Canna Peat Mix A&B

Description

CANNA PEAT MIX A&B

Canna Peat Mix is a two component fertilizer (A&B), developed for use with common, general usage non-fertilized peat based mixes. This fertilizer is a complete base nutrient and highly concentrated, with a recommend dosage of 1-2 ml/Litre, which means that these bottles go for a long way!

WHY A SPECIFIC PEAT MIX FERTILIZER?

The difference in structure, water retention and longer term pH control of European Peat mixes (including Canna Terra Professional Plus), as compared to Canadian peat mixes , makes it different to correctly water and fertilize the plants.

Canna TERRA nutrients are not suitable for growing on Canadian Peat Mixes because they are designed for higher quality, better pH control and pre-fertilized potting soils.

The Canna SUBSTRA line works well with the Canadian Peat Mixes, but is originally designed to be used on completely inert substrates. Substra is also designed to meet specific water quality (hard or soft water) as plants react stronger to the differences in inert systems.

Canna Peat Mix A&B is specifically designed to meet the character of Canadian Peat mixes. Like the mixes itself, it is easy to use.

ADVANTAGES OF CANNA PEAT MIX A&B

• One nutrient for both the vegetative phase and blooming phase
  Compatible to all Canadian Peat Moss Mixes
• Dissolves directly
• Highly concentrated
• Recommended use of 0.5 to a maximum 2ml/Liter

Canna Peat Mix Fertilizer is a “single stage” high quality formula, which means that it is designed to be used throughout the vegetative and flowering phase which makes it very easy to use for all peat-mix growers. Obviously all Canna additives are compatible with the fertilizer.

The highly concentrated compounds of A&B conflict with each other when mixed together resulting in an unusable solution. The compounds must be added to the nutrient water separately to avoid this reaction.

HOW TO USE:

• A ready to use fertilizer solution is made by diluting A & B concentrates in equal amounts with tap water.
• Shake Peat Mix A and Peat Mix B well before use
• Fill the nutrition tank with water.
• Dosage: 20 ml/10 L Peat Mix A and 20ml/10 L Peat Mix B (also check Grow Guide on CANNA website).
• Stir well and let mixture stand for some hours.
• Recommended pH 5.8-6.2
• Recommended EC for Peat Mix A+B is 0.8 – 1.8 mS/cm (Part A plus Part B and assuming source water at 0.0 EC).
• Avoid the use of tap water with higher salt concentrations. A value above 500 ppm (1,0 mS/cm) is not recommended.
• Water gift: 3 – 6 litres / m2 / day (for full-grown plants).

OTHER DIRECTIONS:

• Never mix the A-concentrate directly with the B-concentrate, as insoluble combinations will occur.
• Store in a dark place, away from extremes of hot and cold.
• Over fertilization has a negative effect on the substrate, the plant and nature in general.
• Not to be used in protected nature reserves, reed beds or swampy areas, in hedges or small woods, in bodies of surface waters or near groundwater collecting areas.
