    Default Soil grow feeding in flower

    Just have a quick question

    Having got through the veg stage pretty much ok and without adding much fert at all (hot soil) im now in the third week of flower (since flip)

    Having read a lot on here and following canna's schedules im still not very confident.

    Im using Canna Terra chemical range so am i to add the flores etc upto EC 2.0 every time I water? Or is feed feed water?

    My plants are under 400W hps, I water and feed every 3 days. If you are using LED's your water and feed time would be longer. Flush with plane water every couple of weeks, before starting Feeding over again. You will just figure it out by trial and error. Then you do what works for you.

    Thanks hot shot. Mine are lasting around 3 days too before the pots go light - could be the root nurse bags drying them out quicker? I checked the EC of the run off tonight and it was around 2.4 after just giving em just water. The most Ive fed em was 1.8

    in soil dont repeat feedings..... U will always be better to feed water feed water...... If your run off is that high then you have some real build up issues. Are you getting 20% run off with each feed? Sounds to me like you could use a good flush..... get your ec back down and then continue your feeding. Are you getting issues? For the most part at this point in your grow, a good boost of cal mag should be really all that is needed. Soil is as basic as it goes as far as flower.... PIcs would help too but it sounds like you are on the right track......

    Heres my diary which had pics yesterday

    Not running into obvious problems but just had an inkling when the run off was a bit yellowish. I do always water 5 litres and let some dribble into a tray and remove.

    Noticed however that some of the lower new growth was pale but put this down to lack of light now the canopy is thick.

    Do you recommend I just water for the next week or so? Do I need calmag with the hard water we have here - around 0.5EC

    I've never checked the EC in soil grows. EC is for non-organic grows.

    Thanks Aspie

    How about looking at the run off colour? Do you feed every water?

    Soil nutes wont have you go off EC.... THe bottle should have the feeding instructions. Follow the instructions.... Run off tends to be a light yellow or almost a gold.... but again dont pay attention you need to go with what you see in soil. And again NO DONT FEED EVERY WATER!! Your plants need the break, and they need the 20% run off to fight the salt build ups. check your nutes again they should have a feed by mL/liter or some conversion for feed.

    i feed a 1/3 strength, next is a full feed, next one is plain water with a little cal/mag,
    so it's almost water feed water deal,

    works really well for me in soil, but we all find our preferred feeding cycle

    Canna does a guide on their website. For 5 litres is 32ml of Flores and 10ml of boost accelerator. It does give ppms or EC too which is 2.0 in this case.

    Doesnt say how often to feed however.

    Message is clear I will drop down to feeding every other.

    Are you using calmag in hard water areas? I'm getting purple stems again!
