Anyone Ever Use CANNA TERRA FLORES for Flowering??

i just checked that out then done bit research on youtube and basically looks like u ave to grow em foot high this guy had plant wit say 10 nodes or more he counts out and cuts the bottom near a cluster o them 5th 1 or around that, straight cut wit scissors he says this will bush the plant into 4 new colas than 1 main stem so is tht the same as bens toppin guide let it grow a good bit 10 nodes or more then cut 5th ? is that how it develops until u can do this wit 5 th node ?cheers

i think they let it grow so it gets a good start and has plenty of leafs and a good root ball so it can recover.there's another thread and he cuts at the first node so it splits into 2 and ties the 2 down then when they grow he tops the 2 stalks and ties them and does the same again until he has 8-16 tops carnt remeber wot it's called but there mite b a link in the other topping thread.i've topped a seedling before had 2 cola's i got a picture on this site somewhere

this was my first grow i got ak47 seed out of a bag topped it at the first node and got over a oz of itView attachment 2267501

looks good was tht wit the 400w hps? c wat i cant understand is my m8 done his 1st ever grow under a 250w hps wit 5 snow-whites and got 5 oz all in which was amazin 4 a 250w, n wit no topping hhis looked good size thts why im in 2 minds as i wld ave 2 veg for good bit to get tht height 10th node etc and i wld ave 2 do it 2 all 3 as they wld b at diff stages veg wise n tht, toppin does look good tho

i started with a 70w hps security light then got a 250 but had to many heat probs so just finished in the garden.dont know how long veg but my bcheese and my brainstorm r only a couple of weeks from seed and they got 4 nodes and really started growing quick am useing a 100w lightwave with the vegging bulbs.i think 5-6 weeks but if your gunna top i'd doit when they have 5-6 nodes cose you wanna veg a bit after you've topped.so if you topped after say 3 weeks you should have 5-6 nodes then veg for anothe 2-3 weeks so it can recover and grow a bit more so your vegging for 5-6 weeks.

thanks for the rep bob

cool m8 so u dont ave 2 grow it till 10 nodes or so to do tht just the 5th or 6th, i watched tht vid again and the guy does say he is using the rest of tht cut for a mother plant...

you can top when ever you want it's just that if you let it grow abit then the roots are developed and there's more leafs so it can recover quicker

that's probs why he grew it to ten so he could use the top as a cutting

yeah cheers for ur info ill prbs bother u bit more when it gets to tht stage ha its all a learning experience

I wasn't too sure bout using Canna but this really clears alot of stuff up. are you growing in the Canna terra pro indoor potting mix??

hmm never used their soil range, canna has been an industry standard here in the uk for almost 20 years, their hydro range does the job pretty well i used it for years
i changed to vitalink max as its slightly cheaper its just as good as the canna
i would guess their soil range is no different
good choice

ok mate no probs hope i was a help

Works great. I run the whole Canna line and couldn't be happier.
