Im growing White Russian, in Canna Professional Plus too, using Canna Vegga, Canna Flores and Canna Boost Accelerator. I love this stuff!!

I started feeding Vegga at 1/4 strength from day 6 from seeds popping, which is when I transplanted into the "soil", increasing to full strength within 4 feeds. On a four-water cycle : feed, feed, feed, plain water.

I found with this Professional Plus that if I pour water into the soil fast, then run-off happens fairly fast, and the soil retains less water, ie dried out way too fast. If I pour the water slowly, in small amounts at a time, then the soil retains a lot more water, almost double the amount. I always water untill there is some run off, about a tenth of the volume poured into the pots.

Using this feeding schedule with this soil and these nutes I have not had ANY burning, droopy leaves, or any symptoms of stress or nutrient deficiencies at all. The plants love this medium and nute combination. Just wish I had a pic or two for you. They are at day 39 of flowering now, and still look as healthy and vibrant as when they first popped their heads into this world.

So I guess the short answer with this soil is feed them, they will love it and you will see the improvement in a very very short time
Hi Diesel;

Thanks for the information! Especially, the parts about the Canna Terra / Terra- Plus soil. This information is extremely valuable to me and confirms what I had been thinking. So, even if I have to water them with a little over 1/2 a gallon at a time, then this would be okay?

What I really want to accomplish with the next watering is to get the entire pots soil wet - Something, that up until now I haven't been able to do...

Regarding the nutes - I am fairly sure that the plants are hungry, as its been quiet some time. However, the pots are still fairly heavy from the last watering, which begs for the question whether to wait 3-4 more days to feed them, or to feed them right now?? And, if I feed them right now - How much water should I give them (considering, that the pots are still heavy)?

Right now, I am thinking that I'll water them with 1/4 strenght and give each plant about 12 ounces each.... However, would be nice to get someone elses oppinion. :thumbsup:
