Its only gonna need water only for 4,5 maybe 6 weeks possibly longer if you pot up.

Don't drench or waterlog pots but just water a bit around smaller plants till they are full sized and really theirs no need to feed to run off or you`ll just be washing out goodness in the mix, not only that but watering this stuff to run off with young plants your gonna be drenching it and theirs no need cus roots wont spread so well on younger plants.

No don`t that you said ^^^^^^ above. Just dont feed so much so that it starts pouring run off out of bottom of your pots, you really dont need to do that yet if using Canna Terra Professional its not coco. 3 week old plant might need half a litre only fed around the plant where roots are done gently every 3 or 4 days, im not totally sure cus you've got the dirt and have to judge it, but dont waterlog the medium yet plants too small with hardly any roots, feeding to run off in this stuff wont help roots spread at all cus peat moss will be waterlogged where theirs no roots and in effect roots will find it much harder to spread.

I`m not sure how big 15inch pots are in litres ? But If you have already proper waterlogged the whole medium to run off in your pots it really shouldn`t need watering again for 5, 6, 7 possibly longer days. Try judging it by picking up pots and when its much lighter then water a wee bit again around plant, as plant grows feed more water. Don't panic thinking it needs some water after 3 or 4 days if pots are still heavy cus if plant looks ok your good.

Its a shame a dirt grower doesn't pop their head in to give you hand cus im useless with lots of this shit. :roll eyes:

Same thing applies to coco in those bigger pots if plants really small and you`ve proper soaked pot it shouldn`t need another feed for 4 days or so, it will help roots spread out. Once plants are much bigger and able you can really abuse them.

Hello Jamie I am using terra professional mate it's really easy it's really not a lot different from coco really (which I used for years) this is the first time using the terra professional but not the first time in soil. Any way the pH needs to be between 5.8 when plants are small and 6.2 when mature I'm in 15 litre plastic pots I'm watering every 3 or 4 days to run off just like coco really I haven't read thru all this thread but Mr scoops says you have over watered so don't water again until the pots are light if the plants are small water with 10 per cent of your pot size every other day for example I'm in15 ltr pots so I would use 1.5 ltrs easy hope this helps mate

Multi strain soil grow by wrh is my diary if you want to look you will see the difference in the plants when I changed the pH to 6.2 I would usually use 6.6 for soil but the lower pH works better with the terra professional
