Hi.In DWC, I plan to use Canna Aqua Vega A+B until flowering day 21, then do a full reservoir change and switch to Canna Aqua Flores A+B. Is this okay, or should there be a transition, like 50% Vega and 50% Flores?Or can I switch to 100% Flores from day 21?Thx

Hey man, DWC is a blast but can be tricky with the switches!
To be honest, waiting until day 21 of flower to switch to Flores is a bit late. Usually, you want to make the move once you see the first actual "buttons" or puffballs of flowers forming, which is often around week 2.
As for the transition: a full reservoir change is the cleanest way to do it. You don't really need a 50/50 mix. Just do the full swap to 100% Flores. The plant still gets enough nitrogen from the Flores line for the remaining stretch, but it'll definitely appreciate the extra P and K right away to bulk up those buds.
Just keep a close eye on your pH and EC right after the swap, as DWC reacts super fast. Looks like a solid canopy though!
Happy Growing Growmie 🌱

I like the 50/50 approach before switching to 100% flores.

You can add a small amount of pk with the Vega to make it more bloom friendly and then switch like you mentioned if that's the plan

plans and schedules are all finen and good... but the health of the plant in front of you is what matters.
so, follow the schedule, take notes of timing and proportions of products used etc... observe... take more notes, if necessary and adjust the schedule nex ttime, if needed (as well as any on-the-fly adjustments for this particular grow) ... systematically work it out. There are far too many variables to expect every garden to work exactly the same... if you have the same products, same soil, same blah blah blah, sure... it can be very similar.
I feed pretty heavy in vege. By the time i get to third week of flower i need to drop my nutes 30-40% or else i get extra lush, over-fed plants. The schedule is the first step. the next few steps involve you ironing it out.
if the flores a+b still provides 70-80ppm of N, it's probably fine. if it's much lower, i'd delay switching..
depends on level of nutrients which you can calculate and get familiar with, but difficult to memorize the 50,000 products out there. In soilless/hydro, strongly suggest you track ppms of each nutrient. This is far more intuitive and useful information than EC in regard to managing fertilizer. EC is still very important to how roots work, so that still has to be managed. Good feeding usualyl goes hand-in-hand with proper EC and pH, so it should follow suit when you get things worked out.

I would use CANNA Aqua Veg till Stretch ist over, then switch to Flores 100%. I am using it since years and that's the way to go.

depends on NPK that u need
vega more N
early bloom more P then more K
