GROWING organic with BIO CANNA

Summitoker. Why would you ph your mix? Do you even understand PH and soil and organics? Any medium other then soil or soiless soil.

I ran several crops just like above without ever testing ph and had phenominal results. When i mix my nutes i noticed the ph goes down to 5.5 so now i keep the number in the comfort zone. Now tell me do you have any understanding of organics or soil ph?

nightbirdx. All, and i mean all wrong. You dont even know why you have problems. You just guess and then pass on wrong info. I've grown with BioCanna for over 2 years and with THEIR soil in the beginning, before they had a problem with a supplier. not any rules. The only thing they lack is cal mag, silicone and a little extra molasses at week 5 and 6, they have the proper amount of molasses in the Bioflores. Cal mag and silicone are important here because our government takes it out. Not in Europe where they make it. If you dont use the BioBoost your defeating the point. Also cannazyme is supposed to be used in every watering till last week along with riz. No soil with fertilizers added. Also Never water to drain. only water till wet with only a little seepage at worst. Every time you water till runout your washing out all the micros you built in the soil. Root control pots are also VERY important. We grow over 3lbs per 1000 watt light of any and every strain we run.
Hi Troll. I wasn't going to respond to you, but you kinda pissed me off. Congratulations. You've been growing with BioCanna for a few months more than I.
I'm glad that you have become the foremost expert on BioCanna.

First off. I don't use Rhizo or Cannazym because they ARE NOT ORGANIC. I run a completely organic run. So I took them out and put other things in that were organic. Your assumptions that I "guess" are somewhat right. But my "guesses" are based off of research and based off of what the plant tells me. If I have an issue, I research the issue and I research the fix. I then use what I have or find something that I find is lacking. Based off of this, I have put together a system that works for me. It does great. I grow phenomenal shit. I have been averaging a lb/light. Not the highest by any means. But still respectable, and it is all chron from tops to bottom.

For the strains that I grow, I have found BioVega to be a little light on the nitrogen. I talked to a rep in person about this and he told me they actually are recommending people to use Terra Vega because it is more complete. This was not an option for me because I grow organically. So I amend the soil and add in other nutrients that help fix the issues.

I have also found that my plants love more phosphorous than the BioFlores provides. So I hit it with a high phos guano a few times throughout flowering, and it works wonders.

I use BioBoost after buds have started forming. I use BioBud prior to buds forming. I love BioBoost. But there is no real point in using it before the plants are showing flowers.

Don't berate me. You don't know me. I give advice based off of my experiences. I always fully admit that I don't know everything and if I am wrong, I ask to be corrected so that I know for future reference. Trust me. I started growing using a full BioCanna line up. It did not work well for me. I'm glad it works well for you. I would like the others like to see your 3 elbows per light though.

I can show pics of my stuff, can you?

Well I dont grow with bio canna, but I want to bad but I'm in the middle of a grow.

The reason I posted is because of what nightbird just posted about, as I said I dont grow with bio canna (yet) but I thought it was common knowledge that this line was low on some nutrients but the end product was worth having to add some things to it regardless of cost, obviously you guys are willing to spend the $ if you are already using the most expensive part. Check out veganics, not to necessarily go that route completely but theres some good info as what to add to the bio line to supplement whats missing organically. Humbolt bloom (0-10-0), techniflora's soluble seaweed (0-0-16) for P and K in bloom as well as a few other things, sounds like you have found a few yourself....

Ya whitey. I've checked veganics. I basically run a veganic line, except I add budswel yellow and RO Roots HPK for a P and K bump. Other than that I use the bio line, Roots excelurator, humboldt honey, and use pro mix with amendments like lime, humus, azomite, and various benes.

Summitoker. Why would you ph your mix? Do you even understand PH and soil and organics? Any medium other then soil or soiless soil. Not coco. they have a neut for that. Or perolite or anything like it, they have a neut for that. Or rockwool, are we catching on. You all have no real idea what your doing.

You're kind of an idiot, okay? I can count no fewer than three things that you're absolutely wrong about here. Do you know which? And I doubt your tale about your yields as well, my best runs end up around 2.5 lb/1kw and I have shit dialed in tightly.

