Pk13/14

Hi guys;

It is advised to use Canna PK 13/14 for 1 week on the canna website, what im wanting to know is when exactky should i use it, and can i use it for more than 1 week or should i just stick with the 1 week, it is meant to give more yield and boost so using it more than one week sounds good to me but does anyone else do this ?

Thanks
Steve

Are you using the Canna "lineup?" Or, are you supplementing other base nutrients?

The reason I ask is that what Canna recommends may be for use with their "lineup." It may not work as directed if you use other product(s). It's better to focus on the NPK ratio you wish to achieve, not just adding a bottle based upon the label.

I'm not sure "boosting" does anything. But, when I do it, I do NPK ratio 1-3-2 for two feedings, maybe two weeks before harvest. Others may go stronger, longer, etc. In my case, I'm already at ratio 1-2-1.8 at the end. So, that could be a difference too. If your base nutrients are lower, then you might want to use 13/14 for longer, but at a lower amount.

That's why it would be better to focus on the ratios resulting from what you feed, and how you wish to change them. You can use this spreadsheet to delve into those details. Even if you use the Canna "lineup," it would be beneficial to you to know what you're feeding.

Cheers man! Ill look at that, and i use all canna products so ill stick the 1 week as advised then, that should be fine anyway, ill get there with it, ive just potted seedlings and they are looking good lets hope they turn out well

If using the Canna line up, some of these may be useful to you.
