Hey everyone !! just an FYI , i just finished using straight biocanna and coco and it actually worked decently . I am honestly not sure what the maximum yield was for my setup b/c this was my first time using an LED . BUT... I used 1 stealth grow 600 watt led and 12 two gallon pots , and i ended up with over 4 zips !! so i think i can call that success ?!?! ;p

Less than .25 grams per watt on what is supposed to be a more efficient lighting system. I don't think you can call it a success... but it isn't a failure. Somewhere in the middle.
Not failure on your first try is success in it's own way.
Good job though. How's the smoke? Do you like the flavor of the end result?

the led is a 600 watt , but only draws 300 something... so my calculations brought it to about .5 g /watt ... which IS NOT spectacular. But honestly the quality/density/smell is amazing . Its almost 100 % organic hydro. I wasnt sure what to expect from the led , but it wasnt shameful. I am gonna throw another same size led in the same area (5x5 tent), which should hopefully give me about 150 % yield. I am also thinking that if i had used soil like cana reccommends for the " biocanna" line , the yield wld have prob been more. It was my first run, gonna start a new cycle soon. I will keep ya'll posted . CHEERS

the taste is superb as well, pulled it "earlier" so its a psychoactive high, not a downer-narcotic smoke. the bubblehash made from clips, is some of the best i have ever had, one hit quit, great smell too

That sounds a lot better. Definitely sounds like you have nowhere to go but up. Still not a bad job though.
I think you're on the right path with the coco. If I were you I'd try out Subcools Revised Super Soil Recipe (you can look it up) in the next grow. Sub uses a coco base for his media and I'm doing something similar in my own grow.
You could reclaim a little loose coco from the rootballs of this last grow, then mix that up with some perlite, worm castings, and dolomite. You could also add some composted fertilizers (cow is good), or go the bonemeal/bloodmeal+guano route. A little Azomite will go a long way as well.
This builds you a simple organic mix with a very good consistency and aeration level. The reclaimed coco will have broken down some from the previous grow and I find this mature coco helps build some really amazing root systems (better than before). I have read that coco fiber contains really fantastic levels of cytokinins and auxins which support root growth and plant health... who knows... but the results are great I think.
Here are some roots that are growing through the 3 gallon smart pots I'm using. The plants are about 30 days from transplanting.
I wish you luck in your own organic endeavors.

biocanna yields about 20% less than most line ups, as advertised. quality over quantity.

just wondered if u had used canna bio boost n flores with fruit rot juice and bat guano teas as i was thinkin when i get my buds when i first go in to 12/12 should i use the fruit rot juice to boost microbes and then in week 3-4 bru some bat guano and add my canna boost with that and then another doze in week 5 but in between feed it bio flores and bio boost and a little cal mag with 6% nitrogen only using cal mag once after buds form after the stretch to boost them a little with nitrogen then again at end of week 4 as this nis my first organic grow i have about two years growing experience with all the other canna products that arnt bio and i also have some yellow bottle nutriens which is the cal mag and also final bloom which i will give in week 7 any info u can share would be great iam using canna bio soil in my last pot up which is a 10 litre pot which i have just done and my plants are 11 inch tall using a 600 mh and then 600 hps to flower with there pretty bushy at mo so going to leave in darkness 46 hours when they get to 15-16 inch tall then hit them with my cool tube 600w hps please any help would be great bit worried about going organic!!!!
