Change from CANNA Terra Vega to CANNA Terra Flores when the flowers begin to develop. Normally speaking this will be after the plants have been lit for 12 hours per day, for between 1 and 3 weeks.

When cultivating in plant trays with a sealable drainage system, it is easier to begin by making the drainage incisions, then turning over the COGr and filling the plant container with the buffering solution.

Never dilute more CANNAZYM than will be used within 10 days.

If you are using CANNA RHIZOTONIC always add this to the feed water before you adjust the pH; CANNA RHIZOTONIC is a natural pH UP product.

Foliar feeding with RHIZOTONIC is most efficient when this is carried out around the time that the lights go out when cultivating inside, or just before sunset when cultivating outside.

Prevent the accumulation of phosphate and potassium by using PK 13/14 no more than one week.

When you dilute an acidic product, always add the acid to the water, never add water to the acid, if it splashes it will cause burns on your skin or in your eyes!

The products designed to adjust the pH are concentrated products. It is sometimes difficult to adjust the pH correctly in one go. To make life easier for yourself, dilute one part pH adjuster with ten parts water and use this to adjust the pH in your nutrient tank.

Measuring the nutrient reservoir works as follows: Take EC/ppm as the starting point, measure it and determine whether it should be higher or lower, based on the values shown in the instructions. Only then should you adjust the pH if necessary. Try to get the nutrient solution’s pH value correct at the first attempt.

CANNAZYM extends the life-span of Clay Pebbles and other growing mediums because it breaks down dead roots.

Clay pebbles can have a high salt content. By rinsing the pebbles with water, these harmful salts can be washed away. An additional advantage of this is that dust particles are also rinsed off and these may have caused blockages.

It's not necessary to water with CANNA Coco in advance of planting. It is recommen­ded to drip the coco with nutrient solution (2 ml CANNA Coco A & 2 ml Coco B /litre; pH 5.2-6.2) until drain appears. The coco now contains enough nutrients and water for a couple of days. Furthermore, the right temperature (20 - 25 °C / 68 – 77 °F) and high air humidity guarantee an optimal start.

CANNAZYM can be given continually. This is most easily achieved by mixing it with the feeding in the proportion of 2.5 ml/litre; 1:400, or it can be given once a week in the proportion of 10 ml/litre; 1:100. It is also possible to add the CANNAZYM to the nutrient tank when it is just 25% full at 10 ml/litre; 1:100. CANNAZYM also makes the potting medium more suitable for reuse.

Not only the plants, but also micro-organisms really prosper in a diluted solution of Bio Flores and Bio Vega. It is advisable to use the prepared solution within two days.

It is important to shake bio-products well before use. Apply diluted nutritional solution 1 to 3 times a week.

It is advisable not to use automatic drip systems, when using Bio Vega and Bio Flores, because micro flora can develop in these systems which can cause blockages. However, if you do decide to use a dripper system then it is advised to; 1. use hoses and drippers with a broad diameter; 2. rinse the drippers with water after each feeding session.

BioBOOST can be administered manually and trouble-free via automatic drip irrigation and/ or via spraying the leaves. For spraying the leaves, use 2 ml BioBOOST per litre of water.

Due to the presence of pH buffering fruit acids in Bio Vega and Bio Flores, the nutritional solution does not need to be acidified. Because the fruit acids serve as natural chelates, the nutrients can be absorbed across a wider pH course (up to pH 7).

BioBOOST is not a nutrient but a metabolism stimulator and for that reason supports the working of other CANNA products, such as CANNA PK 13/14.

Measuring the EC value of an organic nutrient, like you would do using a mineral fertilizer, is useless. Organic nutrients are not made of mineral salts but organically bound elements. An accurate EC value is therefore impossible to measure. Use organic fertilizers as described on the product label.

The CANNA products are processed and manufactured in the Netherlands at our state of the art facilities. Over here we are 100% sure to be able to secure the highest standards for manufacturing our products. The factories are designed for optimized processes and low waste material. The facility is certified EKO for processing organic input.

A common misconception is, that the date on the CANNA products are shelf life or only best before date. Although the date does represent a best before indicator, the product can still work as per its intended use. During manufacturing a date is added to add another level of transparency to the customer. All products age and can loose potency over time. The date is simply to guarantee the working properties are at its full strength during this period. After that date, depending on the severity of the conditions such as climate and what else that the product has been exposed to, we can only speculate the potency. CANNA is therefor of the mindset, that it has no control over the conditions after the time it left the facility and that date. However with CANNA, you always know the information you need regarding freshness of your products, so this is merely to provide extra information, and to determine if most extreme conditions could be effecting your success rate in using CANNA products after such date.

CANNA products are available through local retailers, as can be found in our store locator.

You can send in your request through our contact form. CANNA works with a local distributor in South Africa for supply of our products.

CANNA does not take shortcuts and is registering its products according to legal requirements in South Africa. We work with DAFF on the registration and hope to be able to import products soon. Keep an eye on the website and social media for new.
