In October 2020, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) brought into force their updated Fertilizer Act and Regulations. These changes have been almost 10 years in the making and introduce several updates to various topics, including: Registration exemptions Labeling requirements This renewal also provides a three-year transitional period that allows companies to comply with either […]
Plants with the capability of accumulating heavy metals above concentrations that would typically cause harm or toxicity in plants are known as hyperaccumulators. Cannabis is a well-known hyperaccumulator with the ability to remove heavy metals contaminants from soils. This characteristic is desirable for soil remediation but troublesome when cannabis is grown for consumption. If […]
In our previous post discussing the difference between bicarbonates and pH, we noted the need for neutralizing high bicarbonate levels in irrigation water. If high levels are not addressed, they can react with calcium and magnesium to form bicarbonate salts, further increasing media pH and removing vital nutrients from solution. Ideally, we want to see […]
When we talk about irrigation cleaning, we’re talking about more than simply running a disinfectant through your system. When using high performance plant nutrition, it’s important that we’re actually removing sources of disease, microorganism buildup and physical barriers to ensure these nutrients are able to perform at their best. When you allow clogs to build […]
In our post Plant-Prod MJ and the A-B System we discussed product incompatibilities and the need for a 2 tank system. In this post, we will describe how you have flexibility in the way you feed these two tanks with Plant-Prod MJ. In our cannabis production guide, you will notice that there are 2 formulations […]
When it comes to irrigation water and water quality, you’ve probably heard the terms pH, alkalinity and bicarbonates thrown around. In this article, we’ll break down these terms and explain which should be the focus when treating your irrigation water. pH (potential Hydrogen) – a logarithmic scale measuring the acidity [hydrogen cation (H+) concentration] and […]
Cal Kick vs. Spike (CaMg) – When to Use Which Source of Calcium If you’re familiar with our Plant-Prod MJ program, then there’s a chance you’re not quite sure just how Spike fits into the lineup. In today’s article we’ll put the record straight. First, let’s talk about the need for calcium within the program. […]

Its guaranteed nutrients are extremely pure, completely soluble and clearly listed on each of the labels. There are no secret additives or “teas” that are common in liquid fertilizers. The Plant-Prod MJ™ Production Program has been developed based […]
Fertilizer Rates & Concentration Values Last post, we outlined the connection between electrical conductivity and the fertilizer concentration in your nutrient solution. Here, we outline the missing link – the relation between parts per million of Nitrogen (ppm N) and actual feeding rates (g/L, oz/gal). In the horticultural industry, rates of fertilizers have traditionally been […]
