1st time grower needing advice on which growing medium to start with

[Sticky67]

For what's it's worth i ended up using pk once a week in place of the base feed during week 4, 5 and 6 for no particular reason bar having it there. I've moved to top dressing back country boost once around week 4-5 now.

@VinDeezle the Green planet backcountry blend is pretty cool hey, I've used it for a few grows now and I'm always happy with the results. Grow,bloom and the boost..

Everyone has their preferences. I usually retain my usual base nute strength, and add half strength pk just once. If they seem to like it, I'll add a second or third time. But that's usually because I'm running different strains, and don't want to risk over feeding any sensitive strains. But If a strain really responds well, you can push it to full strength on top of base nutes for around 2 weeks. I add it around week 5, as long as flowers are starting to stack along the main colas.

If plants respond well after adding pk should I add with every watering for 2 weeks from weeks 5 onwards gradually upping the dose to full strength and keeping the base nutes at full strength? Anything particular I should be looking out for if they don't respond well to it? Or just look out for burning tips.

I wouldn’t be adding it to full strength nutes..
better to lower your normal nutes then add pk.
So your EC stays the same ,,

Thanks for the response mate! Will keep an eye on the EC.

Do you add it with every watering through out flower?
I'm in coco/perlite so need to water everyday.
Afghan Bob suggested week 5 of flower replacing nutes for a week.

I've done Coco perlite mate and started at week 3 and stoped at flush ( if u flush )

For what it's worth pk imo has more salts etc so when using in Coco perlite just watch your build up at root level ( maybe a flush once a week can help )

You be right mate just keep asking questions , we all know how nerve wracking watching babies make changes and we spin about and make mistakes, unlimited knowledge here !

Cheers mate Did you add pk with every watering or on and off from weeks 3?

Yeah I think maybe you shouldn't be giving any advice about anything canna related just yet

Just parroting others in the wrong context isn't the way forward

Try resist the temptation

I've always found the serenity of the "sorry donkey" lotus position most profound while chanting chakras of enlightenment and Hindu prayers 4 forgiveness have played a massive part in attaining mindful peace that permiates the intent 2 inflict violence on others
Ohhhhhmmmmm

Now where's me meth pipe i dropped

Cheers mate Did you add pk with every watering or on and off from weeks 3?
