My plants are out bush and I've been over watering abit. I had been doing every 4 days. This last trip I held back longer even with the hot weather and they where still happy 7 days later. Have them a good flush and that was about it

I have to water everyday at this point i had them in full sun but they actually got burnt my suggestion is dappled light thats how mine are setup and there doing much better

any chance you tried feeding nutes with the water in the middle of a hot day 

canna loves sun & in general won't burn under it but trying to feed a plant 

when all it wants to do is hydrate itself from the heat will cause probs like burning 

imho , when temps reach the high 20's & above just feed plain water no nutes

Hey mate nope i didnt feed the plants as i have slow release fertilizer soil so i didnt spill and water mixed with nites on the leaves but they burnt all 4 plants have been burnt from the sun a little bit but since moving out of full sun they havent had the same burning again

[itchybromusic]

Hmmmmmm , your right wet leaves in the sun can burn plants 

but with no water on leaves what could be the prob , 

 

do you water in the middle of the day , cause leaves can get burned 

from within the plant , like burnt tips with to much N fert 

 

maybe if your watering in the middle of the day , the slow release is releasing nutes

when you don't need them , try only watering morning or night & see if there's a diff 

 

canna is a sun lover & seeds pop up in direct sun all the time , something else happening i reckon

I have brown tips on every leaf.

Not a lot , just right in the tips.

I was using Yates Thrive liquid plant food as per bottle.

It's over 30 degrees every day at the moment so I've been watering every three days.

What's the cause and can it affect bud size?

[Harry Bootlace]

too much fertiliser.

lay off a while and then use lower strength, also note need/want different nutes when flowering (dunno what this yates one is, so cant comment if its suitable)

[Cantgrow]

Yeah thought it was.

I have some Potash liquid, would that be better?

So watering every three days isn't too much?

[Harry Bootlace]

cant say, you have to see in person really to know when to water, for me, I am now watering twice a week.

but mine are at home, so i can judge if needs extra or less easily.

 

Dont know about liquid potash, sure someone will know.

[Carbcon]

Have used the liquid potash from Searles with purple powerfeed on blooming tomatoes.

Goes real well. Haven't got a canna plant to flower yet to try it.

So I have two plants that are supposed to be the same strain (GG Allen) but look completely different.

First one has been growing the longest and budding for around 3-4 weeks now.

The leaves are smaller and no matter what time of day, they are always droopy and look withered.

Haven't applied mutes for two weeks as leaf tips were going brown.

Why is it so sad looking?

Where as the second plant is larger, huge leaves and always points up to the sun during daylight hours.

It has just started to get white hairs. Again no mutes due tip burn.

 

Just can't understand why one plant looks so sad.

I've been giving each plant 5 litres water ever three days, as it's over 30degrees every day.
