Canna Nutrients Product Documents

CANNA Start is a balanced one-part nutrient for seedlings and (rooted) cuttings. CANNA Start 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.

With the addition of CANNA Start to the CANNA range, we offer a complete program for growing from Start to crop! With CANNA Start you can use CANNA all the way.


Adavantages of Canna Start

  • 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.

Canna Start is perfect for growers who:

  • Grow from seeds
  • Take their own cuttings
  • Put the seedlings or cuttings in small pots first, before transplanting them into the final medium

Directions for use

CANNA Start is a specially formulated one-part nutrient for seedlings and rooted) cuttings. For use on peat based seed mixes, rockwool, and peat plugs.

  • Shake bottle well before use
  • Fill nutrient reservoir with water
  • Dosage: 0.5 fl oz/gal (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%)
  • Store in a dark place, away from extremes of hot and cold
  • Over fertilization has a negative effect on the nutrient mix and plant quality
  • Not to be used in protected nature reserves, reed beds or swampy areas, in hedges or small woods, in bodies of surface waters or near groundwater collecting areas

What is Canna Start designed to do for seedlings and cuttings?

Canna Start is a balanced one-part nutrient formulated specifically to deliver all the micro and macro elements that seedlings and rooted cuttings need for a healthy start. Unlike a standard vegetative nutrient, Canna Start provides the exact ratio of elements suited to young plant material, reducing the risk of overfeeding and preventing yellowing that can occur when a full-strength vegetative formula is simply diluted.

Which growing media and substrates work with Canna Start?

Canna Start can be used on coco pellets, jiffy plugs, peat-based seed mixes, rockwool, and most other propagation media. Canna Start is not suitable for re-circulating systems or clone machines, so growers using those setups should choose a different product.

What is the recommended dosage and pH range when mixing Canna Start?

The maximum dosage for Canna Start is 0.5 fl oz per gallon, or 40 ml per 10 liters of water. The recommended pH range for the solution is 5.2 to 6.2, and the EC of Canna Start dissolved in tap water falls between 0.7 and 1.3 mS, which includes the water EC.

What is the N-P-K of Canna Start, and is Canna Start an organic nutrient?

Canna Start has an N-P-K ratio of 1-1-2, providing a gentle, balanced feed appropriate for young plant material. Canna Start is an inorganic-based liquid nutrient and is not OMRI certified.

How does Canna Start fit into the broader Canna nutrient program?

Canna Start bridges the propagation stage with the rest of the Canna lineup. Once cuttings or seedlings are transplanted from plugs into a final medium, growers switch from Canna Start to the appropriate Canna vegetative nutrient for that medium, such as Canna Terra, Coco, Substra, or Aqua. Canna Start is also noted to work especially well alongside Canna Rhizotonic to encourage strong, thick root development.

Why should growers use Canna Start instead of diluting a regular vegetative nutrient for seedlings?

Simply diluting a vegetative nutrient for seedlings or cuttings does not provide the correct balance of micro and macro elements, which can cause yellowing of plant material and a weak start to the crop. Canna Start is purpose-formulated so that young plants receive the precise nutrient ratios they need without the overfeeding risk that comes with using a standard vegetative formula at any concentration.
