    General

  1. What is the best and easiest growing method for starters?

    2. The easiest way for inexperienced growers to grow is using the CANNA TERRA line.

  2. What is a substrate?

    3. A substrate is a medium where the roots of the plants grow in.

  3. Why do I have to use a different nutrient for both the growing period and for the flowering period?

    4. a. The plant needs different proportions of nutrient elements in these different stages of development.
    b. The plants acidifies the root environment when it starts to flower.

  4. How do I know when to start giving my plant the flowering nutrient?

    5. As soon as the first signs of flowers appear.

  5. What means A & B?

    6. A & B together are the nutrients a plant needs. They are separated into a bottle of A and one of B to make the solutions as concentrated as possible. Always use A and B in equal amounts.

  6. Why are A&B not available in 1 bottle?

    7. If A & B would be together in one bottle much more volume would be needed to dissolve the nutrients. Never mix concentrated A and B together since insoluble nutrients (gypsum) will be formed.

  7. What is the biggest difference between chemical nutrients and biological ORGANIC nutrients?

    8. The biggest difference is their origin, which is the reason why the organic nutrients can be used for organic growing.
    Biological (organic) nutrients are released slowly.
    Mineral fertilisers are available from the start.

  8. What is the shelf life of CANNA products?

    9. Most CANNA products have a shelf life of two years, but there are some exceptions. Below you can find a list with the shelf life of all the different products.

  9. I want to try CANNA products can you please send me some samples?

    10. We do not have samples of our products. The smallest size of bottles we have is 0.25 litres.

     

    PH and EC

  10. What is the importance of pH measuring?

    11. pH has a great influence on the availability of the different nutrient elements. Therefore be sure the pH is always in the right range. The best availability range in the substrate is from 5.2- up to 6.2.
    But CANNA recommends a different range for each type of substrate:

    Terra 5.8 – 6.2
    Coco 5.5 – 6.2
    Others 5.2 – 6.2

     

  11. What is EC?

    12. EC means electrical conductivity. EC is a number presenting the total of dissolved salts in the water. They include salts originating from the water and salts that are the nutrients added.

     

    Additives

  12. On your website/label you advice to use PK 13/14 one week while a shop recommended me to use it more weeks?

    13. We recommend to use PK 13/14 always for one week! CANNA feeding already contains a certain amount of P and K. When the plant is in a certain stage of the flowering stage we can't increase the feed for the plant any more, so we change the PK-ratio by adding PK 13/14 for one week.

  13. Which bacteria will Trichoderma kill?

    14. Trichoderma does not kill bacteria. It stimulates the root environment so roots can develop better and with more root hairs. As a result the plant gains more vitality and develops better.

     

    Medium

  14. What different kind of substrates are there to use for growing?

    15. There are many different substrates and growing methods, which roughly can be classified into four groups. CANNA sells different nutrients specifically developed for these different substrates or methods. The three groups are Terra (peat based mixtures), Coco (coco substrates) and for inert substrates Hydro (run to waste) and Aqua (for recirculation systems).

  15. What is the difference between CANNA Terra Professional and CANNA Terra Professional Plus?

    16. CANNA Terra Professional contains perlite and is made of black peat.
    CANNA Terra Professional Plus contains tree bark and is made of white peat. For that it is a higher quality product.

     

    System

  16. I'm using a re-circulating system. Should I use HYDRO or AQUA?

    17. CANNA specially developed CANNA AQUA for re-circulating systems. CANNA HYDRO should be used when using a run to waste system. Please do not mix those two up!
