It's looking spectacular @Rurumo that's a really nice job.

I love the names lol and I also love that you found the same with canna, I mentioned that a few times before learning not to bother.

I use canna for flower/later veg and i use the cheaper brick coco for seedlings and clones, it's full of fibrous lumps and pith but free draining it holds approx 23% less water than canna and the plants love it, £15 for 75ltr brick and £20 for 50ltr of canna pro it's a win win and i don't need to buy perlite now :mrgreen: .

Yes, I love the coarser grinds for seedlings, they just grow so fast and easy in it! My friend gave me 50 small pots that he didn't want, which are like the bottom half of a party cup if you were to cut it in the middle, and I'm amazed at the growth I'm getting in those vs the taller party cups that take much longer to dry out. With coarse coco in that small pot you start fertigating earlier and the growth shows it.

For my next grow, I'm going to try mixing 50% canna with 50% hydrofarm/botanicare (I have 1/2 bag each left and want to use them up). Canna really does shine during the flowering period, once the roots have fully filled the pots and the plants are big and drinking a lot. I think the fine grind makes more K available in flower than the coarser grind cocos. I can't find where I read this, but I think Canna themselves said that their coco provides basically 100 ppm K during flower, which I tend to believe. That's one reason I'm going back to Maxi series, just to see how the lower K works compared to Jack's 321 ratios. I've tried higher N rates, now I want to try lower K rates.

I just opened up a Grove bag of some LouisXIII that has been sealed since this grow, and it turns out to be the best (potent/up high) herb that I have right now! These buds are massive and fluffy, man I wish I had kept this pheno! I've been overdoing it on chems/Sour/OG for years, so I didn't really appreciate this one as much as I should have. I remember now, I gave it up in the end because it was a terrible bonsai mom, it wanted to grow a node every 10 inches, so it was irritating to keep around. This tastes like lemon pledge, not my favorite OG flavor, but the lemon flavor is really good, and it doesn't put me to sleep. It reminds me of really good old Sour D, in effect and the growth habit/bud size/density. I just snapped a pic of a bud I pulled out to grind:

Good OG's are pretty easy to find in S1s in general, but this Louis from Cannaventure is definitely a good place to look. The CSI Humboldt Triangle Kush S1s always look good too.
