When we got the pH down the EC was at 1.7. so that's what we fed it with today.
Can we assume thats at full bottle instruction strength?

you actually have close to ideal background EC tbh. around 1.0 EC is generally what people will stick around feed wise as a rule of thumb. that level of feed will give you a good idea if you plants a heavy feeder ie it stays light yellow and wants more EC in the feed or if its a light feeder IE it goes dark or waxy because it requires a lower EC

background of around 0.3 - 0.4 is where most companies aim there nute range unless stating hard or soft water. the 0.3 is going to be mainly CaCo (calcium) so it sounds like your on really good footing

Looking good, id remove them leaves from the very bottom. I dont want to tread on any toes but ph should be 5.8 imo, if anything you would be looking to let it drift from 5.8 to 6.0 in the coming couple of weeks. Id personally have them at 5.9 now but the common belief is to have them at 5.8 for vrg and 6.0 for flower.

Id be looking to hit these soon with a foliar feed of epsom salts, this will help "load" them up for the transition to flower. I like to give mine a foliar feed 2 weeks before i flip to flower. and at week 2 flower. With autos its hard to predict when they will flower obviously. Cal mag is something you should have on hand to, plant magic mag n cal is cheap and good. You only need the smallest bottle. The reason i like to load my plants up is prevention rather than cure, cal mag deficiency in flower is more tricky to sort.

Its a stunning plant, id be proud to have it in my groom. Nice work guys.

Thank you keeno. Really appreciate the help. Having never ever grown I'm struggling with knowing if it's looking ok or not.
Is the ec ok or should I being that down?
This grow is a all the gear no idea thing. We got calmag. Kana roots. Pk. And sumo boost in with the a and b. When we started we got the feed chart off shogun site and have been following that. Got a feeling its total over kill and bit embarrassed to admit it on here.

EC is a tricky one as it will be different from nutrient to nutrient, and I'm about to commit blasphemy on a forum.....I havent use a ec pen In a very long time. I use the canna nutrients, I now go by ml per liter not EC. I'm sure the Sumo nutes are spot on, I just started with canna and stuck with it, its tried and tested for many years and cheap as they come.

Read your plants, atm the colour is spot on so stick where your at, I'd be starting to push it up slightly as it goes into flower.

Thanks. Just had a look at the feed chart and it has reccomended EC for each week. Think I'll just carry on with what we are doing.
