Growing Diary: Day#28
I have been wanting it for a long, long time, and finally I get to grow my own plant. The strain of my plant is called the Northern Lights (Autoflowering Feminized) and I chose it mainly because it doesn't produce a lot of smell during flowering (presumably) and I don't have a proper grow tent yet, so I am growing in an open space.
This is my first take at canna growing and I have already made several mistakes in the course of the first month (of which I will tell you in a separate post).
Despite that, my plant is already in day 28 of steady growing and it looks quite strong, though not as bushy as I want it to be probably because of the lack of proper lighting during its first week of life (I have bought a LED lamp only after a week or more after seed germination).
So, it is day 28 and the Lady has already hit the pre-flowering which can be confirmed by the presence of white pistils in the “pockets” of the stem. It is definitely a female plant that's the reason why I call it the Lady (in green).
Today, I am going to give it water and nutrient mix because the soil is already quite dry. I try to adhere to the 1-2-1 scheme of watering schedule (watering – 2 days of rest – watering). More on that in my next blog post as I am going afk now to prepare the watering solution.
She got a little bit leggy, but otherwise looks fine!

Thank you. Do you have any tips regarding the nutrients ratio @conradino23? I use Flora Series for soft water.
I'm a LOS guy, so I don't use bottled nutes containing chelates/synthetics. You'd have to start from a scratch with me :)
I would have topped it once. Also don’t worry about a watering schedule. Listen to the plant. Sometimes it needs more water due to your environment and other factors. When growing a few plants, I like to feel them. Heavy, no water. Lite, needs water. Happy growing!
Master grower tip! Thanks for coming!
