ok:

well I have cutback from lucas 0-8-16 bloom formula...
I am using a 0-5-10...this allows for the ppm's/EC of the additives, without overjuicing them. I have tweaked my formula and I like the results so far...I am trying to alleviate the late flower hermie problems that seem to arrive 5-6 weeks into bloom. I figured the 1st step would be to cutback on EC a little, since it is widely known that you do not generally have to run full strength nutes for hydro.
Another positive to this theory is, nutes supply stretches 25-50% further.

so, per gallon
0- grow
5ml- micro
10ml- bloom
5ml- calmag+(if you recognize a magnesium deficiency...
use 10ml per gallon)
10ml-hygrozyme,
big bud 1tsp per gallon.92nd through 6th week of flower.
overdrive for a week (optional) then flush with final phase or clearex, or florakleen*, (what* I use now, It alsop remove salts from your hydroton, so you can safely re-use hydroton each grow...without the worry of salt build-up.

Liquid Karma I am using like a supplement when I top off.
8-10ml per gallon, for top off, instead of plain ro/distilled water. So no value of LK was given for the recipe.

With this formula your EC should be around 1.8-2.2

then to top off...I add rowater w/Liquid karma...It has N-P-K-Ca-Mg, and others I can't call off the top of my head...
But it has nutrient value So I top off with that, and it helps keep ppms where I want them, without adding more nutes or worrying about toxic levels due to not doing a complete nute solution changeout.

You caught me early, So I hope this help you out...will check abck later...lw
