Much less leggy this time around. Great start to this run!
Blue Power, top left, having a bit of a fight with its shell atm.Will give her a drop of water to help out if not got it off by end of day.
I think they look good! Just keep doing what you’re doing and they’ll be fine and monsters in no time.Ok, so an update, it's been a busy few days away with those pesky fires!
Here they are today at 10 days old. I'll be honest, I'm not particularly happy but maybe I'm just being a little impatient.
All apart from one are coming along ok give or take. The Jimmy Jacks (front right) fell over on its first night in the tent so been nursing her back in and she needs to thicken up that stem but recovering well I hope.
The odd one out is the FunkyM (front left) she popped through the soil late and then basically stopped dead and only had the cotyledons and tiny white tipped first set of leaves. My only guess was maybe the light was too strong for her so I put her on the floor up until yesterday and she has v slowly grown a little more but just seems odd to me. Anyone got any thoughts? Maybe she is just putting turbo roots down along with the others?
The environment is completely dialled in with an average of 72F/ 68%/ 0.8VPD with the light at 30" and 29% / 750PAR which translates to 200-250PAR at canopy level which should again be spot on. But if I'm being completely honest I don't think they look totally happy so what could it be? Too much light maybe is my only guess?
Any advice or thoughts most welcome. Or like i said maybe I'm being very impatient and they are about explode...

What’s your plan on pH? I use the General hydroponics drop kit and go in around 6.0. I used to think you need a meter with coco but that’s not true at all!
Canna is pretty stable and the ph doesn’t fluctuate much if at all
Lmao I forgot I don’t even PH my autos! I just mix and rip and they’ve never had a problem.
I use recharge once a week though
Recharge are microbes.Lol, or I'll just do this...not!
What is this recharge you mention?
Recharge are microbes.
Btw. I never pH'ed or Ec anything...same when back to Coco. Feed: Veganic/mineral
So in this example, if my tap water EC is 0.5 and I add 142ml/20gal of both Canna A & B, that would add 0.9EC for a combined total EC of 1.4. Am I reading that correctly? Is there more to it?
Also, I'm not going to add that to 20gal of water but more likely mix up 5 gal with it in, can I then just add that to the other 15gal of tap water in the reservoir and mix it up? That should work shouldn't it?
Any and all advice here gratefully accepted!

Hehe, y know everybody is a little edgy about sth. new and it's a process to get into it. If y know what Coco needs...psst. it's a good load of calmag.Thanks @Redneckx, that's helpful.
I think I'm just being over cautious as first ever run with coco and nutrients like this. But good to hear just slinging it on and off you go and of course all these values are 'ideal' conditions. As we all know, it's a bloody weed and tough as boots so can grow anywhere at times.
Food for thought anyway...![]()
