as far as post # 18 seems like you have it dialed in.

Thanx Bro!!
Ah yeah, the humidity, growers good old friend and enemy
So I have a dehumidifier, that works 7/420 - it takes out about 12l in 24hours, f#*kin` a lot, and I don`t know the humidity without this hellmachine.
Right now it`s about 60% +/-5%
From week 6 on I go down to 50-60%
...from day 28 to 42 I use the balast`s boost function and run 2x 660W (Philips SON-T PIA Plus) - hoping for more energy (and with this more flowers) in the main flower period. From week 7 on they get 2x600W as before and as usual.
From day 48 on they`ll get only plain water, should be harvested from day 63 - 67.

Sweet!
EDIT!
EDIT!
The watering intervals:
week 5 I did 3x/day + 1 small extra feeding right before room`s night. I use 3 adjustable drippers per pot - these are dialed in. By adding the minutes I feed all in all, I came to 16min feeding per day. (Schedule: 5/5/5/1min) I broke that down to 4x 4min at week 6 and what happened: No drain! Before I had, the same amount of water/nutes going in the pot.
So I added an extra 4 min feeding and I had about 10% drain. So, instead of reducing the intervals, I added 2 more - right now it`s: 5/3/4/3/4/1min - every 2,5 hours, first feed, 40min after lights on, last feed 30min before lights off, no feeding at nighttime.
What do you guys think, good or bad idea?

Hey guys,
Not that I didn`t wanna tell u, but I forgot about when I started this thread:
I don`t use the CANNA COCO or CoGr, it`s the CANNA AQUA line I use (because of a DWC project I wanted to start bu did`t, I have a big amount of these nutes - so I decided to try it in coco in a dtw).
And as far as I can see, it`s alright, no defs, no nute burn. I had the EC up to 1.6 two days ago - too much (claws started to form), now Ì`m back at 1.45.
Having 3 strains fed from the same res, it`s an average of nutes I have to give. The OG`s and the Blue Hash`s are happy with this EC, only my AK`s need a bit more (an extra dose is given by handwatering once a day to these plants).
Now I`m in week 5 of these 9,5 weeks strains and giving the Canna Boost 75%, and Canna PK 13/14 80% of recommended strength (PK13/14 I did/will do: flower-week 3: 25-30%, week 4: 50-60%, week 5: 80-90%, week 6: 50-60%, week 7: 20-25%; - CANNA Boost: flower-week 1: 50%, week 2: 60%, week 3: 70%, week 4: 80%, week 5: 90%, week 6: 90%, week 7: 60%)
Adding some additives like Cal+Mg, pure Potassium, only when nedded.
The watering intervals went from handwatering in veg to: last week veg - feed twice a day, first flower-week: 2x/day, week 2: 3x/day, week 3: 4x/day, week 4: 4x/day, week 5: 3x/day - and an extra 1minute small feed before lights off; - I will continue reducing the watering intervalls for the last weeks down to 2x/day in the last 2 weeks - runoff will still have to be the same about 15-20%, so with less intervalls I give more plain water by each. Well, it`s only my plan, I`ll watch the girls and decide then..

UPDATE day 46
UPDATE day 46
First to say, I reduced the feeding intervals back to 4x/day as humidity went up to high, and I want dryer conditions for the girlz which are on day 46, so about 2,5 to 3 weeks more as you can see..
Reduced the feeding also down to 1.0EC / pH 5.9-6.2, no more PK13/14. only light A & B + some Canna Boost and a daily handwatering with molasses first feed a day.
Temps day dax: 30C - averrage of 27,5
Temps night min: 23C - averrage of 24,5
RH day: 45-57%
RH night: 50-62%

Buds are on swellingmode right now and getting heavier day by day.
I know theses plants from a soilgrow before already and they had very strong branches so I didn`t think about getting a net in there for the coco grow, but would`ve been great right now, because the nuggs are bending down the branches and it`s still a way to go, so I`ve to work with Jojos and bamboo... that`s a PITA when I compare to a "5-minute-net-setting" a few weeks before...
OK, learned some more!

So what your saying is bigger buds in coco ? Nice work they are going to look great all staked up love the OG and the AK ..

Thanx guys!
Definitely yes! I mean, I took pictures of the main-cola of the seed-plant mother - which had about the same size as these many buds they got right now. OK, these coco plants had more vegging (about 9 weeks - soil: 5,5 weeks), and were trained to get many branches, also had more stretch in (about 150-175% - soil about 100% - almost same conditions),.. so yeah, I want an organic medium and coco is the way to go!
