I am using Canna nutes in my 1st hydro grow - I could use some help.

The directions insist that you mix A and B in your reservoir - THEN wait for several hours - WhY? The EC doesn't change after 4 hours and neither does the PH.

PH! My water starts at 6.5 ph but as soon as I mix in the nutes as directed the PH drops to 4.0. So I always have to use PH-UP - I read on the Canna website that their nutes are ph-balanced. What does that really mean?

Also - my ph gradually drops a little in the res - is this normal?

Canna says not to use Hydrogen Peroxide - so I wonder - Are there other brands that you shouldn't use with Aqua Flores? I am thinking of the competitions' Bloom nutes.

One last dumb question - directions say to shake well for both A & B but I cannot see that the B needs to be mixed at all!

Thanks.

when mixing canna aqua a and b you wait 2 days until you check your ph balance and then you adjust. Putting to much ph up and ph down can ruin your mix. So wait that's how I learned I had problems with canna also but when you get it right you will be very happy
