Cultured Solutions 733852 Fertilizer, 2.5 Gallon, Brown/A

If you follow (or read) my Amazon reviews you can see that I've been running numerous agricultural/botanical science experiments for the last few years. In one of my laboratories I have a Current Culture DWC hydroponic system. Obviously they recommend their own line of nutrients. I've had nothing but problems with their products and the lack of professionalism is reflected with their poor customer support. This is not reflective from a single experience but several negative experiences with Current Culture over 4 years.Let's start with this specific order and experience. I purchased a bottle of Bloom B 1qt and expected to receive a new bottle of Bloom B. A new Current Culture Bloom B is pictured in my first photo. The new bottle doesn't simply have new packaging, it is properly mixed (I'll explain this in a second). I received the old bottle instead.Previously I had ordered multiple jugs, 8 in total (1 gallon each), 4 Bloom A and 4 Bloom B. These were the older bottles that are orange and yellow on the sticker. Upon inspecting the nutrient content in each bottle I found that two of the Bloom B's did not match in color what-so-ever. One was completely clear (like water) and the other was dark amber. I contacted Current Culture and they informed me that there was a bottling issue with their bottler and that some of the nutrients were in deed... not mixed properly, the clear bottles were simply water. They offered me to replace my entire order with a guaranteed set of newly mixed nutrients. They did.I received a new set of 8 bottles of nutes (still with the old labeling with orange/yellow). A few weeks (less than 3) later I noticed a large green and white mold growing inside the new nutrients. I contacted them again and they disclosed (again) the bottler had accidently used an incorrect (paper) separator in the cap which molds when exposed to the nutrients. Keep in mind that had I not called and made a stink, I would have unknowingly fed my plants the most EXPENSIVE WATER in the world. They had not notified anyone of these recurring issues. No website post, no tweet. No due diligence.Current Culture again offered to replace the nutrients but told me that they were now using a new bottler (makes sense) and would ship me nutes once they were ready. They did. 8 bottles again. But NOW it is in a white and blue bottle, the NEW (properly mixed) Bloom A and Bloom B.Naturally by this point my trust in Current Cultures nutrient line was faltering. Not only were they having bottling issues but their prices are much higher than any other nutrient line. So I opened all 8 bottles at once right when I received them.Dumbfounded... The nutrient colors were off again for the Bloom B again. Two clear, two amber. I contacted Current Culture. Now there was a new customer service guy. Of course. I explain the situation. He adamantly denies there was any bottling problem ever at all. He insists I must be making it up to get free nutrients because I guess that is a thing (?) I send him the email conversation about the bad bottler and nutrient mixup. I call him the next day. He gives me the "ooooh THAT little bottling problem" routine. I'm steamed. He then attempts to convince me that the colors now mean nothing and that they are both the same mixture. They offer to do nothing anymore at this point.Frustrated, I contact a friend who is a distributor of Current Culture products. He swaps out my "bad" CC nutes for "matching color" CC nutes. I use the product line for two cycles. Results are ok, could be solely strain related.Time has gone by. Almost a year and half has passed since that experience. I truncate it all down to "they had a bad bottler".I order another (smaller) bottle of Bloom B to compare it to my remaining Bloom B, because yah know...they have a pattern. My bottle arrives....it is the old orange/yellow packaging again, from the old bottler of course. For good measure I decide to compare it to the (now known) correct Bloom B, colors are clear vs amber again. This time it is all through Amazon so I decide to refund it. Out of the years and years I've shopped on Amazon and subsequently had to return items, this is the only item that the seller has reported "has not received item back". It's tracked back naturally but the Amazon system doesn't allow me to contend the status. Basically Current Culture used a shipping loophole tactic to make me eat the cost of the improperly mixed older nutes which are now shipped off to la-la-land somewhere.I'm done. There is no science to their nutrient line. It is simply millennial marketing applied to a hydroponic nutrient line and they can't seem to get their products straight, or the customer support.

Current Culture H2O you guys are brilliant!!Your systems are absolutely the best, your nutes line combined with my 4xl 13 gal just offers the best of the best, ph extremely stable also with tap water @ 350 400 ppm. I am here just to say that I am very very satisfied and wanna thank you very much for your entire line of nutrients and system 4xl13, very very professional.

The bottle arrived contaminated with bacteria, there may be a manufacturing issue as I've had other issues with bacteria using these products. These should be sterile and contain no bacteria contamination.

I love this stuff that works excellent in my deep water culture system

Best nutrients system for DWC. Stable PH through entire cycle. Simple with professional results. Just follow the feeding schedule to a T.

good value

good product
