Canna Substra Vega Nutrients

You should use the Soft Water formula if your local water supply has low mineral content, typically indicated by a low EC or PPM reading. If you are unsure, check your local water utility report for calcium and magnesium levels or test your tap water with an EC meter; if the reading is below 0.3, the soft water version is the correct choice.

The A and B formula keeps certain concentrated minerals separate so they do not react and precipitate, or solidify, in the bottle. By keeping them apart until you mix them into your reservoir, the nutrients remain fully stable and bioavailable for your plants to absorb.

This specific formula is optimized for hydroponic and inert substrate systems, such as rockwool or clay pebbles. While it can technically be used in other mediums, it is designed to provide precise nutrient control in systems where the substrate itself does not contribute to the nutrient profile.

Canna Substra Vega is specifically balanced to support rapid root development and strong, healthy foliage growth. It provides the essential nitrogen and micronutrients required to build a robust plant structure before you switch to a flowering-specific nutrient profile.

Yes, you should always check and adjust your pH after mixing your nutrients into the water. While Canna nutrients are designed to be stable, the final pH of your reservoir solution is critical for nutrient uptake and should generally be maintained between 5.5 and 6.2 for hydroponic systems.
