Pruning while in 3rd week of bloom?

[richy]

im on 2nd grow in coco now and have a lot of twised growth anyone no why ? im on beginingof week 3 of bloom. what ppm do you recommend im useing canna coco a/b a/n carboload canna boost canna enzym rhizotonic bigbud pk13/14 these are all nutes i have acsess to.does any 1 actully ever get 10 oz per plant i average 3/4 on good runs onlt ever 1 got 6.5 oz id be happy with 5oz lol

 

[Jbonez]

Your ec sounds high, possibly contributing to a low ph...

You shouldnt be running any boosters in the first 3-4 weeks of bloom.

Carboload is pointless unless you run bennies..

10oz per plant, outdoors? lol Most Ive seen indoors is 6oz from a strain that yielded and was vegged 2 1/2 months vertical...

Ph your solution to 5.5-6

 

[richy]

wats bennies

 

[Jbonez]

my ph has been 6.0 it was the ec at 1.4 not ppm think its only 800 ppm is that high still

Not in my opinion. I wish I could keep my plants in bloom under 1500!

 

[richy]

1500 ppm that's high isn't it ?

 

[richy]

If leaves are yellowing off a little would you just add a few more nutes up the ec a little

 

[HarryM]

1500 ppm that's high isn't it ?

Yes, I consider it high. BTW, yellowing, crispy leaves means nute burn to my, IMHO.

 

[richy]

There not crispy on this grow just goin a little yellow any advise

 

[HarryM]

I'm not much on advice, but I just cut back to 800 ppm, after flushing at 125-200 ppm. So... perhaps if you have nute burn, you might flush. Hope that helps.

 

[richy]

I did a couple of flushes as I had twisted growth n dark green leaves thinking I'd feed too much then half feeds for a couple of feeds thenn yellowing appeard a week or 2 later so iv just started feeding as normal again hopin yellowing woul go

 

[HarryM]

I have found that it takes 3-5 days for changes to show up. It sounds like you are on the right track. Every growing book I have read (Cervantes, Green and Garden Sage) state that you can feed at much lower (e.g. 1/4 strength) levels than the nute people say you can.

 

[richy]

Well gave them a couple of feeds now at 800 ppm 1.4 ex u think that's about right ? Just can't get this coco right never had problems like thisb4. But then again it is a complete newgrowing area too

 

[HarryM]

This is my first grow with Canna Coco. I had to learn to always feed to run-off (5-10%). I keep a record of all plants fed, how much and run-off ppm. I know that coco run-off ppm is not very reliable, but it is a good gross measure.

 

[richy]

Just done a feed of 600 ppm 5.8 ph
