Using Canna Coco A without B

[Bartholomew]

Hey,

So I accidentally used Canna Coco A twice. Poured a double dose of Coco A in my rez. Didn't want to add B cause of high ppm.
Is it bad to use one without the other? Didn't want to waste the nutrients so I went with it. Planning on using double dose of B next time I feed.
Am I gonna die?

PS has anyone ever slapped a full flexi tank? Feels very satisfying, therapeutic.

Look at the labels' NPK numbers:

• Coco A NPK Formula: 4-0-1
• Coco B NPK Formula: 0-4-2

You gave your plants a double dose of nitrogen and no phosphorous. Now you seem to be contemplating giving them a double dose of phosphorous with no nitrogen.

I guess I can understand not wanting to "waste the nutrients," but you are potentially imperiling your entire grow just to save a few pennies.

Dump the reservoir and refill with the right nutrient mix. Problem solved.

Too late man, lol. Well at least I'm smarter now and try not to make accidents in the future. I'll flush in a few days once the coco in pots dries.
At least Cannazym and Rhizotonic should compensate a little for the lack of phosphorous with a NPK ratio of 0-2-1 and 0.6-0.2-0.6.

Dumping the rez and refilling is kind of a problem for me. I have a 100L rez and using RO filtered water. I have no way to dump the water except drain to 10L buckets and do a few runs up and down the stairs in my house and refilling the rez takes 3-4 days. Low water pressure. Doable but a pain in the ass.

So have you? Slapped a full flexi tank I mean, hehe

You might be being penny wise and pound foolish letting a double, possibly toxic dose of nitrogen sit there for a week while the plant is starved for phosphorous, but it's your grow. Do keep an eye on the leaf tips for N burn...

It occurs to me that you could dump just half the reservoir, and then add the part B nutes...

Good luck.

Will do, Thanks

Hey Bartholomew, how old are your plants ?

[Bartholomew]

Hey

Day 25 for the AutoMazars and day 16 for the rest.

A really clumsy mistake tbh. Once I poured the A solution into the rez, I put back the bottle beside the B solution bottle and FRIGGIN GRABBED THE A SOLUTION AGAIN.
Plants look healthy tho after a mild flush.

[D.A.A.S.69]

I sure hope your plants can handle it, only time will tell, like by tomorrow evening, you'll be able to see any damage, if it's bad.
Good luck.

[Bartholomew]

Yeah we'll see

All it takes is a moment's inattention. You don't even gotta be high, just distracted. I have dumped two batches of nutes after not being sure which of four bottles I poured from or if I made an arithmetic mistake. :P

[D.A.A.S.69]

That might be your problem, I can't do sh-t straight, I gots to have a good buzz going all times, my plants want even let me in there straight. They know I'll mess up.

[Bartholomew]

Lol, might be.

[Bartholomew]

D.A.A.S.69 Have you ever had the chance to slap a full flexi tank? I swear to god it's like slapping a booty, crazy stuff

[Bartholomew]

Reporting no damage whatsoever. Maybe veeeeeery slight tip yellowing on 2-3 plants. Almost unnoticable.
