    Confused by nutes and schedules

    Ok cheers dude. I guess the chart is a guide but I need to watch the plants and respond accordingly. Thanks for the tip 're lighting. When I'm back home I'll put the lights back on and leave em on. Thanks again!

    Confused by nutes and schedules

    Sorry I don't understand... are you saying I should follow the chart or I shouldn't? I'm referring to the customised chart on canna.com. It seems to concur with your dosage - says to work up to a max of 23 ml per litre. Exhaust is a single five inch fan. It's not the greatest and it's very...

    Sorry, thought I had responded but hadn't hit reply! They are in a 120 cm sq tent (1.8m high). Passive air intake from a duct next to an open window. Exhaust via carbon scrubber to roof vent. Currently under a 250 W metal halide, will go under 600W sodium for flowering. Today's update...

    Cool cheers cottee, you're being a great help on this. I think the feed yesterday was too far on the cautious side and I want to get them going now as they are two weeks old. Hopefully the stronger feed today will kick them in the ass and they will get going now. Not all of them are newly...

    Confused by nutes and schedules

    Also the bottle says to leave it out to sit several hours before watering. I am not bothering, is this an issue? Tap water isn't very chlorinated here and received wisdom says I should give plants freshly oxygenated water for the roots to thrive. I am using watering can not a water butt...

    Splashing leaves?

    This is Canna Coco a&b with a third party root tonic. A&B at just under 1/4 strength and root tonic at normal dose. Light is a metal halide 250W that is about 2 ft from the top of the plants. I have a large-ish desk fan oscillating to blow them dry. I just rewatered and even with a smaller...

    Splashing leaves?

    Growing in coco, I thought you had to water the whole pot until you get runoff so you know it has flushed through, and so you can test runoff ph?

    Splashing leaves?

    Sorry for yet another daft question.... my 2 week old seedlings are already in their final pots. I ummed and ahed and thought what's the point of multiple stressful transplants and buying more pots when I have these pots right here? But now I read that watering the plants and the liquid...

    Meant to say as well, the new growth today is looking really, really pale. Not burnt looking, just sorry looking. I'm thinking they probably need some food, being more than two weeks old and growing in coco. To recap, so far they have had one feed of 0.05ml per litre and are two weeks old...

    Confused by nutes and schedules

    Five days?! Really? Goes against everything I've read about growing in coco, all the guides seem to suggest watering every 1-2 days in veg and twice to once a day in flower, depending on how much they are drinking. Obviously they aren't drinking much at the moment, but I figure they could do...

    Confused by nutes and schedules

    Also I'm not running from clone and they aren't in a humidity dome, they are all planted up with 2-3 sets of leaves each, but still defiantly slow despite today marking 2 weeks since they went under the MH lamp 24 hours a day. Surely I should be seeing more explosive growth by now? Most of the...

    Confused by nutes and schedules

    Haha thank crap for that I was worried for a while. More for my back having to do the watering again than the plants! Bad news though, I knocked my hygrometer in the waste tray and it's dead. Gonna have to wing until tomorrow, sure it'll be fine though.

    Confused by nutes and schedules

    2ml per 10 litres - that's ok isn't it? I want to be sure here - you are saying I should feed less than 2ml per 10 litres? So 0.5 ml per 10 litres, or 0.05ml per litre?

    Confused by nutes and schedules

    Thanks Captain Hindsight! ;) soz couldn't help. Yeah, I'm with you there. Too late now, I will just have to learn the hard way! I've bought a better, more accurate ph testing kit (the other was a 4-8 kit, this is 6-7 in .1 increments). I am testing the solution I pour in, should I be...

    Confused by nutes and schedules

    Cr4p! Explained the situation to the bloke in shop and he suggested 2ml. Should I flush? Just spent an hour and a half going back and forwards with 10 litre watering cans then pumping out the waste back to cans to take downstairs and drain, but if I need to flush this stupid mistake out...

    Confused by nutes and schedules

    Right I have planted up so all six plant pots are full now. I had to decide to cull 3 blueberry seedlings. One of them was a close call between that and a bubba kush. The BK showed more promise up top but the blueberry had a hell of a root coming out the bottom of the rockwool. I am keeping...

    PS I am just planting the 4" rockwool blocks straight in the coco, burying about halfway. is this right? I shouldnt be breaking the blocks off should I?

    Confused by nutes and schedules

    Most are still in rockwool blocks, but I have planted a few. I am going to transplant the rest today and kill off the shitty seedlings as they are just in the way and dying. I was told to put the plugs into 4" blocks then plant them in coco. Seems daft, next time I will go straight from plugs...

    Confused by nutes and schedules

    Thanks dude. The babies need a water today. I'm going to the shop to get some canna a+b. Unsure whether to use it just yet. I fed them some nutes a few days ago, real weak stuff (1/4 strength vitalink max) and it killed a few of my seedlings (fussy feeding blueberrys). Should I give my...
