I'm growing in canna coco buffered to 5.8. I read it required lower (and fairly strict) pH control.
I'm just following (blindly) articles I've read on growing in canna coco and nutrient feeding like happypotfarmer dot com/best-ph-growing-weed-coco-coir-canna-coco-nutrients and 420magazine dot com/community/threads/ph-and-nutrient-uptake-charts.114733/

planning on varying between 5.7 - 6.0 and will test run off to adjust once I'm at that stage.

Thanks @archie gemmill . I read that pH issues were the thing that most people starting out had problems with. Second was overfeeding/watering and that coco was good for helping with the latter. Third was environment temp/humidity. I've tried to make sure I'm gonna be good in all three before I started.

Huge props to forums like this helping educate newbs like me, it's been invaluable.

Playing the waiting game today, no sign of shoots yet, it's all going on beneath the surface I hope

I’m on my first grow, I’m discovering it’s one long waiting game, and I am not a patient man lol

@Sleeper143 must be tough going on the waiting then!
For me it's the lack of experience so doubts creep in (did I feed too much, too little).

Anyway, it looks like someone's happy today at least!
