CANNA AQUA
CANNA AQUA is a user-friendly range of products for recirculating systems, like NFT or ebb and flow on inert mediums such as clay pebbles. With these systems the drainage water doesn't flow away but is reused. CANNA AQUA nutrients are made in such a way that the plants regulate the pH themselves. Keeping the pH in the nutrient reservoir within the optimum pH range is therefore very easy with CANNA AQUA nutrients.
In this way CANNA makes one of the most complex cultivation systems considerably easier for the grower.

Why use CANNA AQUA?
CANNA AQUA is developed for hydroponic growers who really want the best of the best. The CANNA AQUA range of products consists of the CANNA Aqua Vega and Aqua Flores nutrients and the medium CANNA Aqua Clay Pebbles.
CANNA Aqua Vega and Aqua Flores nutrients are unique! Advantages of CANNA AQUA nutrients:
- Precise nutrient control with high yield potential
- User friendly, no need to constantly adjust the pH
Product line FAQ
I'm using a re-circulating system. Should I use SUBSTRA or AQUA?
Both nutrients are developed for inert media such as rockwool, clay pebbles and many others. CANNA specially developed CANNA AQUA to work in recirculating systems with these inert media. CANNA SUBSTRA should be used when using a run-to-waste system in inert media.
Should I use 1 or 2 pumps?
2 pumps can be used to supply the nutrient solution to the plants to ensure that they will not be left dry if 1 of the 2 should malfunction.
Air and pH
If there are air pumps in the nutrient reservoir, remember that these tend to raise the pH in the nutrient reservoir, so they are generally not recommended unless your system truly needs it, like Deep Water Culture cultivation.
Check root growth to prevent blockage
Watch the roots closely. Otherwise they will grow into the drainage holes. This will block the drains and the system will stop circulating.
Keep your nutrients dark
Light breaks down iron chelates! Because of this, it is very important to ensure that no Ultra Violet light reaches the nutrient solution. Light also causes algae to grow in the nutrient solution, which can lead to blockages. Furthermore, algae can take up nutrient elements and cause nutrient deficiencies to occur.
Keep slabs horizontal
Make sure rockwool slabs are horizontal. If they are not truly horizontal the moisture will run to one end of the slab. This could mean that some plants become too dry and others too wet.
Amounts of nutrients
Keep a record of the amounts of nutrients and additives you add to each tank of nutrients you mix. You then have a good starting point for the next time!
Adjusting your nutrient tank
Take your time diluting and adjusting your nutrient tank! This is essential for the growth, flowering and development of the plants and will yield the best results.
Mixing nutrients
Check and adjust the nutrient reservoir as follows: Take a reading of the EC/ppm and pH of the nutrient solution and then determine whether there needs to be adjustments. Use the EC/ppm reading to determine if your concentration needs to be higher or lower, based on the values shown in our grow guide. Use the pH value to determine if an adjustment is needed and if so, try to correct the pH value at the first attempt!
CANNAZYM and grow mediums
CANNAZYM extends the life-span of Clay Pebbles, coco, and other growing mediums because it breaks down dead roots. It can be used to re-use coco medium.
Rinse the clay pebbles
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.
