The Official Canna Coco & Nutrients Thread

[jberry]

sweet deal, thanks for the kind words.... looks like you got nute burn so I hoped you flushed really well...
the new plants do look like they yielded more so that is always awesome.

Easy JesusBerry hows u doin! Ive got simple question bout canna nuts Can i use canna bio in coco? If not, can you recommend any good organic nuts for it? Is there any point to play organics? Cheers!

I think you could probably use the bio without any major issues, but if your going to to use the bio line then maybe you should just use the bio medium as well... it has a high percentage of coco in it anyhow.

I have switched my cal/mag supplement from MagiCal to General Hydroponics new organic Cal/Mg+Molasses to try to avoid the EDTA's that are said to effect taste and have ill effects on the microbes in the medium.

If you go organic then your grow will probably take a little longer and the yield will probably drop a bit, but your oil/resin production will go up and the terpenes that effect the taste and smell will also increase (especially the citrus smell/flavor)... this is still all being heavily debated even from expert to expert but I think science will prove it all to be true in the not so distant future.

thats not nute burn, its light burn by the time i realised and moved the light i had already burnt the crap out of it.

 

[jberry]

that's good...the heat/light burn doesnt really matter much if you were close to harvest.

Hi jberry.

Hi everyone.

Well since i started my first grow in coco and im 10 days from harvest i thought i would share some pics and info.

I have...

Strains

8 x white russian
8 x armageddon
8 x Pure power plant

Veg'd for 5 weeks
Currently going into week 11 flower.

Transplanted from 7.5 liter to 15 liter then finally to 45 liter square pot each.

Co2 enhance by 20 kg bottle and UNIS regulator.

Im using the CANNA nutrition.

rhizotonic
canazym
A + B
Bloom
Nitrogen
magnesium
calsium
PK 13/14
PH down

extra nutrition...

UMPH power
GHE ripenor
black molasses
HALO.

Medium

COCO pro
perlight
clay pellets.

I have really enjoyed working with coco and the Canna nute's. They are real easy to use and have lots of beneficial qualities. Im definatly going to do my next grow with coco and the CANNA nutrition.

So enjoy the pic's everyone and thanks jberry your thread has had some valuble information i have put to good use. Keep up the good work!!!

Thank you for that reply man. I could use BioTerra Plus but I would need to treat it as soil not hydro... Ive never done coco but Ive got a good experience in soil. Ive done lots of research about coco and it solves all soil problems like flushing a system, more oxygen, better environment for roots and generally everything is under control. With each grow I want to be better and dont want to step backwards so i am confused now:/ what would u do if u wanted to use biocanna nuts?

 

[RockyMountainHi]

HEY!!! To anyone who knows...what would be the best way to automate a COCO grow? I LOVE using COCO but hand watering drain to waist is a big pain in my arse! Any idea's

Thanks for the great thread JBerry!

 

[RockyMountainHi]

No one??? JBerry?

 

[Apache]

COCO pro
perlight
clay pellets.

Hello and thank you for sharing, May I ask how you like to set up your pots? Perlight mixed in? Etc...Thank you in advance for any help provided.

Cheers,

Hi There,

New to this forum but long time lurker of this board.

Great thread! Thank you!

I will be coming back to Canna Coco A+B with PK 13/14 from using the Lucas method for the last several grows.

My question for this thread is which Canna schdedule is everyone using? They list several in the guide. Tried searching this thread but nothing relavent popped up for "schedule." The schedules also seem to differ from what is on the bottle so confused over what amounts of the nutes to use.

I am fairly new to coco too, after a few years of soil under my belt -- but, having read pretty much all of this thread (and a few other lengthy coco related ones) I think you will find that coco isnt so much of a schedule.. maybe dosage recommendations based on a few variables.. but are you asking about a similar water/feed sched like you would have in soil or hydro? water, feed, off, water, feed, off? like that? if so - that isn't applicable to coco. not sure if that's what you meant

I've only gotten into about the 3rd week or so of veg - its been a rough last 45 days for me - so I've not been completely on it. Although I've read 90% of this thread, I saw a few pages back where Jberry mentioned to never let coco get dry - which is something I am guilty of recently on a few girls. Not sure what the long term effect of that is, but I'm now more diligent on things since the weekend of the 12th. The new babies I got from a local dispensary werent even showing roots when I went to pick them up, so that slowed me down some. Nevertheless, most of my girls are about 14 - 16" tall, so I've transplanted them over to 2gal containers. I'm going to let them sit in veg for another 6 days, and then flip to bloom.

I'm using 100% canna coco & nutes. I haven't bought the PK yet, but seems like many have chimed in here that Boost is something maybe worth not going for because of the price?

I've checked out http://growguide.info/ (meant to show you that BudsInTheCloset), and I'm roughly just following the label but that URL shows lesser dosage for my rez size.

Any recent up-to-date feedback on additional additives? I'm tempted to just forgo them this round, but at the same time, maybe buying a small amount of a few different bloom enhancers and just doing a side by side test? But I can't afford them all. Big Bud, Hammerhead, Gravity, MOAB, Shooting Powder, SnowStorm etc.. etc.. what do you guys think?

hi guys, first off great thread basicly im using nft 5ft trays and canna nutes my temps and humidty are all spot on air flow is great and also using co2.the problem is i can never get good healthy plants all the way through :*( they leaves always yellow up or burn or just dry up and go brown and drop off i see all the plants on here and there always so green and healthy looking. im sure its somthing to do with the way im feeding them ive tried 15 min on 45 off , 3 times a day , 24/7 , 12/12 and still the same.
basicly i wondered if you could work me out a scehdule on whats nutes to give them and how much ? i have the full canna aqua range apart from canna start.also nitrogen/trace elements/superrthrive. also when to have the pumps ruuning.
also first sign of the yellowing and dead leaves i flush with water for 2 days / pumps on 24/7 and still this does not help.
THIS ISNT JUST A ONE OFF , IT ALWAYS HAPPENS TO ME :*(

 

[baddiieeee]

also i keep reading that people feed water+nutes / water / water+nutes / water and so on is this correct as i have always added nutes everytime i refill my tank

You probably need a nitrogen supplement. I give my plants Canadian express essential nitro but any nitrogen boost should work in veg and just before i flip to 12/12. Also nutrients, water, nutrients, water is for soil not coco or hydro.

 

[baddiieeee]

thnx for the reply m8y. i have canna nitrogen.is this any good? should i use that throughout veg(everyfeed) and would it help giving them a dose here and there in flower?
