    Default coco and nutrients...how to

    Put simply.
    use Canna Coco A&B from start to finish, make up solution and water with 20% runoff.
    use CANNA PK 13/14 three weeks before harvesting for 3 to 6 days added to canna A&B.
    use Canna boost Accelerator from moment of flower...how is this administered ? by spraying or direct to grow medium.

    CANNA RHIZOTONIC...how is this used ? do you soak the coco in it? do you spray the young plant?

    thanks in advance

    Canna A and B

    Mix both A and B into your water bucket in equal amounts until you reach the desired Ec on your meter (Add A first). As a rough guide starting around 0.4ec for seedlings depending on your background Ec and 0.8 for clones, raising it a point or two at a time as the plants progress. Most likely 1.0-1.1 late veg and maximum of 1.4-1.5 in flower. Use these base nutrients throughout until you start your 7-10 day flush at the end of flower.

    Pk 13/14

    Can be used in a number of different ways but the most simple way for a first coco grow is to add it at weeks 4,5 and 6 of flower- 7.5ml per 10L week 4, 10ml per 10L week 5 and full strength or 12ml per 10L week 6.

    Canna Boost

    Add into your feed/water at the first signs of flower/pistils. 2ml per litre right through until you start flush at the end of flower.

    Canna Rhizotonic

    Add into your feed/water from the start at 2ml per litre every feed until week 2 of 12/12. No need to soak the coco with it.

    Flush

    Straight tap water no additives and no Ph'ing for 7-10 days then chop

    All of the above can be added together. Additives first and then base nutrients to make up the Ec. Remember to set the ph of your water after mixing up a feed. 5.8 through veg 6.0 through flower. Water/feed daily once you have a decent rootball and water to at least 20% run off everytime. (Don't leave the plants sat in run off)

    Just to clarify, the younger the plant the weaker the mix of canna A&B getting stronger as the plant grows.
    And at the risk of sounding dumb:
    Do you mix all individual components up at their own strengths including Canna A&B in one bucket regardless of final EC...

    Yes that's right.

    Start low and increase as the plant progresses.. An under fed plant is much easier to correct than an over fed plant.

    Reading your plants will help a lot when judging the amount feed (EC). All plants are different and require different feed strengths so it's about finding your plants sweet spot. Your looking for a nice shade of green. Over fed plants will show as a dark shade of green and may also show tip burn. Both of these are a good indication that you need to reduce your Ec.

    When measuring Ec your measuring the total amount of nutrient salts dissolved in the water. So what you need to do is add in your additives i.e. Rhizotonic, boost, pk etc to the above dilution rates and test the Ec to give you an idea where it stands. Then add in your A and B until you reach the desired Ec level that you need for that particular stage of growth.

    So for example your in week 4 of flower and your plants are happy at an Ec of 1.4. You want to add pk this week so what you do is add in your pk at 7.5ml per 10L and test the Ec after. Your meter shows Ec 1.0. You now need to add A and B to reach 1.4
