The bottle says 10ml per gallon, I will try it with one veg plant. In previous experience hydro nutrients and young dirt plants is a bad mix. If you have poor aeration or over water as well, toast. So in spirit of that I think I will use a weak 2ml per gallon solution in a couple weeks on one plant.

10ml is for seedling in veg it suggest 20ml per gallon

i got a few samples of the stuff, i read one guy say it was like overdrive, but im not sure. im really interested in finding out. as far as i know the CNS17 is Botanicare's industrial use nutes. it's also extremely cheap @ 5 gallons for $80-90.

ive experienced my fair share of fail from using more than 1/4 strength. i do 1/4 strength (of any nutes i add) and feed with every water. or 1/2 and add plain water the next day or two.

NPK is the same...bought a litre of overdrive and got a free litre of ripe...I thought it was ready for the garbage too.

I use botanicare grow, bloom, and karma. Was a chore to get them to full strength but I did run full strength throughout flower. 25mL per gallon at peak. I personally had the most trouble with the karma at 1/4 strenghth during veg.

hahaha it was only one mushroom but no.. I think its a combo of things.. my soil dries very slow, bad window seals, mold spores in the room and possibley Earth Juices "grow" which is made from shit..:wall:

well ive only had one harvest grow mushrooms, and i never did anything that much differently other than using a cheaper soil. so idk, maybe your mushrooms are different.

so i used the cns17 bloom begining week 3 of flower, that was my recommendation from my local hydro store buddy and its takin great:) i use botanicares Organic Pure blend bloom (used their org. grow during vegg as well) and everything is doin awesome. im runnin soil which i definately recommended ONLY using CNS17 in SOIL cus its waaay to thick and creamy to run in hydro. anyways budd at the hydroshop said these will help my buds really get to that fullness that i want. has a great ratio of NPK n runs awesome with other botanicare products. more updates soon!

Shit maybe I better cut out the Karma to see if that's the problem. I am about to switch to 12/12 and I will use CNS17 Bloom and Aquashield, maybe a tad of Cal Mag but I will skip the Karma.

If you're having issues, it's not the Karma that's giving you problems.

Yeah I am having problems, they don't have any def but they aren't growing like they did with Dutch Masters Advance. The clones which I put on just a little Dutch Masters Advance have already rooted and are catching up with the veg plants.. lol it is kind of funny and mostly not

BALLZ I just bought CNS17 flower and ripe for my flood table set up. wasnt diggin the GH Floronova. I hope my pump can handle this stuff. the ratio for the Flower nute blew my mind. 30ml per 4l is crazy. I mean its cheap and all, but it really isnt if your using it up 3 times faster. I'm gonna try 1/2 strength and see what happens

i was almost talked into the cns17 by a sales person at a hydro store. im interested but instead went with the pure blend pro instead because a customer in the shop i frequent all the time swore by it. also think i want to try the karma & the hydroplex which is the bloom booster

I use all pureblend in the dirt and have for 9 years. It's good stuff! Don't forget their calmag and sweet products, I use those and the karma and hydroplex.

Hey all. Realize this thread is a bit old, but I read older posts as I'm sure others do, and I just had to chime in and let people know that CNS17 grow hydro and yes, it is white and creamy, like melted ice cream, but it mixes JUST FINE in water, GROWS GREAT, is economical (that's probably why they have a prob-AN has people believing you have to spend a fortune to get good results!), and it's from Botanicare, which speaks volumes in reputation. So, if white turns you off or you just hate having extra $$, then go on and buy the expensive stuff. Myself, I'm spending my extra cash on upgrades!

I use CNS17 grow in veg still today and now I mix my own nutrients lol It is partially because I have so much left and CNS17 grow just never gives me any problems.. To be fair CNS17 Ripe is also a nice product imo I was completely wrong about it.. I do predissolve mine into a gallon of RO water first I can shake it up this way.. Let it sit for about an hour and shake the hell out of it again we call the mix jug.. Later add some water to your reservoir, then pour in that mix jug with the 100ml or whatever you used of CNS17 in it and stir. Then add the rest of you crap stirring all the while, then fill your reservoir to the full mark. Watch out CNS17 will burn you up go easy.. You can always watch for paling anyway then add more but burning is a setback for damn sure.

P.S. As I said I mix my own now and I add a bunch of missing stuff to CNS17 Grow, Ripe would be the same. I have a lot of CNS17 Grow then I will of course just mix that too.
