Thank you, yes that did answer my question.

I'd like to say high to everyone as this is my first post on the board. I've been reading a lot and trying to get familiar with this method of growing before putting any $$$ into it.....well I took the leap and went hog wild. Everything on the way.

I was under the impression that the Lucas Formula was someone's home receipe of nutes. Didn't know it was GH's receipe. After reading the board I decided to go with AN's 3 part, cal-mag+, hygrozyme, big bud, bud blood, overdrive, voodoo juice and liquid karma. I'll get final phase later on down the road.

I must admit, I'm still quite confused about the proportions of each I should add to the 55gal reservoir (yes, I'm using all 55 gallons). I'm right at the start of the program, so I hope to find a good week by week "per/gal" receipe with the ppm that I can taylor to the specific plant as I learn more. I know each strain has it's own preferences but hopefully I can find a table like AN's "nutrient calculator" with more accurate figures. (damn, why hasn't anyone created that same web page with customizable ingredients)

I've years of experience with soil so I hope that will help me diagnose and prevent failure early on should any occure. I hope to have my room complete by the end of the week and tested for function by weekend.

Thanks again for your help and thanks in advance for any more you can offer.
