You might also consider experimenting with lollypopping some of these plants and when they hit 7" tall top 'em, right? Make one or two and try LP...Good recovery and keep on the lookout for buggies.i think its been 4 weeks since i switched the second batch into the grow tent, under the LEDs.

And two plants are doing particularly well, while the 3rd plant is starting to take off. The 4th plant is still underdeveloped, needing more time.
One plant I have stopped training it, she can just fill out and grow taller. The second plant is starting to fill out as well after bending some of her offshoots, where she is also now allowed to grow taller & fuller. The third plant I have also just trained 2 offshoots to cover more of the canopy.

I'm waiting for the last, 4th plant to fill out, then I am flipping to 12/12 on/off light cycle. At least 4 weeks more of vegetative phase.
Don't know what I am doing differently to the first failed batch - same soil mix, same feeding/watering schedule/routines, yet I seem to be getting different/better results...

i am still nursing the first batch - ride with the punches, hey. got some plans, including nursing them to be my next outdoor season (3 months away from spring!) or motherplants to take cuttings, etc - see how they develop, all is not lost. Setbacks, but still in the game, heading towards the end-game.
and the story continues...

How tall is the tallest plant?fingers x'd, travelling okay with the batch in the grow tent.

I have mostly stopped training these plants.

it's been now been 6 weeks since the dramatic switch of plants. I am still waiting for the 4th plant to grow taller/bigger, before flipping to 12/12 on/off light cycle.

not sure, another at least 2 weeks, maybe 4 weeks more in this vegetative growth phase - i no longer make a schedule/timetable, the plants dictates actions.
a little more patience, huh.
i see how plants of different growth developmental stage, makes things a little awekward to manage. the timetable to flip is determined by the growth of this 4th plant....while the other 3 plants are now starting to fill their parts of the tent.
Ask a busy person to get something done first...Sounds like it is all coming up well for you. Keep it keeping onmy ongoing experiment, crude DIY single-bucket DWC.

i have been pouring a jug of its nutrients, out of the bucket, then pour the jug over the clayballs at least twice a day.
haven't changed its nutrient solution for 2 weeks - now thinking of doing a nutrient change this weekend.
View attachment 990357
it is what it is, actually happy with this result, more tinkering and attention/care needed -but the basics are there.
View attachment 990358
got a few things on my plate, 2 grow areas, other cuttings and things overflowing (well, not reserviors, knock on wood).
for what it is, i now know that i can take cuttings this way and i can get started doing DWC.
"Less is More" would be what some would say. I don't have access to Canna Boost -- but why not. Go ahead and flip the switch because your stems are stronger and won't bend this thyme. I'm also in the southern hemisphere 6:15 am first light 6:45 dark time....Looking good and remember it is Last Chance Marianne to trim and defoliate.Should I be concerned, one of the plant G1, has shed a few lower leaves, yellowing? i suspect its because the top canopy of the plant is filtering lower light strength, not nutrient-deficiency.
This is the time when my first batch fell over, just when I was going to pull the trigger, so to speak - flip the LEDs from 18/6 to 12/12 on/off light cycle. I'm planning to flip this weekend. Haven't yet figured out the hours yet.
I haven't fed any of these plants, as I didn't think they required it. Question is, when its so close to this flip, should I just flip it as planned, and see how they develop?
Bit anxious.
hey, should i get Canna Boost for my Canna Terra Professional based soil mix, to apply during this flowering stage? and do i need anything else, or do I sit and let the plants develop as they are?
post pickies next post, after next watering.

Don't get too hard for yourself. We all started everything the hard way. Gain more knowledge by reading some helpful threads. Keep planting. Keep growing. I'd like to share that I read a blog at local online store in our area where the writer would always remind new ones to keep going no matter how disappointing will be the outcome. I learned.
Going bowling sounds like a good recreational plan...clearly working too hard on your hobby, but good results. Take a measurement of your tallest and smallest plants and see what % growth you get in flower...33% is my guess.pulling the trigger today, flipping to 12/12 on/off light cycle from today.

preparing for this flip, i pulled out these 4 plants from the tent, removed some lower leaves, clipped off some small lower growth, took some more cuttings. didnt i just say before, i'm running out of space.
View attachment 998221
cleaned the tent. dropped a fan onto a plant, shit!
View attachment 998222
gonna run 12/12 from 7 am to 7 pm, so i can tend to the plants early in the morning before i go to work, and to tend the plants straight after work, when required. 7 am to 7 pm works better for the fans to run, rather than during the night.

been concerned about this purple tinged plant (pictured below), droopy, though she is about to get her watering. she has been difficult grow (for me), she is what she is - see how she goes into her flowering phase. she has the strongest body odour!

the tent is air- and light-tight, no external/internal light leakages, zipped up. when it turns off at the regular 2 pm this afternoon, the LED is to be changed to its full flowering settings and the timer. the lights are to turn on 7 am tomorrow morning, so this initial 17 hours dark period, before its regular 12/12 on/off cycle.
i need results, i need to turnover the batch in the g-tent, its time to move forward towards harvest. to clear the tent of this current batch, so I can go onto the next grow. also, I want some buds in my bowl.

I can't read Australian, sorry. I think they want you to buy more and more and more of their products. Recording everything is a good idea.i haven't yet figure this out, and i haven't been following it, at all.
Grow Guide | CANNA Australia
The complete growing guide and nutrient calculator including how to instructions for growing in hydroponic systemswww.canna.com.au
how does this grow guide work?
i'm growing in 3 or 5 gallon pots with Canna Terra Professional mixed with more perlite. and i haven't used any of their nutrients, only Cannazym to the watering.
looking at these chart and Canna website, as I'm getting that Canna Boost - and was checking its details.
