Pure elements to stimulate flowering

PK 13/14 is a high grade mixture of phosphorus and potassium that is added during the flowering phase. Both elements play a big role during the flowering phase of fast growing plants. Thanks to a special production process CANNA has succeeded in combining pure phosphorous and potassium in very high concentrations and this makes PK 13/14 available to the plant quickly and directly.

Phosphorous (P) is a major nutritional element for every plant. It plays a key role in metabolism and energy transfer. Extra phosphorous is needed in the flowering phase. Phosphorous strengthens cell formation in flowers among other things.

Potassium (K) is found throughout the plant and is necessary for a lot of its activities. It is essential for transporting water and nutrition (sieve vessels) and it is responsible for the plant’s quality and rigidity. In addition to this it controls countless other processes such as sugar production. Potassium ensures that the plant can produce enough sugars during flowering, which are essential for the development of the flowers.

Lavish flowering

There comes a moment during the plant’s development when the need for phosphorous and potassium increases greatly. If CANNA PK 13/14 is given at this moment you will satisfy the flowering plant’s increased needs and the fruits will achieve maximum development. CANNA BOOST enhances the metabolism and has a strengthening effect on PK 13/14. This perfect combination will cause the plant to flower more lavishly.

Suitable for every medium

PK 13/14 is used with every medium and consequently it is used for cultivation on soil, in recirculatory systems, when cultivating on coco and in run-to-waste systems. PK 13/14 is suitable for use when cultivating both indoors and outdoors. When Canna began sales in North America, PK 13/14 used the standard European way of expressing percentages of the nutrients in fertilizer as volume/ volume (milliliters/ liter).

It was after arriving on the shelf in NA that we had to change to the North American convention of using Mass/ mass (milligrams/ kilograms). So, to satisfy the regulatory powers, we are required to state the mass percentages of the contents of PK thus the additional numbers 0 – 10 – 11. Same fine product, just a different way of stating the percentages of the nutrients as 0 – 10 – 11 in mass percentages is exactly the same as 0 – 13 – 14 in volume percentages.
