Hi fellow growers
This is my first growView attachment 3822323 Ok so i have two stunning ladys beginning there 4th week of flower tommorow.ive been feeding them the canna nutrient line using the feeding programe provided by canna online and theyre in canna pro soil.
Theyre really really hungry ALL the time lol.ive been feeding them using the heavy feeding chart at 1800ppm (to date.i will continue to climb ppm untill 2 weeks before harvest) and they have been requiring this every 2 days and when i test runoff the ppm is 200 or under.with all this feeding and no water i thought today ill just give them water with a rihzotonic and boost mixture.my reasoning for this was as i understand it they store nutrients in there leaves so if i do this once a week untill my last 2 weeks before harvest (then ill do this every feeding) itll help them use some of there stored food plus save me using up nutrients and help to produce a nicer cleaner end product.can anyone tell me did i do good?or have i opened a gateway to defficiencys.many thanks in advance.

1800 sounds very high. But if you have been at that level for a few days and don't have any burn on the very end of the fan leaves they're ok. If you have that though, I'd lower the ppm. When you find the level they like, stick with it until it's time to flush 3 to 5 days before harvest. The only thing besides water in those days might be a little sugar (honey, molasses, maple syrup) to so they can feed on natural sugars in their last days. You are correct that they should get other nutes from any remaining leaves which will start looking pretty shitty cause they are getting drained. Best of luck man.

Hey bud sorry ive put you wrong.the EC is 1.8 so that would be 900ppm.anyway basically im following the chart i posted in the thread.ive been slowly increasing the ppm each week to within what the chart states and it basically says itll peak at 2.1 EC or 1100ppm.anyway thanks for the advice.i guess its only 2 days for them to go without nutrients.instead of molasses im using the canna boost wich aparentlys the bees knees lol.bigger yield and a better tast so they recon.:weed:
