I have seen similar products up there mate but i couldn't tell you if they're safe to use on the canna.
ebay is your best bet, have a look for a 5-1-1 feed. that would set you right.
you have got alot of healthy foliage still on there at the moment but i've seen that shit spread FAST too many times.

Brand does not matter. You're looking at the n-p-k ratio. Walmart has fish emulsion 5-1-1 for cheap. But the yellowing is normal when flowering. You're at over 9 weeks now, correct? If so, don't feed her a high N diet. The yellowing is completely normal as the plant uses the N. Do not listen to those that are saying add N as they obviously haven't read your entire thread with the times you've mentioned.

not as far as brands go but like i said something with a good amount of nitrogen that can act fast for you is what you're after dude.

bloodmeal is another option, stuff is over 12 % in nitrogen so you would have to be careful with it. Can be used by watering it in or mixing into your water and making a tea. deffo research on how much to apply though.

His plant has not long been in flowering, if you want the best results from your plants you will do everything you can to retain those leaves in the best way possible.
i feed nitrogen from start to finish.

Their plant is over 9 weeks. It's almost done and a high N feeding will screw with the plant. It doesn't need N, it needs P.

should be fine but if you're really worried hit it with a high nitrogen fertilizer, most bloom nutes drop the nitro so low you will get some yellowing I always add a little nitrogen up until week 5-6 or the plant tells me it's had enough. I have nice green leaves up to harvest, a starving plant is no way to grow. looks great for a first timer would advise you get the hell away from those autos

that's the part i didn't agree with lol

although of course they don't come close to good a photo period parent / strain.

I think auto's are a huge gimmick made to appeal to newbies. IF they auto you save what? 2 weeks grow time? Not really worth it. They still get rather tall if left untrained and IMO you don't get nearly as much as you would growing a photoperiod of the same strain.

I highly doubt that plant is going to take another 5 weeks. My guess would be 3 MAX.

You are missing the fact that its an auto at over 9 1/2 weeks old. Autos veg for roughly 2 weeks then go into flower. This is not a photoperiod that they determined when flowering began. Had they determined the flowering date then you'd be correct at it having a ways to go. This is not the case though. As a first timer I believe they have missed the start of flower. Also, by cutting back on the light cycle they slowed the plants flowering potential. More bad advice?

It's up to you. It may stress it, maybe not. But she would've been bigger had you not taken bad advice about cutting back lighting times which may have led more people to believe that she is almost done.
