Reflecting back I've rarely been happy with canna crops, tbh I'm reluctant to entertain the thought but it's what it is?
Since changing to hydrocrop and megacrop my crops have been so much tastier, I'm not complaining but I find it suspect af that suddenly things are working out better than ever at the change of nutrient?
If you've used canna coco how did you find it namely for flavour?
Edit...Update on ec increase to 2.2.
Before...
After
The reluctance to raise ec above 2.0ec runs deep lol so yeah valuable lesson learned sometimes 1.8ec simply isn't enough.

You mean canna coco the nutrient line ? I use the a and b but I don't use the whole line for flowering I've been using buddahs tree for the last two runs I've only ever used the canna line a few years back and I was pulling the plants too early anyway when I look back day 56 no matter what they come down

I use that I smoke all my weed through a bong so it's only really the first few hits are flavour the rest are just bong hits and taste like generic weed

I've been in a similar boat with hungry plants and high humidity tbh I'm at peace with the humidity now I don't stress about it anymore.
Ambient temps, I know with certainty its hotter under the light as I can feel heat when working under it, I need to put a thermometer on the canopy to check the difference?
Time is flying by it's almost the end of wk5.

Blueberry twist.
Lemon cherry gelato.
Fruity pebbles.
Something I'd overlooked in regards to better flavour is I'm harvesting earlier now around 65/70 days, white/cloudy with a scattering of amber?

Hey bud thanks, I'm literally just back from adding 0.2ec to my reservoir that's 2.2ec that's as much ad I've ever needed.
I couldn't work it out tbh but that could be how my regular plants have yellowed this time but not previously when I've grown them with same ec, that does check out?
Do you ever get condensation forming anywhere in your tent?
I used to be ocd about it until I discovered running the fan constant eliminated it, although it's humid af in my tent it always feels fresh, I'd highly recommend trying it if it's feasible?

Ww x super skunk (the doctor)is the most hungry plant I ever came across especially for N I can't even imagine trying to grow it under LEDs it be even harder to keep up with don't get me wrong good strain good yield good smoke but it is demanding as far as it's diet is concerned

Na mate no condensation got good air exchange/ circulation - I just don’t like running a new strain in that kinda humidity in late flower , is what it is ! I do have a fair bit of control over lung room but that’s very much weather pending kinda gig , just had to think a little harder with things like water on less humid days , selective leaf removal if big fan leaves touching ect , definitely brought out my ocd or as my mrs says selective ocd my tent grow room and fishing gear is super organised rest of my life is a cluster fuck her words lol . All good fun right , any ways on home straight now so fingers crossed touch wood and all that

These have had me questioning my soil mix all sorts mate, hard to call as first time running st think running higher temps has definitely increased there appetite maybe , all good fun and a learning curve, ESB and BG next run so that is going to be interesting .

The bluchi v3 blends in with the others too well which is a shame because its braw plant 
While I was in there i got one of the fruity pebbles.
Those sticky traps have highlighted a problem I thought was minor, I've got circa 50 fruit flies between 4x traps in 24 hrs.
They're in the air, the coco, they laying eggs and have a larval stage idk how to even approach this with plants in bloom or what with?
I read about a thing called mosquito bits does anyone know how effective is that is, something that worked at larval level would be most effective as fresh eggs would be doomed and the cycle would collapse?
@Liamp1603 how are getting on with the pm bud?
Fwiw I've been reading about sulpher powder clearing up pm and it kill bugs + improves terps, jfc I'm not promoting it but it appears to be set in stone?

For the fruit flies I'm sure you can put a layer of sand on top of your medium and it stops them from reproducing in the medium .... or it might be fungus gnats I'm sure it's one of them tho and I bought the cx horticulture pmt mixed it upThe bluchi v3 blends in with the others too well which is a shame because its braw plant

the affected plant had had the doses and it's gone not even sure if it was definitely pm no other plants had it but it's gone now and no sign of a return
just battling the warm weather I need to invest in an ac unit I have leaf curl on the blue slushies no other plants tho
I like the bluchi strain I grew two out my last run I didn get lookers but affect and smell was there I've popped another 7 I think to grow out hoping to find a keeper
I think you can get a micronised sulphur burner that creates a gas for pm but I Dno how that would go with in flower as sulphur has a strong eggy odour doesn't it
