Looks great man, I have 4 jacks coming down this next week. They didn't produce well, but damn they look amazing. I'll keep it around for some personal. 
I also had a pretty interesting discussion with my grow store buddy about Canna and BioCanna. The Canna rep was in and my buddy had asked him some questions that I had bombarded him with, basically asking why customers (*read me) are having so many problems with early nitrogen deficiency in early flowering, and basically what the guy said was that the BioVega is having problems and they actually recommend that people use Terra Vega for the Veg and then go to Bio Flores for the Flowering cycle because the Vega is highly lacking in Nitrogen and you have deficiency problems because the plant does not have enough Nitrogen to store, so when you flip it to flowering, an already deficient plant is looking for Nitrogen that isn't there. I found this interesting and a lot of things became clearer after I talked to my buddy. I am going in tomorrow to see if I can catch the guy while he is there again to talk to him personally about the BioCanna line.
I have tried to get in contact with Canna about the BioCanna line and the last time I checked they were not accepting questions... If my end product hadn't turned out good, I probably would have dropped Canna based on Customer service alone. The answers I have gotten from them in the past have been vague and not generally useful.
I guess I'll be adding some Nature's Nectar Nitrogen to my veg line up. It was pretty interesting because lately I have been having 2 problems. My plants were Nitrogen deficient, but they looked on the verge of nutrient burn also. I upped my Vega to counteract the Nitrogen deficiency, but started to push the levels of my Potassium and Phosphorus which cause the mottled spots on the leaves that looked like they were about to burn. It was pretty interesting to hear that stuff today though. Hopefully I'll be able to catch this so called "Canna Rep." I thought that this elusive species was all but extinct. I was beginning to think that Ralph B. was the only person that worked at Canna, lol.

Lesson 1.) Calcium, adding lime to soil now. Lesson 2.) Nitrogen, I'll start adding some Cottonseed Meal or Worm Castings to the mix. What kind of amendment dosage would you recommend to start? I typically start plants in 1gal pots and then transfer into 7-20 Gallon pots.
