Advantages of CANNA Start:

Only one bottle needed. CANNA Start is a complete one-part nutrient, meaning it contains all the needed elements in one bottle (no A and B versions needed)

CANNA Start links up perfectly with all other CANNA nutrients. Once cuttings are transplanted from plugs into the final medium, you switch from CANNA Start to the CANNA (Vega) nutrient suitable for the medium you’re growing in (CANNA TERRA, COCO, HYDRO or AQUA) for the remainder of the cycle. It’s especially great in combination with CANNA RHIZOTONIC. With this combination, your plants will get the strongest and thickest roots.

Reduces the risk of overfeeding. Cuttings and seedlings have different needs than established plants. A normal nutrient for the vegetative stage is not suitable for cuttings and seedlings because you run the risk of overfeeding.

Reduces the risk of plant material turning yellow. Diluting a vegetative nutrient to make it more suitable for cuttings and seedlings isn’t the answer. Such a dilution doesn’t contain enough micro and macro elements. This causes yellowing of the plant material; not a good start for your crop. To ultimately achieve strong, healthy plants at the end you have to start off right at the very beginning. That’s why CANNA developed CANNA Start; to get the exact ratio of all nutritional elements, right for cuttings and seedlings.

CANNA Start is perfect for growers who:

Grow from seeds

Take their own cuttings

Put the seedlings or cuttings in small pots first, before transplanting them into the final medium

Why should you use CANNA FLUSH?

When used just before harvest it makes sure the plant gets rid of all excess, which will lead to a clean and tasteful harvest.

CANNA FLUSH effectively cleans the substrate without killing any useful bacteria or beneficial fungi, as can be the case when you use reverse osmosis or de-mineralised water.

It can be used on all substrates.

CANNA FLUSH is recyclable.

Before harvest (annual crops only)

Start one to two weeks before harvest and apply at above rates and in the above fashion once a week.

Continue through harvest on a normal feeding schedule.

Re-using inert substrates

CANNA FLUSH is ideal for cleaning inert substrates (like clay pebbles). Add diluted CANNA FLUSH (40ml/10 litre tap water). Soak for 24 hours then rinse with same amount of tap water. Repeat if necessary.

The Natural Way to Control Pests

Mildew, whitefly, aphids, spider mites, mealy bugs… The world is full of diseases, pests and parasites that are looking for an opportunity to infest your plants and ruin your crop.

Of course, you want to protect your plants in the best way possible. But how? Harsh chemical pesticides may get the job done, but they pollute the environment and poison your flowers and fruits. But on the whole the more traditional disease and pest control methods just don’t work well enough.

CANNACURE is a product that has it all. Environmentally friendly, this product eliminates pests and mildew, while stimulating growth and blooming.

CANNACURE is CANNA’s first plant pest and disease controller. Developed by CANNA Research Laboratories, it’s unlike any other plant protection product, because it’s also a leaf nutrient. It ensures healthier plants, which can concentrate on producing big flowers and bigger yields. But it’s not only CANNA’s scientists who are convinced of the quality of the product. Since it was introduced, it has won the praise of many growers.

How does it work?

When you spray CANNACURE, it forms a second natural ‘skin’ on your plants. This layer improves leaf colour and vigour and while ensuring that the plants can still breathe. It makes them healthy, shiny and clean, enabling optimal photosynthesis. This gives the plants the chance to focus on flowering.

Also, any plant pests will get stuck to the sticky layer, so they won’t have the chance to damage the leaves. Eventually, the pests will starve to death. Combined with other CANNA nutrients and additives, CANNACURE will help your plants to resist any future infestations and diseases.

What is the difference between soft/hard and/or bad water and what can you do about it?

Soft water has an EC level of below 0.4. With CANNA CALMAG AGENT you can raise your EC level to 0.4.

Normal water has an EC level between 0.4 and 0.5. It contains calcium, magnesium and bicarbonate to stabilise the pH. All CANNA products are designed to work best with this type of water.

