Canna Cannazym — Multi-Enzyme Root Additive for Cleaner Growing
Best for: Growers reusing media, anyone running hydroponics, or serious cultivators who want to keep their root zone clean and disease-free
Our thoughts
This is proper enzyme work. Cannazym's blend of 12+ enzyme types breaks down dead roots properly — faster than the competition — and turns them into food your plants can actually use. If you're reusing media or running systems, it's essential. One we recommend a lot because it just works.
Canna Cannazym is a multi-enzyme root additive designed to keep your root zone clean and properly recycled. It contains more than 12 different enzyme types, plus vitamins and desert plant extracts, which break down dead root material and convert it into accessible nutrients and carbohydrates. Add it to your reservoir or water on every top-up, and it does the heavy lifting for you — reducing disease risk, speeding up nutrient uptake, and keeping systems running without blockages.
How it compares
Enzyme products sit in a small but essential category. Cannazym is the market leader for sheer breakdown performance.
- 12+ enzyme types outperform single-enzyme competitors in root material decomposition speed
- Proven faster breakdown than Hygrozyme (the main UK alternative) in independent testing
- Desert plant extracts and vitamins boost plant immunity — competitors don't include this
- Phosphorus and potassium for active root development, not just breakdown
- Works across soil, coco, and hydroponics — one product, all systems
The trade-off: Hygrozyme holds organic certification. Cannazym doesn't, though its enzymatic action is proven superior at clearing dead material and reducing pathogen risk.
Usage guidance
Cannazym is simple to use and works year-round, from seedling through to harvest.
Standard application
Add 2.5ml per litre of water (or 9ml per gallon). Use on every watering or every reservoir top-up. That's it.
Reusing growing media
Double the dose for one month when you're recycling substrate. Dead roots from the previous cycle need breaking down before you plant again. This is where Cannazym earns its place — it preps the media properly, saving you money on fresh substrate.
System maintenance
In hydroponics, drip systems, and recirculating setups, Cannazym prevents line blockages by breaking down organic debris before it accumulates. Add to every reservoir top-up.
Mixed solutions
Prepare your water with Cannazym 25ml per 10 litres. Use within 4 days of mixing for full potency — enzyme activity drops after that point. Store the concentrate in a dark, cool place.
Compatibility note
Don't combine Cannazym with products containing hydrogen peroxide — they'll work against each other. Everything else (nutrients, additives, growth supplements) plays nicely with it.

Who this is for
- Growers reusing substrate and wanting to recycle it properly without buying fresh media constantly
- Hydroponic and drip system operators concerned about line blockages or system cleanliness
- Anyone growing in coco who wants to maximise nutrient availability and root development
- Serious cultivators focused on disease prevention and healthy root zones
- Budget-conscious growers who want to stretch their growing media investment
- Soil growers looking to improve nutrient cycling and reduce root rot risk
Particularly suited to operations running multiple crops per year or reusing media — Cannazym pays for itself quickly when you're not buying new substrate cycle after cycle.
Our take
This is the enzyme product that actually does what it promises. Cannazym breaks down dead roots faster than the competition, includes vitamins and extracts that improve plant immunity, and costs less than you'd expect for something this effective. Works across every major growing system without compromise.
If you're serious about keeping your root zone clean, reusing media, or running hydroponics, this is worth picking up. The economics stack up fast — especially if you're recycling substrate. Does exactly what it should, every watering, every cycle.
