Like all propagation nutrients, Canna Start delivers a well-balanced macro and micronutrient profile for juvenile plants. Many growers use a weak 'grow' feed for this period but that approach delivers much lower levels of trace elements (micronutrients) than are optimal for juvenile plants. Also, the 'grow' blends' NPK ratios are more weighted towards N (nitrogen) instead of P and K (phosphorus and potassium) which are crucial for root development. How to use Canna Start: Canna Start should be combined with Canna Rhizotonic or your root stimulant of choice. Once your root stim is thoroughly mixed: add Canna Start at 2-4ml per litre (or until the EC is between 1.0 and 1.2mS). Then set the pH to between 5.3 and 6.3 depending on the growing medium. Is Canna Start worth using? Considering the low cost we think using a propagation nutrient early on in your plant's life is a great investment, other compatible products include Intense Kickstart, Vitalink Plantstart and the original propagation nutrient, Formulex.
