Im brand new to growing in Coco,switching from soil.I'm looking for the best bud booster that wont decrease the quality of taste and smell.Im using botanicare coco,CNS17 coco grow,CNS17 coco bloom,botanicare coco,drip clean and sweet.And is there any other additives I should use when running coco?Should I use a root stimulator? This will be my 1st run in coco so I need all the help I can get.Thanks!!!!

my advice would be first try a grow with the CNS17 and no boosters. Then you will have an idea of what things should look like and you can always try to improve on the weight after your first run in coco.
 
all those things you listed are all essentially the same thing: carbs. You already have sweet in the mix, you should be good.
As far as the citrus, grape, rasberry cheescake whatever: imo its just snake oil. I could be wrong, but I doubt it.
Also- go easy on the sweet.

I run coco A/B with pk13/14 zym, and rhizo this one you can go great without but it won't be as fast in veg phase.
for bloom i use molasses too, it does makes some difference in taste and seems to have some effect in yield also

The CNS17 works great in coco !!! don't even need calmag if using tap . my only comment would be to skip the sweet & replace it with dynagrows Protekt . it gives you a nice sugar content with a plant resistance factor too , it strengthens stems & make plants bug resistant .

CNS17 & protekt for the win !!!! :)

Use the protekt as a PH up to get your PH @ 5.8 instead of adding the measured amounts they recommend .

Thanks for the info.I was gonna swap out the sweet for black strap mollasses,and try to find a good bud booster.But Im gonna also do some research on the protekt you mentioned.From what Ive read so far ,its a silicon supplement with high potassium also.I havent seen anything yet on its sugar content.Thanks!!!

cns17 and drip clean is all you really need. drip clean is the shit. i wont grow without it. ive chopped in a rush with no flush at all and since i had been running drip clean the whole time i heard nothing but how amazing it tasted lol.

Nope. The only thing on that list, that is a carb, is sweet.

Nope. No "sugar content" is protekt.

I felt that using CNS17 Grow, Bloom and Ripe was sufficient on it's own. I think it can run fine on it's own without any additives.

I remember reading on here somewhere that you could just buy Grow and Ripe and that mixing the two at some ratio would give you something that is close enough to Bloom.

I ran CNS17 shortly but switched to Canna because it looked like a cleaner running nutrient. It does run cleaner, and the quality it puts off is great. CNS17 was pretty good though.
