CANNA Substra Flores - Hard Water
What Makes Substra Special? CANNA Substra is the nutrient for water based systems where drainage water is not returned to a nutrient tank but instead drains away (DTW drain to waste /Run-to-Waste / Open hydroponic systems): These are themost popular cultivation methods in the Netherlands and CANNA Substra is the nutrient that is most used for these types of systems. CANNA Substra has a balanced blend of all nutritional elements needed by plants. Because substrates used in run-to-waste systems are mostly inert (They don't add or take nutrient elements from the nutrient solution) all the nutrients must provided in the nutrient solution. Excess nutritional elements/minerals can lead to plant damage but they will also end up in the environment. To prevent this from happening the nutrient should be specifically designed for such a system and preferably for your type of tap water. That's why CANNA developed a Hard and Soft water version of the Substra nutrient line. This ensures the exact amount of nutrients get delivered to a plants root system and as little as possible nutrients will end up in the drain water; healthy for the consumer and great for the environment. CANNA Substra Flores Direct availability and a correct composition of nutrients play a crucial role during the plant's blooming phase. CANNA SUBSTRA Flores stimulates the fructification and contains all the nutrients that the plant needs during this phase. During the blooming phase considerable less nitrogen is needed for example, but an increased need for potassium and phosphorous occurs. In addition, SUBSTRA Flores' unique formula is rich in trace elements in a directly absorbable form. This results in an exuberant bloom.
