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.
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.
Directions
A ready to use fertilizer solution is made by diluting A & B concentrates in equal amounts with tap water.
- Shake Substra Vega A and Substra Vega B well before use
- Dosage: 40 ml / 10 Liter - 15 ml / US gallon (1:250)
- Recommended pH: 5.2 - 6.2
- Recommended EC for Substra Vega A + B is 0.8 - 1.5 mS/cm (Part A plus Part B and assuming source water at 0.0 EC)
- Water gift: 3 - 5 liter / m2 / day
Other directions
- Never mix the A-concentrate directly with the B-concentrate, as insoluble combinations will occur
- Keep out of reach of children
- Store in a dark place
- Keep away from extremes of hot and cold
- Over fertilization has a negative effect on the nutrient mix and plant quality
- 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
- If the solution comes in contact with the skin or eyes, rinse with water
