Canna Nutrient Line

Hey all,

I'm new to Canna's nutes (and the forum too:) and since we added them to our shops repertoire quite recently, I thought I'd give them a go. I'm hoping that someone would enlighten me about the Canna's nutes, as I cannot find enough information bout em on the web (Canna's site + forums).

After mixing the nutes in the correct order, you have to leave the mixture standing for a couple of hours, according to their instructions: Can anyone tell me how important this is? As I don't always stay at my grow site for longer periods, it would be crucial to me to know how long I have to wait with the mixture before feeding it to my girls.

General opinions about Canna nutes are also HIGHly appreciated.

Thanks in advance. o0

well the work very well i have seen it done... im about to run the hydroponic line

Canna nutes work just fine, I think CannaBoost is a bit too expensive though, I picked up a free sample at a show and I didn't find it made much difference,(it is supposed to increase the plants rate of photosynthesis) I have one more bottle spare so I am planning to try it again in the future.

I mix my nutes about an hour or 2 before I use them. I seem to recall that this is what it says on the bottle. I have no idea what difference it makes.

The best feeding charts for Canna nutes that I have found are in my photo album, check them out. The official Canna feeding charts are a bit crap in my opinion, they are not that easy to follow for novice growers. I have used the full range of nutes and also just basic veg+flower nutes and PK. When I use the full range my plants do marginally better, but I think this margin will increase now I have better lighting.

I have also tried Dutch Pro and VitaLink, I have not noticed any noticeable difference in growth over the 3 brands, they have all worked just fine and havn't needed much tweaking to the feeding schedule to get decent results. I am currently using Canna Hydro Vega+Dutch Pro Take Root for veg and Dutch Pro Original Bloom+Dutch Pro Boost for flower, with an occasional dose of cal/mag and sea minerals.

I should also add that it is ok to mix up your Canna nutes in advance. I think most Canna feeds are stable for 7 days. I usually mix up about 2-3 days food in advance.

cannanutes are good to go!!!

I've been using the Canna line for most of the last year and I've no complaints. Canna is the only brand I've used though so I have no comparison to say its better or worse than the others. I use only their Rhizotonic (only for my clones), Cannavega (for in veg) and Cannaflores and PK13/14 for during flower. I add molasses instead of their overpriced bloom boosters.
I've found that the feeding schedule is different for other parts of the world which is a little annoying but I just checked my bottles (and the schedule) and in the Netherlands at least it says nothing about needing to let the mixed water stand for a couple of hours. I have never done that myself, always mix and water pretty much straight away. So I would say its a case of reading the bottle you get with regards to that.
All in all I'm happy with Canna and have never felt the need to change. It suites both me and the girls, and so long as the girls are happy, so am I :)

lol all fertilizers are overpriced..... if you dont like paying what you would for advanced then they are very cheap compared to advances full line

There are ways to get around high prices. I went to a cannabis show around 2 years ago. I still havn't used up all the free nutes the various companies were giving away (Canna/Dutch Pro/VitaLink/Bloom/Plagron/Advanced nutrients). The only nutes I have had to buy are my veg nutes. Everything else I have used was free (even the 2 bottles of Cannaboost which is ridiculously expensive).

:)

Way to go PhatJay :thumbsup: you've got the right idea!
