What is CANNA Start?

CANNA Start is a balanced one-part nutrient for seedlings and (rooted) cuttings. It can be used on various substrates like coco pellets, jiffy plugs, seed mixes and most other propagation media, except re-circulating systems and clone machines. Propagation media is a substrate on which you can reproduce plants.

CANNA Start gives you all the micro- and macro nutritional elements for a seedling or cutting to encourage a healthy plant.

Why choose it?

• CANNA Start is a one-part nutrient, that contains all the needed elements in one bottle (no A and B versions needed)

• 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 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, SUBSTRA 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.

How to use it?

• Shake bottle well before use

• Fill nutrient reservoir with water

• Dosage: 40 ml/10L maximum

• The EC of CANNA Start dissolved in (tap) water varies between 0.7 – 1.3 mS (= the solution EC + the water EC)

• Recommended pH: 5.2 - 6.2

• Make sure there is sufficient drain (10%)
