Canna Start

CANNA Start

• CANNA Start is a balanced one-part nutrient for seedlings and (rooted) cuttings.
• CANNA Start can be used on various substrates like CANNA terra seedmix, Rockwool, Jiffy Plugs, Flemix, Rootriot and many more.
• CANNA Start gives you all the micro and macro nutritional elements for a seeding or cutting to develop into a strong healthy plant.

Advantages of CANNA Start 

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

What Does Canna Start Do?

Canna Start, a one-part mineral-based nutrient is easy to use. It was especially designed by Canna to be used for seedlings or cuttings which have just begun to show roots. Canna Start is mild but contains enough micro-nutrients as well as macro-nutrients to help seedlings or cuttings grow into healthy, strong plants. Canna Start is compatible with all types of rooting plugs including Rockwool and Jiffy Plugs as well as Fleximix and RootRiot.

Using Canna Start

Before using, shake the bottle thoroughly. Canna suggests that you use this product at 4ml/litre. However, some people may prefer a stronger solution like 2ml/litre for first feeds. Mix the desired amount into your reservoir or feed water and stir well. You can adjust the pH if needed. Make sure that there is at least 10% runoff when feeding your plants.

Never mix nutrients, boosters or additives in their concentrated forms (i.e. Straight from the bottle Each nutrient booster, additive, or other ingredient should be added to the reservoir in its own turn. Give the mixture a stir before you add the next.
