Hey everyone, just in the middle of transplanting the plants to their final homes...the 20ltr airpots. I'm doing this not a moment too soon looking at the roots!!!! Very pot bound...but some healthy looking roots to say the least.

I have pre soaked the Canna coco with PH 5.8 water, and giving them 5ltrs of PH tap water with half strength Canna coco A + B, with 2 drops of Superthrive, and full strength CalMag. I also found some Mychorrhizal fungi at my local garden centre. It says it is for roses but ima gunna see what happens on my girls!!
I also added perlite, as I found the coco was retaining too much water at the very bottom of their last pots. The plants have also been topped again.

Pics up when im finished!

Nice and vibrant. Good looking roots too.

Howdo all you good folk!!

Was in the planthouse before and accidentally snapped one of the main branches that had been topped! BUGGER!!
So one plant now has one main stem again instead of 2
Also noticed that where i had attempted to 'top' a plant, ive actually fimmed it instead without meaning to!!! Oh well as the name FIM suggests i guess haha..cant be a bad thing

Hope everyone is well, and feel free to chime in with any comments/criticism/advice
Peace.

oh just a sneaky pic of my Akorn AKA Snowbud from my previous grow....she was a monster during veg.

A true fim. Haha that's how it goes. I've tried but only able to do it on accident.lol
Looking great brother.

 

[FunkySkunk]

Haha yeah your right Dusty, and thanks! The plant i did it on now has 6 main colas ... not sure wether to top again or leave it as it is.
Started to train them to get a manifold shape and to get some proper bushes on the go! I'm watering them daily now as i read somewhere that if you treat Coco like soil, you will get soil results....So im pumping them with nutes for 3 days then PH water....

and the branch i snapped off

evening 420

Quick update with pics...

finally starting to see some roots out the bottom and the sides of the airpots, I think i had the coco to wet at the time of the transplant so they didnt go in search for water. Growth has been pretty slow because of this I think. But its all good, starting to really speed up now, a week before I flip to 12/12

I've been having quite a lot of PH run off fluctuation, not sure why this is as ive only been varying feeding by 0.2 either side of 6. Any other coco growers experienced this? Runoff has come out at 6.8 before!!!

anyway hope your all good, enjoy the pics.

also had a bit of a defol...

 

[FunkySkunk]

Hello everyone!!! Just a quick, very happy update....I've finally hit my coco PH sweet spot! The plants have really accelerated and started stinking the last 2 days! I also backed off the Canna Coco A + B a little, it looked like they were starting a nitrogen toxicity.

The pics below are of my girl I mainlined.... She has absolutely responded fantastically!!! Looks so healthy! This is also the plant I FIM'd by accident ..she has 14 main colas i think....

[FunkySkunk]

Any suggestions/comments? Is there anyone still following this journal?

 

[DemonicAngel]

They are looking great thus far. Keep it going

 

[FunkySkunk]

Why thankyou very much! excited to see how 12/12 goes. I've also got some Canna Rhizotonic arriving tomorrow, to give a bit of a boost to root development before full flower. I know its a tad late, but i'm hoping it will be of benefit, and will come in for the next grow!!

Peace ,Funky.

 

[DemonicAngel]

It might be a tad bit late but it will still benefit your plants and yes you will still definately have if for your next grow.

 

[DemonicAngel]

I can't wait to start my grow. Waiting for my plants to finish off in a little while. I plan to turn some heads hopefully lol.

Bignugz, thanks! I too love a topped and trained plant....so much more pleasing than the natural conical shape!