I call "put up or shut up" on 3lbs with BioCanna, and that is even with all the not organic supplements he listed.
 
warehouse 085.jpgi have a grow right now veganic here are some pics i have been studying this method very intens with alot of strains here is what i have come up with soluable seaweed for micros and running a compost tea with every watering lots of info on www.medicalmarijuana .com organnaadd works real well along with ca mag and aeration of water for miwarehouse 089.jpgcrobes is very important bountea.com check it out if u go veganics the yellowing is hard to battle because it caught me off guard here are some warehouse 093.jpgpics although when in veg before the yellow they were the best i had ever seen growing i think the bountea aloud the girls to use alot of food .warehouse 091.jpg
 
If you want to see my technique and plants in bud and apologize in person. Ill be at Hemp Con in Anaheim in January. Or wait till later this year and ill be at the one in San Jose and or San Fran. You wont miss me. Ill have the 6' to 9' potted plants in bud. I fit 9 5 gallon pots under 1 light in a 4 1/2 foot square grow space. Those are 5' to 6' plants. Trimmed tight up high and all i grow are big top colla's. And for those that dont understand organics. Nutrients, base and micro and hormones are uptaken between 5.4 and 6.7 ph. And when watered correctly, no timers, no to drain, no within 2 hours of lights on or off, and a bunch of other no's, the soil will ph change the nutes to all levels needed. When you ph you kill important stuff. DONE. cant bring it back. Also for you silicone users put that in first and mix well before any thing else goes in. Now to ph again. If you lower the ph to 6.2 to start then you just stopped or at least slowed all nutes and hormones that are uptaken above 6.2. DONE I can show you why im right in everything i say. 28 years in this industry. Also my luminescent reading, lumns, (sp) has less then a 5% variation at 18 to 24 inches from light. You have over 45% variation. That in and of its self accounts for a lot of my weight. Also my pots. And cannazine is organic. Its just not OMRI listed because its manufactured by canna, not biocanna. 2 different companies but the same. Why is that???? I know. do you? And if you use anything other then molasses or sugar alcohols for sugars you are making the plant work too hard to use it. Also

Uh... cannaszme is loaded with phosphate bro. check the label. It is far from organic by any definition. Hope to meet you soon. You seem to have some good things to say but your communication skills need work. Maybe you were rushing with that last post.
And BioCanna is made by Canna. Canna is the only company. Biocanna is a product brand, not a company.

When I first started running the bio line I encountered pretty much the same problem. Early yellowing being the main one. I have always kept my soil alive with products such as Roots Organics Organism XL/Great White/Tarantula (free sample would never pay that much). Also I brew my own AACT about once a week, all the way through week 8 of flower.

How I fixed this early yellowing during flower was not to add something during flower but something more during veg. I started using Sunleaves Mexican Bat Guano hardcore. I mean with every veg watering it had Mexican Bat Guano in there. All my plants stayed dark green throughout flower until week 6 or so but I feel that's normal for my strains that I have. I feel that because my plants had so much Mexican Guano in the soil for veg, that they were drawing up what they needed during flower because I'm sure there was some leftover guano in there. Whatever happened all i know is I had one of the best yields across the board. Yields were up and quality was through the roof when I switched to Canna Bio.

Well I guess there are 2 stores in Michigan that carry them. I've never been to SGS but have always wanted to go, they look like the mini-walmart of hydro stores. I purchased my Canna Bio from Cultivation Station. My favorite hydro store in Michigan is Advanced Gardening Solutions on Hall road and Heidenreich, not even for the selection but for the employees. They have a good selection of everything from fox farms to house & garden, but the employees are so helpful, knowledgeable, friendly, and will go above and beyond to help you out.
I second this!

Just re-purchased the bio canna line today at TCS and visited Advanced Gardening solutions Friday TOTAL WIN ON EMPLOYEES!!

The highest I ever feed is 25ml, but not too often. I keep the ranges between 15-20ml (mixture of both Vega and Flores), 10ml humboldt organic bloom, 5ml Mircoblast, and sometimes I add random amounts of bioboost just whatever I'm in the mood for really.
15-20 ml vega and flores + 10ml Humboldt Bloom + 5ml Microblast. Wow, are you talkin per gallon? Thats full blast on Humboldt nutrients and full blast on biocanna. How big are your plants? I use the same stuff.
