FAQs
When is the best time to use Canna Flush?
The most effective time is during the final one to two weeks before harvest to ensure a clean and flavorful crop. It can also be used periodically to manage salt buildup in substrates or when switching nutrient lines.
Can Canna Flush be used with hydroponic systems?
Yes, Canna Flush is suitable for open hydroponic systems. It should be administered as the last feed of the day until 10-20% runoff is observed.
Does Canna Flush kill beneficial bacteria and fungi?
No, Canna Flush is specifically designed to clean substrates without harming beneficial bacteria or fungi. This is a key advantage over using pure reverse osmosis or de-mineralized water alone for flushing.
What is the recommended dilution for soil growing?
For soil or soil-less mixes, the recommended dilution is 20 ml of Canna Flush per 10 litres of water (a 1:500 ratio).
How do I use Canna Flush to clean inert substrates for reuse?
For inert substrates, dilute 40 ml of Canna Flush per 10 litres of tap water. Soak the substrate for 24 hours, then rinse with the same amount of tap water. Repeat if necessary.
What should I do after flushing with Canna Flush?
After applying Canna Flush and achieving the recommended runoff, water the plants once with plain tap water until you have runoff. Then, resume your normal feeding schedule.
Is Canna Flush environmentally friendly?
Yes, Canna Flush is fully biodegradable and comes in recyclable packaging.
Troubleshooting
Product appears cloudy or separated
Shake the bottle vigorously before use, as separation can occur. Ensure it is stored in a dark and frost-proof place.
Plants show signs of nutrient deficiency after flushing
This indicates excessive flushing or too long a period without feeding. Ensure you resume your normal feeding schedule promptly after the flush and plain water rinse. Check dilution rates to ensure they are correct.
No significant runoff achieved during flushing
This may be due to the substrate's water retention capacity or inconsistent watering. Ensure you are watering enough to achieve the recommended runoff percentage for your system type.
