Canna Nutrients
Over the years we have come to trust and love Canna’s products. Since 1979, Canna has been producing outstanding products for healthier, stronger and bigger plants with precision.
From the Canna website:
Based on 22 year’s experience with growing and intense collaboration with other pioneers, Canna has assembled an enormous reservoir of knowledge that cannot be matched in the green market or even beyond. This rare combination of professional knowledge and enthusiasm has, in the course of seven years, led to a series of very high quality products. No single Canna product is simply placed on the market. Only when we are 100% certain that a product will have an optimum performance do we bring it onto the market. But for us that is still not enough. To be sure that there will be no unpleasant surprises, we also need to be certain why something works. In addition, we first undertake an extended investigation with people in various countries who are in the growing business, in order to list all the possible conditions. Therefore, we shall never introduce a product too quickly to the market. However tempting that may sometimes be in a market where the issues of the day all too often lead to short term hypes.
Canna offers five lines of products; Terra, Aqua, Coco, Substra and Additives.
Terra: “CANNA’s nutrients for cultivating on pre fertilized soil and soiless mediums are called CANNA TERRA. CANNA TERRA can be used for cultivation in both containers & beds, indoor & outdoors. The biggest advantages of growing with soil based systems are its ease of use and the tolerant nature of this medium.”
Aqua: “CANNA Aqua is the nutrient that has been specifically developed for the use in combination closed hydroponic systems, like NFT or Bubbler systems. With these systems the drainage water isn’t removed but is reused.”
Coco: “CANNA Coco was the first nutrient product that was suitable for use when growing on coco and it still hasn’t been equalled after all these years.CANNA Coco gives unrivalled results on CANNA’s coco substrate. This substrate combines the tolerant, organic nature of soil with the precision of rockwool. Due to the special characteristics of the substrate the nutrient doesn’t have a Vega and Flores variant, but there is one unique formulation for both growth and blooming phase. We can’t make things easier!”
Substra: “CANNA Substra is the nutrient for systems in which the drainage water is not returned to the nutrient tank but drains away (Run-to-Waste / Open hydroponic systems): the most popular cultivation method in the Netherlands and CANNA Substra is the nutrient that is most used for this system.”
Additives: “CANNA additives are products meant for use alongside the main nutrient.
They are not complete nutrients themselves but a way to complete your nutrients during the different stages in the growing cycle of your crop. They are used to improve plant health and yield.”
Canna provides nutrients that have helped us grow the best plants we can and we stand by Canna as a consistent and reputable supplier of some of the best nutrients offered on the market today.

Hydro Health
The holidays are quickly upon us and then the end of the year. The holiday season always sneaks up on us and comes with a wrath of emotions and expressions. Then it’s on to New Years resolutions and what we’ll do next year that we should’ve done this year. The same cycle happens every year, but this years a bit different. We’ve hit a down turn in the economy — it’s affected everybody. We’ve also brought the idea of health care and how it should be handled to the forefront. No matter which side of the aisle you sit, it is very obvious that changes need to be made in policy towards health care… or do they?
I was reading today an article in Urban Garden Magazine entitled “Food for Thought” and it brought up some interesting points, but also pointed the health problems in America–obesity, cancer, and so forth right back at us, the consumer. “Nutrition as it is today, does not supply the strength necessary for manifesting the spirit in the physical life. A bridge can no longer be built from thinking to will and action. Food plants can no longer contain the forces people need for this.” (Steiner, The Agriculture Course) Food has become about quantity over quality. “Take, for example, the tomato. If we could only compare a tomato today versus a tomato 100 years ago on a scale of nutrient density, we would see a dramatic difference in the two pieces of fruit; the 100 year old fruit being much more healthy and nutrient dense.” (Urban Garden Magazine) Now there’s no way to test such a statement, but what it brought to my attention was the need to pay more attention to what we are fueling our bodies with.
Science has advanced and has let us grow the most perfect fruits and vegetables year around no matter the climate, but we are still fueling our bodies with junk food. Now it’s nearly impossible for a busy household to grow and maintain enough food for them to live without buying outside resources, but if everyone took a deeper look at how they could fit producing fresh fruit and vegetables into their daily life we may solve health care. I have no hard evidence or scientific studies, well not on hand at least, but as always said, to eat healthy avoid the black hole in the middle of supermarkets–shop the outside. Better yet, why not grow the outside yourself. Hydroponics has allowed for the rapid growth of food year round and with less space. So how does this bring us back to the holidays and the new year? Maybe it’s time to re-evaluate how we get our food and what we fuel our bodies with. I’m not saying cut off from society and start a community farm, but every bit helps and with technology and innovation it’s easier and more available than ever before.
If you haven’t hear of hydroponics, check it out. Google it and read about it. Beyond being more sustainable, the hydroponics practice is often more energy efficient and more environmentally aware. There are a ton of great resources out there. So when you’re thinking about the holidays this year, take a look at hydroponics, it’s something everyone can get behind and can bring communities together.

Hydroponics Nutrients from Humboldt County’s Own now recently added to Hydroponics Unlimited’s inventory! Humboldt County Bush Master, Humboldt County Purple Maxx and Humboldt County Gravity.
Bush Master: BushMaster speed shifts plants into bloom by eliminating the stretch phase of the growth cycle. Advanced growers are using BushMaster as a shape shifter. By applying early in the grow cycle plants can develop tight baseball shaped or popsicle shaped clusters of flowers so more plants can be grown in a smaller area. Contains no carcinogens or toxic chemicals. PLANTS FINISH 7-10 DAYS SOONER!
Purple Maxx (Snow Storm): NO DYES, NO TRICKS, 100% ORGANIC! From Stacker to Trichomax to Purple Maxx Snow Storm, this name has evolved to describe a product so incredible that it couldn’t be developed intentionally but had to be discovered accidentally. Works well in soil or hydro, indoors or out. Channels your favorite nutrients to maximize flower and color development.
Gravity (Flower Hardener): Takes your flowers beyond anything achievable through fertilizer alone. Substantial weight gains are routine. Outrageous gains are not unusual. You can feel the difference. No more slow finishes. Forces flowers toward complete development. Just 1 or 2 treatments in late bloom. Works with all popular nutrients.
