I was referring to GreenThumb, no problem man! Happy to help another grower, post up some pics of the garden once it gets going!

Also when you pick your strains try to consider the height and flower time of each strain. If you have 3 short 8 week Indica & 2 Tall 10-11 Week Sativas they will need to be on different nutrient schedules in Bloom and you'll be running the lights and held up from vegging anything new till the long finishing ones are done. Also the height could be an issue as it could end up very far from the top of the indicas if the sativa's way out stretch them during bloom.

Well, I guess I can top it if they are growing too far apart height wise or better yet, FIM it.

I'd say top or FIM or right before you flip the lights, that should help equalize them. I've done both and the FIM is more unreliable, so just expect to get a lot more tops. And if you FIM when you make the cut error on the side of cutting less rather than more.

I agree, I did more reading about FIMing and most guys are saying to just top instead. So that's the route I'll most likely go.

Bummer, id say get it before watering if you can, if not mix the bat shit a little stronger than usual. Dont skip any of the stuff you do have in the meantime.

I have a blue cheese, and she is in flower 1 week(barneys).. I gave it a feed the day I changed my bulb... 3 quater ml of cannzym, boost and flora in 10 litres of water... I know the cheese is peculiar to nutes.. You also say that you don't need to feed for at least 2 weeks into flower with the pro plus...

So my my first question is, 4 to 6ml per gallon straight away gonna fry my lady ? Along with the rest of my stuff... And secondly temps are Pritty high, but should I make a fresh nutes every time I need them or if I have some left in my can after a coupe of days feedin with what's left... Any help would be great full..

Once you mix nutes they're good for a week or so. As long as it doesn't get real stinky, no need to mix fresh everytime if you have leftover.

I have never used Pro Plus, so I don't know the nute situation with that, but you probably won't hurt them at 5ml a gallon. First week of flower I feed about 800-850ppm if that helps.

Just wanted to post this here as a reminder to myself (and other newbies)...has some good tips ;)

The undisputed ease of growing with natural CANNA COCO fertilizers together with the COCO medium can be further enhanced with the following tips and products:

-From the first day onwards, give RHIZOTONIC for an even better root development and a stronger vigorous plant; also spray RHIZOTONIC solution on the leaves.
-After about 1 week, start using CANNAZYM. This enzyme and vitamin specimen prevents the rotting of organic material, stimulates the soil life, increases the intake of nutrients, and insures that Canna Coco can be reused extremely well. Apply at least once a week.
-Do not place too many plants per square foot. Plants will generally become larger on Canna Coco and depending on the type, will need more room compared to cultivating on rockwool or soil. Because of this, a bloom or harvest period could be started days earlier.
-Measuring the drain water from the coconut substrate provides irrelevant information; steering with the use of such information can thus cause damage to the plant. So, there is no need for nutrient measurements when using Canna Coco and COCO fertilizers together in a normal setting (as long as you follow the feeding schedule directions on the bottle, of course).

Canna recommends letting the nutrient solution sit for approximately one hour after initial mixing; this will give the pH buffers time to act. After one hour you can then adjust your pH level, which should now remain consistent throughout the week (the life of your nute mixture)

Hi great info thanks. I am suffering from nutrient lock, when i flush the plants till water runs out, then the coco is too wet and stays wet for days, my room temp is ok, i know that the plants arent drinking much due to the nute lock, is it ok for it to be so wet and should i let it dry out a little before feeding again.

You definitely want the coco to dry out (not all the way though) but until you stick your finger 2" in and it's dry. Sounds like your overwatering (may not even be nute lock). Depending on the size of your pots, you can go days before you need to water again.

Case in point, I have seedlings in 3 gal air pots, and I don't need to water them for about 5 days ;)

Since you are in soil, and not coco, make sure the "a+b" you have is terra vega and terra flores. Then use the calculator on the website!

Try adding 3 or 4 Ml/Gal of Cal/Mag

Next time add 2Ml/Gal throughout the whole grow when in Coco.
