do you use full strength nutes? How much epsom salts do you add? I grow in coco and coco nutes have more cal mag in, so I shouldn't need to add any. My concern is am I Not adding enough cal mag if I'm feeding at half strength...

I add half strength canna every other watering. I also use some other additives when necessary. Fish emulsion, epson salt, greensand, big swell, enzymes, molasses. All plants are going to handle diffrent amount of nutrients. Start with half and bump it up a small amount if you have no negative effects. Or if you are happy with the growth keep it at half.

I have decided to feed full strength nutes. Canna coco a&b only and it's ec 1.4 for my autoflowers. They are loving full strength feeds.

It's like they were running in slow motion until full strength feeds. I think I've been reading too much bro science. I think as I'm getting plenty of run off they are just loving it. No salt build up.

So are Cream Mandarins




All this time I've been wondering what's up lmao. The little pussy feeds that I was doing were just enough. Not enough for them to thrive, but enough for them to live.

The cream mandarins will yield a fuck load by the looks of things
