(aquanauts) First bagseed grow!

[aquanaut]

CORRECTION!: My water container is 1.36L (a V8 Splash juice container). I punched in 1.36 liters into the Canna caclulator and it gave me the same results. They must be rounding to the nearest Liter.

Day 23 - AM - Veg

• Watered this morning with nutes @ 2.8ml / 1.36L
• Seedlings were watered with nutes @ 1.4ml / 1.36L
• I think I'll switch to flowering on Sunday so I can take a watch over my new HPS system!

So instead of going with a 250w HPS I got a screaming deal on a 400w HPS digital system + Cooltube! Heat may be an issue and I may have to increase my ventilation. I'm also in the middle of trying to build my own carbon scrubber. I may break down and just order one

The one on the left is growing at a real fast pace, whereas the one on the right is so-so.

after reading through your thread the only thing i would suggest is mychorizzea for the coco....your roots will have explosive growth....more roots=more nutrient uptake=more buds:thumbsup:

looks like you are taking good care of them!:smokin:

Thanks! What's mychorizzea? Is it like Canna Rhizotonic?

that sounds more like AN's Voodoo Juice, it would be ok to use with....mychorizzea is a beneficial bacteria that roots use to help nutrient uptake...there are several brands...i think GH calls theirs sub-culture...AN's is pirhana and tarantula...i have heard of Great White....i use roots organics blue/green.

use it all alone and no nutrients for at least 3 days after applying....plain water is ok if the plants need it....do this every 2 weeks and into the 2nd week af flower and it will increase your yield! :thumbsup:

Sweet thanks! I've been curious about Roots products and have been considering moving over to Roots stuff for my next grow. How well do you think it holds up against Canna or AN?

On another note after fiddling with Canna's Grow Guide (their nute calculator). I found out it rounds whatever you enter for the target volume to the nearest Liter. 1.5L = 2.0, 2.4L = 2.0.. etc which for me (ADD/ADHD) is hard to live with. So I spun up some graph paper and my trusty pencil to do the math for my target volume based off of Canna's 1L base on Coco nutrients.

I came up with: The descriptions are straight from Canna's calculator and the nutrient volumes are based off of ratio's from the 1L base and verified with 2L base from Canna's calculator.

i use Botanicare pro bloom and grow with some various AN products...that is the only roots organics product i use....i have heard the soul synthetic line is pretty good from roots..about 80% organic.

AN...i use voodoo juice, bud candy, carbo load, kushie kush, rhino skin(ph up),and overdrive at the end.....oh yeah wet betty...gotta have her! :thumbsup:

i have never used Canna but have not heard anything bad about it:jointsmile:

Well that answers my question... the calculator is only accurate for whole litres.

Day 24 - AM - Veg

• Watered this morning with corrected nute volume.
• Rotated pots (I do this everyday)
• Getting ready to switch to HPS tomorrow morning.

I'd like to thank everyone for their comments and advice which lead me to where I am now. Thanks guys!

For anyone interested and using Canna Coco products. I wrote up a Python (programming/scripting language) app to calculate corrected nutrient volumes. The Canna calculator rounds to the nearest Liter. If you need help running it please lemme know, or you could just tell me your nute container volume and I can calc it for you real quick.

i would trim those lower branches leaving the top 3 nodes and use the cuts to make a few clones....but she is looking strong and going to make a good bush!:thumbsup:

I would but I don't have a separate area for clones or vegging =[


Day 25 - AM - FLOWER

• Switched over to the 400w HPS + Cooltube
• Light is about 3 feet above canopy (MH was about 1.5)
• Watered today with 4.2ml of nutes per 1.76L + CalMag+ as per bottle

The picture does not do justice, it is so brightin here I have to go out and install some thicker curtains. :rasta:
