CANNA Start – Complete One-Part Nutrient for Seedlings & Cuttings
CANNA Start is a complete one-part starter nutrient specially formulated for seedlings, rooted cuttings and young plants during their earliest stages of growth.
Young plants have very different nutritional requirements from established plants. Using a standard vegetative nutrient too early can make it difficult to provide the correct balance without overfeeding. CANNA Start has been developed specifically for this early growth stage, providing the essential macro and micronutrients young plants need in one easy-to-use formula.
It is particularly suited to growers starting plants from seed or cuttings, including plants being established in small pots or propagation media before transplanting into their final growing system.
Why Choose CANNA Start?
- Complete one-part formula – no separate A & B bottles required
- Developed specifically for seedlings and rooted cuttings
- Provides essential macro and micronutrients
- Supports healthy early growth and strong root development
- Helps reduce the risk of overfeeding young plants
- Suitable for a wide range of growing media
- Easy to mix and use
- Integrates seamlessly into the wider CANNA feeding programme
CANNA Start provides young plants with the correct nutritional balance during the important establishment stage, helping them develop into strong plants before moving onto their main vegetative feeding programme.
Suitable for Seedlings, Cuttings & Young Plants
CANNA Start is ideal for growers who:
- Grow plants from seed
- Take and root their own cuttings
- Establish seedlings before transplanting
- Grow young plants in propagation plugs
- Start plants in small pots before moving into larger containers
- Want a dedicated nutrient rather than heavily diluting a standard vegetative feed
It can be used with a variety of growing media and growing systems including:
Coco coir • Rockwool • Potting mixes • Soil-based media • Hydroponic systems

How to Use CANNA Start
Shake the bottle thoroughly before use.
Add:
4 ml CANNA Start per 1 litre of water
Equivalent to:
40 ml per 10 litres of water – dilution ratio 1:250
Add CANNA Start to your water or nutrient reservoir and mix thoroughly before feeding.
Recommended pH
5.2–6.2, depending on the growing medium being used.
CANNA states that the EC of CANNA Start mixed with tap water typically falls within approximately 0.7–1.3 mS/cm, including the EC contribution from the source water.
When Should I Stop Using CANNA Start?
CANNA Start is designed for the early establishment stage.
Once seedlings or cuttings have developed sufficiently and are transplanted into their final growing medium, CANNA recommends moving onto the appropriate CANNA vegetative nutrient for that system.
For example:
- CANNA TERRA for soil-based growing
- CANNA COCO for coco
- CANNA AQUA for recirculating hydroponics
- CANNA HYDRO for run-to-waste hydroponic systems

Designed to Give Young Plants the Right Start
Seedlings and freshly rooted cuttings are particularly sensitive to nutrient strength.
Simply reducing the dosage of a conventional vegetative fertiliser does not necessarily provide the same nutritional balance required by young plants. CANNA Start is formulated specifically for this stage, allowing growers to provide appropriate nutrition without relying on heavily diluted adult-plant feeds.
The result is a straightforward feeding programme from propagation through to established vegetative growth.
Works Particularly Well with CANNA RHIZOTONIC
CANNA recommends combining CANNA Start with CANNA RHIZOTONIC where appropriate during propagation and early plant development.
RHIZOTONIC is designed around root development, while CANNA Start provides the nutritional elements required by young plants.
Available Sizes
1 Litre – ideal for smaller propagation areas, hobby growers and occasional use.
5 Litres – better suited to larger propagation setups and regular growers.
Approximate Diluted Feed Volume
At the standard 4 ml per litre dosage:
| Bottle Size | Makes Approximately |
|---|---|
| 1L | 250 litres of feed solution |
| 5L | 1,250 litres of feed solution |
Storage & Handling
