canna and bio both require you to use both parts A and B for flowering. just for ease of use i'd reccomend the Canna A+B, while i'm sure it is a super quality nute, it's just that little measuring thing that does it for me, so quick to use :D)

Thanks for ur reply, so parts A+B flowering? say i use this baby bio for veg, then canna A+B is all i need for blooming?

It would seem so, although the canna is for veg and flower, use part A and B equal quanities throughout, so you can dump the baby bio, unless it really is that good (you can do a comparison grow using canna if you like)


the thing about guys like riddleme is that there absolutely positive that they know best and anyone who disagrees is wrong!!!!
cheers for the link, i'll give it a read later. and that's exactly what was pissing me off, if he'd turned around, as i asked him to, and actiually schooled me on why his statements were actually the grail, or just tried to argue his point, i'd have been happy, but it was very much an "well you enjoy growing shit cus i grow trees my way" replies, and then linked me to a very dubious read of a thread.i mean he really believes that just because mother nature doesn't add nutes, that there aren't nutes in the ground, in the runoff from stream water etc, or that the plant doesn't check the ph....doesnt' mean it won't effect it. if i take the spedo off my car, i don't know whether i'm doing 30, the kid doesn't know if i'm doing 30, but when i hit the kid at 50, well i think they'll notice the difference!

it's like when you get someone with 95 posts who comes on and demands that he get's to write an FAQ, go awaaaaaaaaaaaay

Yeh i was just looking at the canna range and seems A is vega (grow) and B is Flores (bloom?)
If i was just to get them 2 and do away with the baby bio should i get maybe some canna PK 13/14 as well to feed in the late flowering stage?

inbetweeners is (was?) great. do you know if they axed it after 2 series or?

and my canna nutes state that it's 4ml of A and B throughout, no A for veg and B for flower, it's as simple as that :) and you simply squeeze the bottle to measure it up :)

i take the baby bio yooz are all talkin about is the standard stuff from any garden shop little odd shaped blue or green bottles?

thats the stuff... to be fair, i got some decent plants with it.

was refering to using b&q as a grow shop more than not recomending the baby bio, the pre nuted soild compromised any oppinion i could have on the bio other than when i added it, it burned my plants....

i've swiched to the canna stuff simply because i can get it off the shelf locally, it was cheap enough and it was recomended by others.

I hear ya mate, b+q can be handy for alot things like rooting juice,cloning juice, pots ect, or anything like that but yeh wouldnt go by their soil.
Check this pic, a plant (bb cheese) from my first grow used baby bio nothing else. i was so suprised by the result!

i bought my miracle grow from bnq, i know a lotta people dont like it but ive never had any bother at all, but i didnt put in any nutes for about 5 weeks, i started from seed with bnq own brand potting soil and then onto miracle grow( i added perlite and vermiculite). my mate used westlands also from bnq. dont get me wrong though after listening to a lotta people on here i think i'm gonna go with a plagron soil although greens horti have a new rang i mite have a go at. i wouldnt get my nutes or that but i get my pots n shit from them though.
