Update:
The plants are getting big fast! Should have been transplanted Monday from the looks of the roots. I mixed some soil and filled the auto pots. I use a 1 quart pot packed with soil to make a hole in the soil, by filling in around it. Transplant fits perfect. I bet they'll be ready to go on the reservoir in 4-5 days. They'll get RO water with 120 ppms of cal/mag.
I'm using two different soil mixes. One is potting soil, horse manure compost, Grow More Palm Food, lime, Azomite, and Epsom salts. The Palm food is just a dry, organic nutrient mix, and a good one for canna, a little richer in phosphorus than some mixes. The plant in the right rear corner is the only one using this mix.
The other mix is Black Soil, composted cow manure, Kellogg's organic fertilizer with chicken manure, blood meal, Azomite, lime, and Epsom salts. Just curious to se if they like one more than the other.
I'll also be using Optic Foliar spray on the 2 plants on the right. I want to see what, if any, affect it will have on a landrace strain. These plants are in for a shock.......
The documentary on the Rif Mountains said: "Nothing grows here except olive trees and cannabis." Hoping they react well to rich soil.
