Mine's Canna, a very simple mix.

Like this; Vegetative sage. 3 mL Canna Vega, 1 mL H2O2, 1 mL AU 60 Root Repair per liter of water.
And same for Flowering except Canna Flores instead of Vega.

This seems pretty good for hydroponic growing of legal plants, like how they grow legal plants in places like Canada etc... In soil ya' don't need the root repair stuff apparently.

Another goodie imho is Optimum, oh & Greendream kicks arse too...
Anyone wanna add some recommendations?

i'd have to go with a mix of seasol and charlie carp, though i am getting interested in biodynamic growing so i may shift to these preparations when i read and understand it more.

I dosed up a Brug culebra with Charlie Carp about a week ago and now the brugs goin' off, good stuff. I don't like
using organics inside though cos my grow place is in the kitchen, I tried out some Bat Guano a few months back
and my kitchen smelt like a cave. There are 4 pythons in the kitchen too and they didn't like it, 2 are bat-eating snakes... what was I thinking :roll:

yeah bat guano eh, probably not the best move

i think the charlie/seasol blend smells ok actually, just like the seaside, esp when u foliar fert!

I might give that a go for foliar feeding, I used miracle-gro this time 'round, hafta' try CC next time. Some
friends of mine swear by Charlie Carp.

I really love my nettle and comfrey compost tea (a biodynamic type of brew) - when ready it has an amazing bovine-type smell and works wonders for all types of plants.. :lostit:

if you are going to use charlie and seasol you should supplement with sulphate of potash during flowering... the extra K and P really adds some weight!

give the new CYCO range of nutes a go for a change, aussie nutes OR house and garden have just released in au, have heard excellent things of that range, has converted alot of canna users apparently.

LOL, if ya cant tell canna shits me, the way some mates go on about it like it puts gold in the buds or something but when asked if they have tried or are willing to try something else ya get the usual, "why bother when this shit IS THE BEST". Is just another brand name imo, like coke and pepsi. I guess some ppl just like to be told how to grow and dont bother reading up for themselves.

bat guano hey?
i used that stuff last time i lived in germany, haven't seen it here in oz.
who sells it? major shops like bunnings, big W, coles?
or the hydro shop?
is there a brand name?
come to think of it, you probably just got it from the bat toilet.

by **the germinator** » Mon 08,Mar, 2010 1:52 pm

I got it from Aussieponics.

bat guano is the shit for finishing plants, pardon the pun. Had excellent results when using it outdoor.

Just contacted house and garden, asked them straight out for a free sample of their "root excelurator" since i have heard so many good things about it and all they wanted was my addy so they could send me out a free bottle. Stoked, will report back if results are good.

btw ill be trying the root excelurator on my cacti seedlings when seperating and potting on aswell.
