K71 Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Using canna right now exactly as recommended on there chart everything is going perfect. Was running growers ark but I find it a little bit tricky to get it spot on, usually have calmg problems that start getting out of hand mid flower with certain strains. In multi strain grows I find canna suits me better Bear in mind canna nutes are designed to be used with water that is 0.4ec. Mine is 0 out of the tap so I and cal mg to get it in range first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwardio Posted October 31, 2016 Share Posted October 31, 2016 I always been amazed at what people think is skyhigh EC.... I used to hit 2.2 EC for years without any trouble....though i find 1.6-1.8 is plenty.... I guess it's strain dependent as well right.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it's strain dependent as well right..more water dependant I think.I've used it on at least 10 different strains and the highest I've been able to go is 1.4 with a pk Withou a pk I go 1.2 max Good nute to start learning with. Now after few years growing I prefer a separate grow and bloom nute but canna is perfect for a no nonsense simple grow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Growers Ark was a term for the way nutes are fed thru the life cycle of the plant....growers arc is how i actually feed my plants.....as in i start low go high then go low into flush sort of way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do yourself a favour, and buy some Hesi Coco bloom.. 3ml/ltr for veg, and 5ml/ltr for the blooming stage.. So much simpler, almost takes the fun out of growing.. IMO Nothing else needed.. Unless U wanna.. Another option is GHE MaxiBloom powder.. 1-1.2EC the whole cycle.. hi hesi bloom and nothing else, i am trying to find a simple feed routine any help will be welcome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unity Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Guys you have to ask one critical question when reading these feed charts. What size plant is this guide aimed at? A huge tree under a 2K light is going to require more food than say each plant in a SOG setup where you might have 50 plants under a 600 - take that onboard and you take the first step to feeding your plants right Ignore what the bottle says - it CAN'T be intended for YOUR plants, it's a general guide. I started on canna, and followed the guide - I burned the crap outta my plants for the first year until I read up some more on here. First change I did was to feed half the recommended amount - my next grow was immediately better, no more yellow tips. Learn to see when your plants are hungry and then give them what they need, when they need it. You don't get bigger plants by adding more food, it don't work that way. Your plant needs to get bigger by having a healthy enviroment; it's food requirements will then increase, not the other way round. A slight underfeed is sooo much better than a slight overfeed. You can correct one missed feed with one correct feed. Nute burn takes much longer to pull back from. Hopefully this might help steer someone away from the path of being a salt farmer, took me over a year to see what I was doing 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been rocking dry nutrients for couple of years.. Maxibloom, 420hydrophonics, greenleaf Megacrop RAW etc, I tend to prefer those.. Way cheaper, and cleaner to use.. YMMV..

billy wizz Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 I have been looking at powder and granulated feeds they are way cheaper .also a bit cleaner to use i bet, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greengal Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 My go to nute is Hydrocrop Hydrosol, a dry powder I buy on eBay. Never had a problem with it and I’m not using additives of any kind ...Saves me a fortune. Their feed chart has sections for light feeding, standard feeding and heavy feeding, so just choose which suites your plants best. I don’t know why all nute producers don’t do their charts that way.

Hempire Road Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 It's definitely half dose for small plants with canna . I want to try those top dress dry feeds with coco , takes away all the mixing and mess. Be good with LED's just add water . Simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greengal Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 @Hempire Road Just for info, the Hydrocrop product is not for top dressing. You dissolve the soluble A and B powders in water to make two concentrated solutions, which are then used like liquid nutes. Much better value than the premixed stuff.
