Canna Coco nutes for coir, insights?

[Beach_Town_Brit]

Who else out there is using the Canna nutrient line for coco coir?
What insights can you offer on the nutrient schedule you use?
What do you think is the perfect base Canna nutrient schedule for autoflowers?

I started out using just A+B for a few photo grows and slowly expanded to the full line of Canna Coco nutrients and additives.
I use a light feeding schedule from http://www.cannagardening.com/growguide (see pic)
As I understand it this is their schedule for cannabis growing.
The other schedules out there are for general coco growing and other specific crops (e.g. http://www.cannagardening.com/downloads/71). Apparently they don't name the custom schedules as the cannabis schedule for marketing reasons. Caveat -- this is just what I read on the internet not official word from Canna

My impressions have been that the one week, generative II stage, P/K bump isn't enough, so I've started adding 2ml of P/K to the gen I schedule too. I think I got this idea from AFN.
After talking with Tika I'm also considering cutting the Rhizo out of the generative stage schedules to try and reduce flower stage vegetative growth.

I should note that I re-use my coco coir mix, combining used mix with fresh. I also add CalMag at 5ml per gallon every 2-3 feeds, but I am thinking of stopping this once I get into flowering as something I read on thcfarmer suggested that CalMag adds too much N for flowering and the higher amounts of A+B in the generative stages make up for it anyhow.

I use a Brita filter to filter my local tap water.

I've been watering when my pots dry to about 30% of their wet weight but Canna recommends 50% so I'm trying to move up to that level slowly.

This will be interesting to see in responses
. Obviously you saw my feed schedule in journal #2. I also added 2.5 ml of CaliMagic ea gal each feed. I was told it couldn't hurt.
personally I see no reason to reuse coco coir mix, I think it's fibers have done their work already. If your coco is good and pretty clean you don't need to fret so much over salts. Again I like Premium Cyco coir.
Eager for the feed back you get

Thanks Tika, here's hoping I'm not the only one using Canna Coco on here since you jumped ship

 

[Tika]

Did you compare orange dots over no dots? For dense, trichomes, flavor?
Only a ship jumper could ask you those questions

I'm gonna try and be a bit more systematic this weekend, been enjoying it too much

I'm trying out some new nutes at the moment dude.........there are 3 parts to it veg, bloom and pk boost......the instructions on the pk boost say to start to add soon as buds show then continue until flush, whereas canna say to use it for one week only.......I must stress that the new nutes I'm using cost only £1/$1.27...........it's a keep it simple stupid experiment for me, plus it was only a quid dude

Hey vapo, quid nutes sounds great.
One of these days I'll start making my own super soil or nutes, but for now Canna is my experience base so it's what I'm gonna try "perfect" for my own grow
Baby steps.

I'm adding a little P/K as soon as the flowering stretch gets going then giving the Canna big dose (all of 5ml but it's strong stuff) once the flowers start to fill in after the stretch.

Sounds like a good plan dude, I'm gonna follow the instructions on the cheepo nutes and we can compare results, the cheepo nutes state pk 13/14 on the back
