CANNA AQUA
CANNA AQUA is a user-friendly range of products for mind-blowing yield on recirculating systems like being used in vertical gardens. With these systems the drainage water doesn't flow away but is reused. One of the big advantages of growing on a recirculating system is that it uses less nutrients and water than most other systems. Also, the plants are in direct contact with the nutrient solution.
Clean and user friendly fertilizer input is a necessity when growing in these systems. CANNA Aqua fits perfectly.

- Precise nutrient control means healthy plants, great yield and a more cost-efficient system
- User friendly, no need to adjust the pH
- Clean input, not causing blockages or bad bacteria to grow in your system
CANNA Aqua fertilizers are perfect for vertical farming, hydroponic gardening, nutrient film technique and indoor gardening.
Product line FAQ
I'm using a re-circulating system. Should I use SUBSTRA or AQUA?
CANNA specially developed CANNA AQUA for recirculating systems. CANNA SUBSTRA should be used when using a run-to-waste system. Please do not mix those two up!
Do not put all your money on one horse
Two pumps can be used to supply the nutrient solution to the plants to ensure that they will not be left dry if one of the two should malfunction.
Air and pH
If there are any air pumps in the nutrient reservoir, remember that these may raise the pH in the nutrient reservoir.
Root growth
Watch the roots closely. Otherwise they will grow into the drainage holes. This will block the drains and the system will stop circulating.
Keep your nutrients dark
Light breaks down iron chelates! Because of this, it is very important to ensure that no Ultra Violet light falls on the nutrient solution. Light also causes algae to grow in the nutrient solution, which can lead to blockages. Furthermore, algae can take up nutrient elements and cause nutrient deficiencies to occur.
Amounts of nutrients
Keep a record of the amounts of nutrients and additives you add to each tank of nutrients you mix. You then have a good starting point for the next time!
Nutrient tank
Take your time diluting and adjusting your nutrient tank! This is essential for the growth, flowering and development of the plants and will yield the best results.
Adding acid to water
When you dilute an acidic product, always add the acid to the water, never add water to the acid, if it splashes it will cause burns on your skin or in your eyes!
Mixing nutrients
Measuring the nutrient reservoir works as follows: Take EC/ppm as the starting point, measure it and determine whether it should be higher or lower, based on the values shown in the instructions. Only then should you adjust the pH if necessary. Try to get the nutrient solution’s pH value correct at the first attempt.
CANNAZYM and Clay Pebbles
CANNAZYM extends the life-span of Clay Pebbles and other growing mediums because it breaks down dead roots.
Rinse the clay pebbles
Clay pebbles can have a high salt content. By rinsing the pebbles with water, these harmful salts can be washed away. An additional advantage of this is that dust particles are also rinsed off and these may have caused blockages.
