Probably not...but can I use Canna Terra nutrients in a DWC setup?
I know its meant for soil. I was growing in Canna Terra Pro for years, then coco for a couple of years and now I'm a couple of years into hydro. But I also did a cheeky one more Canna Terra Pro grow last year because of reasons. Suffice it to say I'm hydro for good from now on.
Anyways, I've run out of hydro nutrients and I can't really afford more right now. I mean, I can...but its a stretch. I lost my job about 9 months ago due to covid so just getting by these days. I should be good to buy by the time I flower (about 4 weeks) but it would be super helpful if I can just use the Terra nutrients to get by on for now.
If not, why not? Im not doubting...just interested. And not like "well they obviously have different nutes for a reason"...I want those actual reasons.
I did use some leftover coco nutes in there for a while and it worked fine. The Terra nutrients are also liquid nutrients so if they mix in with the water then surely they're going to be accessible to the plant, no? Perhaps its not optimised, maybe the ph will fluctuate more, it might be more work, I dont know, but some should be availble to the plant, right?
