I've been a fan of CANNA from the first time I used their products. I haven't used all they have, but those things I have tried worked exactly as they said they would. Especially the rizontic which I think should be listed under the sub-heading of "Magic" Anyway, I see they have a new product, either it's out or it's going to be released soon. Something called "CANNA AQUA". It sounds too good to be all it says. No adjusting the PH? I mean it doesn;t say hey have buffers, their products are "more stable" than they used to be...it actually claims the PH will remain between 5.2 and 6.2 without us needing to do a thing. I realise a full point is a big differnc inPH, but …

HAbill, just thought i'd share the meanings of the name KALI for you as a thanx for being a decent human cheers mate spaceleaf.......... it says something about shiva mating with kali... mmm...billo's black shivakali??? .....spaceleaf......

Just wanting to know, as a flowering plant continues to sprout new shoots is it harmful to continue taking cuttings, should I avoid taking cuttings or is this a good time to make clones if I know it is a female? I've just got a few plants that I've been growing indoors, I'm probably flowering them a bit early. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

ive been having trouble with clones getting going, and i just noticed my 2 part grow nutes part B has salt biuld up hard stuff at botton so i chucked it out, would this be the trouble im having was about 1 year old?

Greetings Green thumb people. Now I am retired and have some time on my hands. Can someone please advise on how to "Prune" basically ? Just beginning to dabble seriously again , I have grown one other plant last year quite sucessfully , nice head and quite good...only problem is, that's all there was. Great big long stem with about 4 leaves and one nice size but "so.so" head. How do you B'bushy..it up rather than just all stalk and one head.? All surgestions appreciated. Thank you !

My tap water ec is 0.7. I tested some rain water out of the tank and it was 0.1. My question: is there anything in rain water that wouldn't show up on the ec reading that would be bad for my plants or bad to smoke bb

hey all, at the moment im 3 weeks into flowering using canna Aqua,ive been running EC 0.9 for last few weeks,but last night i raised it up to 1.2 EC as i was told i was running my EC a little to low.anyways what im trying to find out is,how long will it take before i see the change on the plants ? if some how my EC is too high when will i see leaf tip burn & what not. what changes should i be looking for in my plants,what are the first signs in the plants if the EC is to high ? is it true that i should keep raising my EC little by little every other day untill i see slight leaf tip burn, then back off the food level just a little when i get tip burn and this shoul…
