New Grower Bush Wrangler vol 1. : Blueberry Kush/Coco/Canna nutes/COB

[Budulike]

I've never used the Canna line and I had to read up on it a little bit to find out what that boost is. It sounds so good it almost makes me want to try the Canna line out. Anyway, I think you should go ahead and use it right now. It isn't really a flower booster so much as it is a general booster. At least by my read, that means you can use it in flour if you're putting in PK but you don't have to be using it just in flower. You just probably want to hold off on the PK a little bit I would think.

Hey Jingo, many thanks for the info, appreciated!
Also, thanks for reminding me (in a subtle way) that the internet exists and google etc etc..... ha ha!

Just done a search now and found all the answers to my earlier questions, and this 'Boost' stuff does sound awesome.....so gonna start using it straight away!! Will also hold off on the PK until the stretch is done, as you say.

Cheers brother

Preparing her for some wrangling, thanks @Hazy & @Ribbzzy for the inspiration!

Blueberry Kush (Nirvana Seeds) - Day 10 (17th of May)

Please let me know your thoughts, am a tiny bit worried she is kind of pale green (Day 10) and not dark green, but will up her nutes next feed me thinks (final feed with Start and then onto Canna A+B).

Man your all over this grow, hanging about for this one. Have a slap for job well done so far. Well impressed with the set up.

DON'T SQUAT WITH YOUR SPURS ON!

Hey, welcome Slater, and gracias for the Rep Slap....appreciated. Glad you like the set up - your threads influenced me, so happy you like it. The dripper is working a treat - and made life super easy

now that's some good advice, noted.

Day 24

Feeding the following per litre:
2ml Canna A
2ml Canna B
1ml CalMag Agent
2ml Rhiz
2ml Boost
4 drops of Drip Clean

Roughly 800ppm @ 5.8pH

Been getting more run-off than is ideal, so gonna reduce the time my dripper runs for each of the 3 feeds a day

Another haircut & further LST, pretty brutal I know, but she seems to like it!.......loving the structure I am starting to get now

Day 27



Hi, just a quick update....

Got the light on 90 Watts now, with the same feed schedule, but may move to 4 feeds a day soon, especially if I see less, or no run-off....
Did some more Bondage work. Think this maybe the last of the structural LST I do, and will let her do what she wants from now on, i'll just try to keep the canopy height evenish.
Finally, am starting to see she is a girl....i think

Some before and after shots of the LST and Haircut:

This is what she started out looking like

She is a girl!

Post LST

Finally, post haircut....., adios amigos

Day 30

Howdy folks, learnt another lesson today - DON'T DIG FOR WATER UNDER THE OUTHOUSE!....

UPDATE:
Some light LST and leaf tucking, trying to keep the tops evenly spread out and at the same height - she is roughly 12 cm tall!
Upped the lights to 100 watts now (only 10 watts left).
Also upped the feed to 920ppm @ 5.8pH, and still feeding 4 times a day. Will move to 5 feeds a day when I see little to no run-off.

• Feed Per Litre:
  • 2.5ml Canna A
  • 2.5ml Canna B
  • 1ml CalMag Agent
  • 2ml Canna Boost
  • 1.5ml Cannazym
  • 0.5ml Rhizotonic
  • 4-5 drops of Drip Clean

Gonna keep a close watch to make sure I don't get any leaf burn, light burn etc....
Am attempting to push her to the max, and see what she can take. She seems hungry, and I have not seen any signs of leaf canoeing or tip burn yet, so will keep upping the light and feed in small increments, at least until she tells me to stop.....

QUICK QUESTION FOR THE MORE EXPERIENCED - when do you start using the PK13/14? From my research it's only after the flower stretch has finished? Is that about right, or should it be earlier?

Adios my fine amigos!

After the stretch is good unless you want to bloom early, then some guys will start earlier.
With good headroom I'd wait.

Many thanks Jingo my friend, you reply faster than I can draw my own pistol!
Still got some headroom I am pleased to say (about 25 cm), so will wait till after the stretch........
