You are at the point where growing will be more fun because you are set up for success. I’ve never tried the canna product line but hear good things.
My experience with the 4 brands of nutrients I’ve tried is that you can have success with any of them. Some more then others, but the nutrients are just one part of a successful grow. You get everything dialed in and just sit back and enjoy.
Its a quality nutrient line, just note how many grows you get out of it with how many plants. Then run the cost per plant ratio.
100$ can get me like 25lb of dry nutrients which will last me like… Idk 2 years and that’s running 45 plants in hydro (as in 100$ runs 45 plants worth in my autopots, very rouhh Geuss probably more?
Now that you are on the right track with growing medium and nutrients you want to screw that up talking about lights?
I hate guessing about important things like that so I got a quality PAR meter that measures the amount of light that a plant can use for photosynthesis. The spectrum of light that humans can see is close, but is weighted toward the middle spectrums of greens and yellows, humans actually do a bad job of seeing reds and blues. LUX meters that measure the amount of light humans see don’t work well with Red/blue orientated LED lights.
I have room for 4 small flowering spaces and 2 vegging spaces. I use Metal Hydride, fluorescent grow lights and fluorescent fixtures with LED bulbs for vegging. HPS, a 3x3 tent with a “blurple”, a 2x4 with a HLG 320 kit, and a 3x3 with a HLG 260 kit with 2 HLG supplemental 60w red/blue lights. Needless to say I get to check a lot of different kind of lights and their output. I like to be in charge.
What I have discovered measuring the blurples with their “10 watt” LEDs is that directly under the lights they are very intense but drop off significantly just 10 inches away. The intense light in a small area makes it harder to control the grow space. At 15 inches, right under the light, the PPFD of the light I use is over 1000. I don’t know if you can relate, but a PPFD of 1000 is approaching CO2 range. Most growing is done between 400-700 PPFD to get a decent daily light interval (DIL). The intense light requires aggressive feeding to keep deficiencies from showing up.
My suggestion is raise the light if you see the tips burning. Look in your manual and see what is suggested. Next thing you know, new lights will be in your future.
Here we go, not sure about one of em, but the second one I know I did pretty good, the other one was kinda small and you don’t see as much of the separation of the different branches that were just cut, I hope I don’t mess that one bro, I know you’ll be able to tell which one I’m worried about!
