Day 46: She had about 0.5L of the pH 5.81/1050ppm that was remaining but, because of her haircut, she won't need more for another 2 days I'd guess. For the next batch I'll be Upping the Canna Boost aiming for an overall ppm around 1200 (EC 1.7-1.8). Will lower the pH on this batch to around 5.65 though as the runoff has been going up above 6 so want to bring that down over the next feed or two to my 5.8 sweet spot.
Environment this week has been a-ok. As she properly gets into flowering, I'll pop the dehumidifier in and begin lowering RH to around 45%
Anyway, did some 'shenagling' on her earlier to adjust the pegs and keep the 'lil branches just so. Most of the pegs are now at the pot edges at least but she's still short and stout. I'm so used to the bushy bush that she looks naked right now!
Been a bit lazy so not compiled the weeks timelapse yet. Got around 22k stills now (85GB worth!).
It's a pain not being able to move the pot, but for a timelapse, it can't move around. Unfortunately I have nudged iit slight;y a couple of times but the effect is fairly minor on the videos. Not sure I'll do one for every grow.
Hmm should I post her weekly tease later?

pppDay 47: Good ol' drink today. 4L of pH 5.65 / 1530 ppm to around 10% runoff, measured at pH 6.20 / 1010ppm.
Seems a little 'hot' to me but I'm following the canna feeding guidelines for veg stage II.
Starting ppm is distilled water at 5ppm. Adding 1ml of CalMag per litre which brings it up to 410ppm (truncheon) which is what I put into the feeding chart as the water EC.
24ml of Canna A - 1110ppm
24ml of Canna B - 1470ppm
18ml of Rhizotonic - 1470ppm (weird it didn't budge here - checked it twice with freshly calibrated meter)
23ml of Cannazym - 1530ppm
18ml of Canna Boost - 1530ppm (again no change)
pH was then 5.56 to a couple of drops of pH up to 5.65.
So chart says ppm should be 1330, mine came out 200 more at 1530. Anyone else following this guide or recommend an alternative?
Not seen any nute burn from previous feedings but I've been around 20% less nutes than the chart up until today.
Anyway, the bushy bush is bounding back! Some of the new growth is a little twisted which I'm thinking is related to my slightly high runoff pH hence slightly lower pH for this batch.
