Haha Caspa it's all been said. My secret, ive found through trial and error, is less is best and KISS. I only use canna A and B, pk first four weeks then bloombastic with a and b. most of the times I run just bloombastic the last three weeks. Then I do use calmag when not usin a and b.good to hear mr burnum....ive had good results myself just wanna make sure i do this right this time and all is going well,lester you gonna share your garderning skills with us if you dont mind.......do you use canna boost???
I would go (and did) Canna. It's bitch for me to get to, only one store in town has it, and like 20 have H&G.What's better canna or house and garden.?
Have you, or do you use the boost? I use the biocanna series and noticed quite a difference from using boost compared to using no boost. If you have, what other product can compare? I have quite a big operation (12kw) going right now and am thinking of going with canna since that is what I use in my personal garden. I've never used pk13/14 in soil, just vega, Flores, rhizo, cannazyme and boost. Wanted to know what you have personally figured out this last year using them? Looking for quality not quantity, right now... Thanks for any help you have cannaman!I run the chart 100% strength just fine. Never burned them in veg, little bit during the PK week, I would back off on the base a little during that week...

im planning to grow in canna coco with all the canna nutes, but not 100% sure on how much nutes to mix as I think 15ml A and 15ml B mixed in 10 Litres of water at ph 5.8 for the first week is to much and will kill the plant from nute burn?
from the chart i was planning to do all it says in that order of when to use the nutes, but use 1/4 of the nutes. does this sound right? that would work out at 4ml a and 4ml b for the first week of a 1 week old cutting?
Thats not too bad. Depends on light their under too
Thanks CannaMan!Hey Birdman,
No I never have used it, I grew a general dislike for $100 per L growing products after being thoroughly bled by the AN line and buying into all their lies... So.. for me the boost will never be worth it at the cost/suggested use rate.
Instead I've been using Botanicare Raw and H&G BudXl in lieu of Boost and I've been really happy with the results. I use the sweet through the whole bloom cycle and then kick in the BudXL from the end of PK week to the last week. I cut the BUDXL last week, but keep the sugars.
I am going to try the Sugaree jberry mentioned after the Raw is all gone, that shit smells good enough to drink and it dosent cost anymore so I'm going to give it a shot. I've actually been thinking of it for a while now and since he posted about it being good, thats enough to push me over the edge and give it a shot. It cant be any worse than Raw I dont think lol
A recent addition was the Budswel, which I have used on 2 rounds now. The first tested at 20.9% THC and was kill, the round im on now I started giving the Budswel earlier and it seems to have really made them pump up the resin production, but def seems to have hurt yield just as much as it helped the resin production though which is NOT a welcome surprise... Cant say for sure yet few weeks to go... I'm thinking I may hit 25% THC which would be straight bad ass though lol... Overall I am still going to use it, but wait till later like I did the first time. Basically I think I'll start adding it the last 2 weeks only, probably wont have the same amazing THC producing effect but I cant let the yield suffer that much (if it did, which i am guessing at this point)
In soil Canna kicked the shit out of AN. and I was using damn near AN's whole line which ran like over a G for a run, fucking stupidly high priced.
In the Coco and Soil I love Canna. But the boost.... eh..... Too rich for my blood, in the end my patients kick in the same amount on the grow if I use nothing extra or a thousand dollars of extra bullshit which may or may not have done anything. So that extra G is just right outa my pocket and never coming back.
I'll get off my soapbox now lol
I run Coco in Dirtbags (like smartpots) and feed through a drip system. The Budswel is what you said, but it gives me no problems at all. That being said i dont think it sits well in nute mix for a long period of time, it would probably be okay though if you ran a res chiller and kept it cool. The res build up some funk if i mix enough for a week at once which kinda sucks... But still the drippers make it easy... PK is good cheap, highly recommend if using the rest of the line... Rep+ if I helped you out for now, coffee another time for sureThanks CannaMan!
I noticed a drop in my trichrome production after not using the boost so I imagined it had to of been the boost. My fire og tested at 22.06 % with it and 19.63% without it. Same strain, same medium same schedule, everything. BUT now I am feeling the pain with less coin in my pocket. :/ I am going to try those alternatives in my bigger set up and see what it does. Unfortunately I have to keep using it in my personal garden...it works great with a veganic medium plus for the patients that receive my veganic meds can't thank me enough for the pure medicine I produce.
Now in a hydro set up, won't the budswel clog everything up? Correct me if I am wrong, but budswel is a guano based organic nutrient? If so I don't think that will work very well with this bigger set up. I am probably just going to run the aquos line with A+B, Rhizotonic and cannazyme. Don't know if I am sold on the pk13/14. Have you personally seen a difference with running pk apposed to not running it? Sorry for the bombardment of questions...hell it might be easier if I buy you a cup of coffee lol. Thanks for all the info once again and keep in touch.

Now off to water my garden!
Thats awesome. I will be buying some 5L sometime next week. As far as the pk goes, what weeks have you guys found optimal? I'm imagining peak of flower (4th or 5th week) but I want to know your experiences. Thanks again and + rep to you for the input.Definitely recommend the PK as well. It is cheap and very effective. Within 24hrs of applying it, my colas exploded in volume growth. I even asked AZ if that was normal I was so shocked at how quickly it happened. Thought I was just seeing things....lol
Best time is when the flowers stop growing UP and start to fatten up. At the first sign of the buds fattening up (after they have gained their initial height) hit them with PK. This is basically when the clusters of hair turn to buds, during that transition time is PK time. Then right after PK you can swap it for the BudXL or another late bloom boosterThats awesome.

Hey whats up.. sorry for the delay. Anyways, I honestly dont have experience those AN products.. as for the Canna line.. I suggest just going on Canna website and they have nutrient chart calculator that will help u for your 3 different harvest times.. I would just follow their chart until u are 3-4 weeks til harvest, then I would cute back the base nutrients by 1/3 and substitute the PK13-14 for a stronger Bloom fertilizer. Then flush for the last week or as desirable. Like others here say.. keep it simple when possible.thanks for the replys j berry and bbb1974....jb i dont wanna be a pest or seem lazy but could you give me a feeding plan with the ingredients i have please i allready have canna pk 13/14.... ive got canna a+b, rhizo,cannazym,pk13/14,bud link,an big bud,cal mg,molasses.........am running mainly 9wk strains but got a couple 11wk and 15wk strains....a plan of some sort would be a great help jberry mate...all the best caspa
Hey Jberry,Hey AZ, I thought BudXL had very little nutrients in it and was to be added to other Bloom nutrients
? Maybe I'm mistaken?
