This plant nutrient is part of the CANNA AQUA product line for recirculating hydroponic systems. Aqua Flores is formulated for vegetables and fast growing plants in the flowering phase.
Hydroponics in the flowering phase
A recirculating hydroponic system requires a particularly carefully formulated plant nutrient. The plant is in direct contact with the feed water and the nutrients it contains. Aqua Flores provides you with the ideal nutrient mix for the flowering phase. This formula is the result of careful research and years of experience. Aqua Flores contains directly absorbable nitrogen compounds, high-quality EDDHA iron chelates and trace elements. For the growth phase use Aqua Vega.
Self-regulating pH value
During cultivation, the composition of the nutrient water changes. As a result, the pH value also fluctuates. CANNA AQUA plant food has the unique property of keeping the pH value within the optimal range of 5.2 and 6.2. With other plant nutrients for recirculating systems, you need to adjust the pH during cultivation. With CANNA Aqua this is not necessary and that makes this complex growing method a little easier.
Growing with Aqua Flores
CANNA Aqua Flores plant food is available in almost all garden shops in the Netherlands. Find your nearest retailer. If you want to grow with a water circulation system, be sure to check out our AQUA Infopaper. Use our nutrient calculator to set up a feeding plan.
Usage
- Shake bottle well before use
- Prepare a ready-to-use CANNA Aqua Flores nutrient solution by diluting the A&B concentrates in equal parts with tap water.
- Fill the nutrient tank with tap water.
- Add CANNA Aqua Flores A and CANNA Aqua Flores B, maximum 30 ml A and 30 ml B per 10 litres of tap water (1:333).
- Stir well and let the nutrient solution stand for a few hours
- Recommended pH value: 5.2-5.8 and EC value: 1.3 - 2.1 mS/cm2; use throughout the flowering period.
- Due to the special composition of the CANNA Aqua nutrient, the pH value does not need to be adjusted once it has reached the correct value (5.2-6.2).
- Change the nutrient regularly, at least once every 1 to 2 weeks.
- Change from CANNA Aqua Vega A&B Nutrient to CANNA Aqua Flores A&B Nutrient when flowering starts or when the pH of the circulating water starts to drop below 5.0-5.2. This drop in pH is due to the fact that the plant needs flowering elements.
Other indications
- NPK value 3-4-9
- For the growing phase of the plant CANNA has developed another fertiliser, Aqua Vega. Store frost-free, sealed and in the dark (UV light decomposes the chelates contained in the nutrient). Keep out of reach of children.
