So is there a trick to getting the shiny little pieces of salt to dissolve. Stir for 2 hours and still salt crystals. Let it sit over night, same thing

Make sure your water is at room temp . this time of year water sources are colder than usual & it will stunt growth & cause problems . I have a 300 watt fish tank heater in my 32 gallon storage drum & its helped alot .

If it was salts I mix with freakin hot water. I'll put the jug in a hot bath also. With dyna grow it was always an issue.

cns17 has a thickener in order to cram more shit in there.. specifically one or two of the bottles.

the previous posts are spot on, you may have to put a lil extra work in to get it to dissolve.

some nute companies mix things super thick in order to accomplish what they want, can ask the europeans using plagron green sensation as their bloom booster, that badboy is pretty much mandatory warm water dissolve treatment even at room temp

HUGE CLUMPS OF WHITE SHIT IN CNS17

HUGE CLUMPS OF WHITE SHIT IN CNS17

I was doing a feeding last night and had just used my cns17 coco grow.I shook the bottle for a good min before using,put the cap back on and set it on the counter.I turned my back for a second and the jug fell onto the floor,the cap broke and half of my grow was poured onto the floor.first instinct was to scoop it up and put it back in,but thought since it wasn't that expensive probally would be a bad idea.any way there we're large clumps of white shit all in it and I really shook the shit out of it.do you think that is ok?

Damn thats interesting. I wonder also. When i poured mine it always made a lot of blips and bloops and blops along with the glugs, but i always assumed it was bubbles from me shaking the fuck out of the bottle right before opening it. Now you have me wondering.

The older it is, the clumpier it seems to be, as if it was falling out of suspension. Buy a new one (from a place that moves the stock frequently) and you will find it silky smooth, the ones where they have sat, will always be clumpy and a pain to get mixed all the way, from what I have seen...

When I was running CNS17 I did have sediments that would fall out of solution over time and coat the bottom of my reservoir. It did not seem to affect my plants negatively.

CNS17 was a good nutrient. I switched to Canna to try it. I think I was happier with CNS17 though. I feel like my yield suffered from the switch, but the quality might have increased slightly.

I liked CNS17 better than Pure Blend Pro.

Got a bottle of the new stuff. There is no longer a hydro or soil formula, just one for veg, bloom, ripe. The bloom has a flower in the corner of the label (older bloom has flowers all over the front label). Anyways, they new mix dissolved without the need for premixing. So maybe it is better? I am still gonna shoot it with a large syringe to be sure.

Only had problems with the bloom formula.
The rest of them always mixed fine, but the bloom was always chunky.
Hopefully they got that shit settled.
