    Default Flowering advice for this novice!

    Hello peeps, I'd really appreciate it if anyone could help me with some flowering advice.

    Two things I wanna say first. 1. I've been feeling really unwell and dizzy the past few days so I apologise if anything doesn't make sense. And secondly, I would wait until I feel better to post this but my dad is bringing me some shopping in a day or two so I'm going to get him to go to the hydro shop if there is anything you guys think I might need.

    Right, on to the question! Can you help me work out how far into flowering this lady is?

    This is the first alive canna plant I've ever seen btw so that is partly why I'm having such confusion.


    She germinated around the 26th Feb.
    I don't know if she is a photo or auto but I guess auto seeing as I didn't flip lights 12/12 and I think she started flowering, they are 12/12 now to save money. Was on a 24w led light, upgraded to hps 3 weeks ago, on 400w. Soil grown, now on Medi-one organic nutes.

    I'll start with most recent pics then older one, they all have dates on incase I mess up.

    I think she's 3 or 4 weeks in flower?

    Also do you think there is time to add some pk booster or anything like that? And if there is anything else I should be doing now please let me know, any advice is extremely welcome. This plant was just an experiment while I grew my chillies, but now I'm using an 400w hps I kinda want to get a few grams off her to make up for electricity cost.

    Thanks everyone. Meow.

    I'd say your guess is about right on flowering age...

    Considering the LED you started with, she doesn't look too bad - but it's important to know, before starting, if they are autos or photoperiods as they should be looked after differently whilst in veg. That said, she ain't too bad, well done

    PK? you can if you wish, it probably wouldn't hurt but, if on a budget. don't be afraid to skip it

    I don't think she'll yield ounces, but she should cover her growing costs

    If my experience is anything to go by, flowering autos at 12/12 won't save you any money.

    They respond to the quantity of light that they get and halving the light doubles the time needed. That might not be exactly true but when I chopped my 12/12 autos at 16 weeks, there were still no amber trics.

    I know you want to save money on the leccy bill but I would put the light to
    18/6 at least. Better at 20/4 so that you actually get enough to make the money spent
    worth it.

    8th of June pic there are some leaf issues. Ive had similar I think and have not narrowed it down to cause. Seems to be deficient of something, I would add Cal Mag to my plants so I have Bloom City brand Cal mag containing Nitrogen, Calcium, Magnesium, boron, cooper Iron Manganese and zinc. So I wonder what the heck is missing?
