Lucas Formula

[ICEToker]

when using LF do you include additives in the 800ppm ceiling, ie. floralicious plus, green fuse bloom, silica, epson salts, chi, koolbloom, etc...

OR

do you just add them after you have 800ppm with GH bloom and Micro???

I believe it is for the 2 parts, then additives...

Silly question, but do you really need all that other stuff?

[ICEToker]

well, each has it's particular value to me, but no, I have done well without it all for years...lol

I just changed the nutes, I used 5 ml GH grow, 10 ml GH Micro, and 15 ml GH Bloom per gallon...it came out to 700ppm...then I added all the other stuff and it was 1000ppm...I'm gonna dilute to less than 900 ppm and keep it there...

lucas formula doesn't use the grow GH. Just the micro 5 ml and 10 ml bloom to one gallon of water for veg. If you look at the micro- there's plenty of nitrogen in it already. For flower it's 8 ml micro and 16 ml bloom.

I'm going to try this with my new clone crop...been reading about it. I'll do a test grow with the lucas method this go 'round.

This is the lucas formula up to about 1200 PPM's and then additives. Cal-mag, B52 and that's it. 1000 HPS as close as I can get it.

That's basically what I will be using, except Liquid Karma, Instead of B-52...

As you probably know I mix Advanced nutrients, with Botanicare products. My Advanced Nutrient "Expert" (recognized by AN) is the one who told me to use LK instead of B-52.

I did go through one grow with B-52 (great deal on ebay)and it worked as well.

Thanks for the heads up latewood. I have a few good samples to try. and running low on B52. Oh that's papaya about 2 to 3 weeks from harvest.
