I use CNS17 grow, bloom and ripe in hydro right now. Don't like it, doesn't play well with water and I keep having to stir it. Thinking of using it with my dirt plants instead, anyone kill dirt plants with it yet?

that's awesome how much do you mix per gallon? I used Dutch Masters Advance Hydro with dirt last time, 1 table spoon per gallon every other watering, then every watering in late flower. I was thinking the same with the CNS17 about 5ml per gallon every other watering. Then 10 when they get bigger. Am I too light here? 10ml would be just over 2 table spoons in full flower.. I did yank fat colas off my dirt plants last harvest, just wouldn't mind hearing the right way.

honestly i dont follow any instructions. I do it like im baking a pie that i know the recipe to ;) its dependent on what i think my plants needs are... usually im pretty light with the stuff too though.. id say no more than a tablespoon but I usually use even less, but dont forget I also mix in other nutes as well. I really think the plants love it. :mrgreen: like a nute cocktail. for ex. if i see yellowing ill add some earth juice grow and maybe a bit of botanicares grow but I always also add fox farm bigbloom and botanicares liquid karma, and earth juices growth catalyx.. seriously the plants LOVE it.. so many great ingredients for them to thrive off of :mrgreen:

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.

for a few lowryders i used up all my cns17 gr n bl but now use their line of Pureblend pro gr&bl and not near as much needed so it lasts i was mixing both cns and pureblend half and half small amounts with a half dose of liquid karma ,tiny bit of molasses and grotek bloom max. at the end of veg. or start of more budding from lil starters .also have used cannazym and rhizotonic great at full strength both have given me over 50 grams dry in 10 weeks from germ. and they were only 12in high lowryders .i think one of the key is keeping them feed well is very important with those i got lazy changin res. and they got burnt for one day and still are crystal covered LOTs of hairs stuck to all the trics i used autos and they were more of a high bigger and kinda more complete high next to any other dank ive tried ,one was like half hitter quitter n i gotta LIL tolerance as im sure most here.but anyway in small doses the both work awsome together is best and still good either way .been in agricultur all my life and this was my third grow in for months harvest nicely apart.need to do more this time tho now that i trust myself .i use readyGro with added perlite n and ebb n flo.

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.

I am a fan of Botanicare stuff in soil. I have used CNS17 Grow, Bloom and Ripe as well as Botanicare's Fulvex, Calplex, Nitrex and Seaplex. Never had any problems with burning the plants. I always just follow the feeding schedule and I have never had issues :) Anyway good luck I wish ya luck! Peace RIU!
