just sprouted 4 seeds but I only really needed 2, ive split them in half and put 2 of the them straight into buckets under a 125 watt cfl

biggest problem im having at the minute is getting a big root system from reg strains so ive changed my feeding ratios around and started these on .8 ec of micro and bloom nutrients

the bloom nutrient has more phosphorus which is supposed to encourage a bigger root mass and ive set the ph to 5.6

Hey Seymour! I have been reading your growdiaries and found them really helpful for me since I grow on DWC / LED / Canna nutrients. So my salutations to you because you do disclose very good information on all the pH / EC -values you do have with your grows and all the information on the additives you use and when you use.

Couple questions for you though;

- What is the EC value of you plain water? Do you use straight tap water or do you do RO or anything?

- You stress time and time again the importance on doing all you can to promote root growt in the early part of the growt. How much do you give rhizotonic per litre in your feed? I've read you given some 60ml at the beginning but i didn't have any idea of what was the reservoir size.

- What EC would you generally recommend with Canna Aqua range to keep in the flowering stage as a go-to range in general?

- I do use CANNAZYME through the growcycle just with an idea of keeping the root diseace and stuff away, have you ever used that product or do you have any thoughts on if it is smart to use or not?

Much appriciate your talent and experience on the grows and I am looking forward on growing DP's Think Different trying to imitate great work you did with it. You know, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. :biggrin:

Really I just try to maximise the volume and the quality of the meds for my wifey here and you just reporting on your ways and giving advice really brings concrete help for a (lovely) person who suffers. I will be following this one also and wish all the best with the grow! :toke:

Easy pal.

My starting ec is .4 straight tap water so when you see 1.2 ec thats my overall total

Rhizotonic is just a seaweed extract thats sold as many different things from seed soak to transplant shock and root conditioner. Use it at full dosage 4ml per ltr 1st 2 weeks then drop to 2ml per ltr until 3rd week of bloom. Dont think you will notice much difference without it

I used to find canna aqua really hot with the ec's. For seeds i would start low at around .6 and increase weekly by 2 points. .8 1.0 etc by the time you get to week 4 the plants should be making an impact on the res so you can adjust accordingly

The grow guide for canna and genesis is based on weekly res changes and this is classed as aggresive feeding cause each week your increasing your ec forcing them to push harder. Some growers wont stop untill they get tip burn which is the sign shes fully loaded.

The ph pen and the ec meter are just to get a more indepth reading of what the plants actually doing,some people can read nature others like to get scientific

Cannazym ive never really had a use for it personally. I try and run a sterile root system by blowing x amount of oxygen into the roots and use a basic n-p-k feed. Roots only die when they suffocate and ones that break off due to the amount of pressure being forced into each bucket get removed at res change.

Overall i do like canna aqua but go easy on the ec from seed and if growing with l.e.d ive noticed plants do suffer cal/ mag def so you may well need to suppliment but i have seen some great grows with those nutes. The only other suppliment you need is a pk booster either 13/14 or 9/18 theres quite a few
To choose. Obviously the ec is what ever she tells you she wants.

Thanks for the comments and hope this helps