Hard water (EC>0.5) contains more calcium and magnesium than the plant can handle. When you’re growing plants, the best way to treat this kind of water is to use a reverse osmosis filter and then mix your hard water with the R.O. water, until you reach an EC level of 0.4. Or, more easily, you can use 100% R.O. water and then use CANNA CALMAG AGENT to raise your EC level to 0.4.

Bad water (EC>0.5) contains mainly sodium and chloride.

These two elements block the uptake of nutrients and can even become toxic to your plants. With a reverse osmosis filter, you can remove both these elements. But making a mixture of R.O. water and bad water will not bring in enough calcium and magnesium, only bicarbonate to stabilise the pH.

Make a mixture of R.O water with the bad water until you reach an EC of 0.2 and then add CANNA CALMAG Agent to this water until you reach an EC level of 0.4, or use 100% R.O. water in combination with CANNA CALMAG AGENT until you reach EC level 0.4

Trace Mix

CANNA’s TRACE MIX consists of several trace elements that are essential for the development of your plants. These trace elements are used for several enzyme systems and therefore have an influence on the development of plants.

TRACE MIX is a mineral fertiliser, which is extremely suitable as a supplementary nutrient to stimulate the growth and bloom of plants. Besides that it can serve to reduce the deficiency of trace elements.

Nitrogen

CANNA Nitrogen stimulates the growth of your plants. It plays a major part in the production of proteins and in the energy metabolism, which is essential for the development of the plant. It can be used for nitrogen deficiency and as a supplementary nutrient to stimulate the growth. CANNA Nitrogen is also an essential nutritional element for improving the juice production.

The liquid can be directly absorbed by the plant and improves the vegetative growth.

Phosphorus

CANNA Phosphorus influences the bloom and the secondary metabolites and can in addition directly be absorbed by the plant due to its liquid form.

CANNA Phosphorus is the perfect product for stimulating the bloom or cure the phosphorus deficiency of the plant. It is an essential element that plays a major part in the plant’s energy system.

Application

To be applied as a phosphor fertiliser, amongst others, in the case of a phosphorus deficiency.

As a supplementary remedy to stimulate the bloom.

Dosage

Dilute 10-20 ml concentrate per 10 litre of water (1:1000/1:500).

Magnesium

CANNA Magnesium is essential for photosynthesis. It is an essential atom in chlorophyll. Furthermore, magnesium influences other pigments and physiological processes. This makes it an essential element in the development of the plant.

CANNA Magnesium can be directly absorbed by the plant and therefore the effects can be seen quite soon. It can be used as a fertiliser for magnesium deficiency and as a supplementary nutrient to stimulate the growth and bloom.

Calcium

The plant tissues are optimally stabilised by using CANNA Calcium. It stabilises the cell wall, influences growth hormones and regulates the transport of water and nutrients in the plant. In addition liquid calcium can be directly absorbed by the plant, so that the cell tissue is immediately strengthened.

CANNA Calcium can be used as calcium fertiliser to replenish a deficiency or as a supplementary nutrient to stimulate growth.

Iron

CANNA Iron fulfils a number of important functions in the plant’s total metabolism and that makes it an essential element. It plays the major part in photosynthesis and a large part in the production of chlorophyll. Furthermore it has a big influence on physiological processes and on the energy system.

CANNA Iron can be absorbed directly, can be mixed with all fertilisers and is stable with each pH. It is a perfect product to replenish iron deficiency and to stimulate the growth and bloom.

Potassium

You can optimally improve the quality and the quantity of the blooming top by using CANNA Organo Potassium. This organic product makes the cell wall stronger and in addition increases the resistance. CANNA Organo Potassium improves the bloom, the production of proteins and carbohydrates. Also, it improves the water management and the transport of water and nutrients in the plant.

This fertiliser should not be mixed with magnesium and fertilisers containing calcium. As potassium fertiliser it can be used for example when there is a potassium deficiency. As a supplementary nutrient it can serve to stimulate the blooming phase.

Use CANNA D-Block pre-emptively with every irrigation (the product is completely non-toxic) and make sure that the pipes and dripper remain wet internally between irrigations.

Before every new crop, it is advisable to fill the system with clean water and D-Block (with an adjusted pH of 5.2) to protect the system and prevent any obstructions during the next cultivation.
