CANNA Start Seedling and Cutting Nutrient

🌱 CANNA Start Seedling and Cutting Nutrient — Guide and Product Information

CANNA Start is a specialist one-part nutrient created for the earliest stage of plant development. It is formulated for seedlings and rooted cuttings, providing a balanced ratio of micro and macro elements without the need for separate A and B bottles. This makes it a practical choice for growers who want simple, reliable feeding during propagation.

Designed for use with a wide range of propagation media, CANNA Start is suitable for rock-wool plugs, coco pellets, jiffy plugs, seed mixes and most similar substrates. It is not intended for re-circulating systems or clone machines.

🌿 Why Choose CANNA Start?

Young plants have different nutritional requirements from established plants. Standard vegetative feeds can be too strong for seedlings and cuttings, while heavily diluted grow nutrients may fail to deliver the correct balance of essential elements. CANNA Start is developed specifically for this stage, helping growers feed young plants more appropriately from the beginning.

• ✔ One-part formula for straightforward mixing and use
• ✔ Tailored nutrition for seedlings and rooted cuttings
• ✔ Helps avoid the common issue of overfeeding young plants
• ✔ Supports healthy early development before transplanting

📦 Available Options and Sizes

This product is available in a choice of sizes to suit different growing routines and propagation volumes:

• ✔ 500ml
• ✔ 1L
• ✔ 5L

The smaller bottles are ideal for hobby propagation and occasional use, while larger sizes can be more convenient for growers raising plants more regularly.

🪴 Suitable Applications

CANNA Start is well suited to growers who start plants from seed, take their own cuttings, or raise young plants in plugs and small pots before moving them into the final growing medium. Once plants are established and transplanted, feeding can be continued with a suitable CANNA Vega nutrient for the chosen medium.

🔄 Using CANNA Start Within a Feeding Programme

CANNA Start is designed to link neatly with the wider CANNA nutrient range. After propagation, growers typically move on to the appropriate vegetative nutrient for their chosen substrate. It is also often paired with root support products during the early stage to encourage strong root development.

🛠️ Setup and Usage Tips

Use CANNA Start during the early growth stage only, when plants are still seedlings or rooted cuttings. Apply it to suitable propagation media and follow the feed directions shown on the product label. Avoid using it in re-circulating systems or clone machines. Once plants are transplanted into their final substrate and become more established, move on to the appropriate main vegetative nutrient for that medium.
