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.
