Description
Canna Hydro or Substra as it was originally called is the original nutrient from Canna engineered for run-to-waste hydroponic systems.
As substrates such as Rockwool and clay pebbles are inert Canna Hydro has been formulated to contain all the elements your plants need without causing too much to leach into the environment.
Canna Hydro has been designed to work with either hard or soft water and as such is available in two blends to suit either. As with all Canna nutrients, it is possible to lock up your plants if you overfeed them so take it easy with the overall level of feeding, and flush regularly for best results.
Also suitable for Perlite.

How to use
Pick the blend that matches your tap water, hard or soft. Use Vega for growth, then Flores for flowering, at the rate on the label.
Rockwool, clay pebbles and perlite are inert, so everything the plant eats comes from the feed. Canna Hydro is made to supply it all without too much running off to waste. As with all Canna feeds it is possible to lock up a plant by overfeeding, so take it easy with the strength and flush regularly; see our flush products.
For systems where the feed runs back to the tank, use Canna Aqua instead.
