Snapped some pics tonight after work, they were lookin too good not to.

First off, here is a pic of my reservoir, after the nutes have been mixing for
6 hours.

Looks as if I'm switchin to from the Master A&B to CANNA Coco A/B ...

Just had a conversation with Ralph B. of CANNA N. America, and many
of my deficiencies are caused by nutrient imbalances due to the NPK
of my fertilizers in relation to the propenseties of coco.

coco gives off chiefly Potassium and some Sodium as it gets older (decomposes).
As this level goes up, other elements, such as Calcium and Magnesium, are locked
out. Canna Coco is buffered to keep this from happening as long as two things
are done: 1. The plants and medium are feed with a nutrient package that allows
for both the plant and replenishes what the coco effectively uses up. 2. That plain
water is never applied to the medium as this will erase the buffer, any buffer, and
cause things to go wrong.

High Potassium levels lock out Calcium which explains the curling and deformation,
yellow blotching is Magnesium, the salty look is caused by excess Potassium that
accumulates, without the plant being able to regulate it, in the tissues of the leaves.
Overall the ratio changes, the stems turn purple but the leaves stay a fairly decent green for awhile.

I'm definitely going to be using Humboldt's Additives still, but my main nutes will be of
CANNA.

I'm excited!

Whoa big changes happening eh?. I've heard everyone love canna products though they tend to be a bit pricey. I would like to give them a try, but they aren't carried local in Michigan. Cool info on the coco though, I'm sure that will help someone in the future!

They are more expensive, but due to the coco's properties
and the watering schedule they recommend, you use less nutes,
so it's a trade off
 

Huh??

H&G!
After helping create Canna,Van De Zwaan then made his own nutrient line(House & Garden).Very similar to Canna and a little more concentrated.
It's available at Horizen Hydroponics in Grand Rapids and The Grow Show in Ann Arbor.

Unfortunately no.
To my knowledge there are only three stores in MI that carry it,I believe the other is in Traverse City.
It might be worth the trip to head over to the grow show in Ann Arbor though,15% off all purchases when you show your med card.

Sorry for hijacking shrubs.

Not a prob dude, didn't know that about h&g's...

That's how humboldt nutes started as well, people left Advanced
Nutes cuz they wouldn't stop using EDTA's...

But Id have to check if the potassium levels are correct for coco.

Nother feeding tonight, gotta keep it up as frequent as possible...
Il also post some more pics

Hell yea, with a week and a half left of solid growth and another
week of flush after that these nugs should realllly tighten up....

I fed them a huge PK boost last night, they probably won't LOVE it
but they will use it!

Medicate!

Thanks, I wish my digi camera wasn't broken or I would have much better quality.
Soon though, I will get a new.
