Ok Craig great to have a base line to work with. Do the exact same thing today and measure the run off do not worry about measuring the ph of the run off. We are trying to bring it down to about level to what you are putting in. Hopefully this will stop the claw leaves, look to the new growth to see they are flat or praying to light. if you can put a few pics up would be a great help.

Yeh the new growth looks ok craig. What is the R/H in the cupboard?
Craigjw (25-02-16)
I can't tell you the R/H. I have a humidity a temperature/humidity thing somewhere, but for the life of me I can't find it.
It's not humid in there and the temperature goes between 19-25 C and the ventilation is good.
You may be able to see in these new photo's that the leaves aren't forming a claw shape and the two that are, have started to grow out of it.

How is she coming a long Craig?
Craigjw (25-02-16)
I have some pics from a couple of days ago, will put them up asap, aswell as some today.
The run off is settled around 508, with a starting ec of 580. All the leaves are developing well now.
I'm not sure at what point I should be adding the Canna Coco solution A & B.
Also, I think that I should thim off the top, to develop outward growth as I'm not sure that I want a single shoot, should I just chop the top off perhaps, leaving 2 or 4 side shoots or just go for a single. Any advice on this please.
Thanks in advance.
Here's some photos from a couple of days ago
Here's some now

As you can see from the pictures, the strip LED's - the white strip things behind the plant, aren't working at all, as they have all but completely fallen off now after several attempts at sticking them to the mylar backing.
She actually looks a little root bound Craig. As she is in coco this should be fine to leave her for a while before potting up. She does not look hungry but i would start feeding her now on a low dosage of A & B plus your rhizo. 1 ml per litre of A & B should take your EC up to about 700, if it goes higher just reduce the amount of A & B.
No need to top yet will wait for the 5th inter-node then top back to the fourth. This will help with lateral branch growth, the leds keep things tight any way.
A fan blowing over the plants would be good as it will dry the top of the coco and prevent the algae from forming.

Thank you for reminding me about the fan, I have a fan which was installed for that purpose, I guess I forgot to put it back.
I took a peak at the roots, I was gentle! and was going to mention this, as I'm also in accordance with thinking that it should be re-potted soon as there are quite a few roots around the edge of the soil. I don't think it's quite dense enough yet, but will put up a photo so that you can take a gander also.
