CANNA Substra Vega - Soft Water A & B
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. What Makes Substra Special? 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. Substra Vega In the beginning of the growth phase, a plant lays the foundation for its eventual yield. Characteristics of a healthy and powerful growth are vital side shoots and luxuriant root development. SUBSTRA Vega is targeted to specifically fulfil a plant's needs optimally during this growth phase. SUBSTRA Vega can be applied to all types of inert mediums such as coco or rockwool. A complete absorption of nutrients and water is guaranteed from the beginning of the cultivation because SUBSTRA Vega is rich in directly absorbable nitrogen compounds and trace elements.
