Ok so I'm on my 2nd grow and I have now come to the conclusion that biocanna might not be ideal for cannabis and I'd really appreciate it if anybody could help out with this one because it has left me with what I'm 95% sure is a phosphorous deficiency. I had the same problem with my first grow and bought canna mono trace mix to help but I'm not sure it did (saying that, I got 16oz dried and cured off a 600w HPS 1st try :). Anyway, I've looked at what the ideal NPK ratios are for cannabis in flower, and looking at the NPK rations in the biocanna flores and bioboost it seems to be lacking quite a lot in 'P' and quite high in 'K' in respects to what the ideal should be for cannabis, then if you add boost it raises the 'P' quite a bit but then it raises the 'K' quite a bit too so you're left with something like 2.22-2.12-5.58. I read that "A highly effective NPK formula is 1-3-2 for early to mid-bloom, followed by 0-3-3 for late bloom ". As far as I can tell, what I am using isn't ideal for either stage of flower. Also, before I switched to flower, I had what looked like a slight Mg def' but I wasn't sure, so I added the trace nutes and flipped, (it was a lot worse before and I still got 16oz of good bud soooo???) then as soon as I flipped bang, from what I can tell, the typical 'P' def' symptoms, and what looks like a Mg def got worse, which stands to reason because, correct me if I'm wrong, a 'P' def' can hinder the uptake of Mg? Anyway, if I am correct please for the love of all that is green, help me because this is driving me round the twist and no amount of bong hits are helping to calm me lol. Seriously if anything it's making it worse because i'm sitting here like a philosopher trying to work it out.
Thanks for any help, info' and advice given
