Lucas formula good for beginners?

[RagnorokYoshi]

hey i was wondering if the Lucas formula was good for beginners learning hydroponics? i was looking into nutes (still because im waiting on something first) and i was lloking at mico and bloom nd it came to mind. I understand the lucas formula but is it really the best?

Best is too subjective. I will say Lucas is damn easy.

lol ok well what would be better to learn because i just dont want the easy way.i havent found a whole breakdown on nutes to actually study. if you get what im saying

to learn take the easy route
unless you want to learn from mistakes

cant argue there.

even if you choose not to do lucas formula, read some his threads regarding plant nutrients. His general philosophy of how a plant requires a certain balance of nutrients for optimum growth really resinates with me. This goes against what a bunch of slickly marketed additives would have you believe, and they are often counter productive, and expensive.

I am on day 30 of flower into my first grow and I am using the Lucas Formula, and I couldn't be more pleased. My ph and ppms have been right on so far. And my plants look great. I think its a great way to start to get a handle on your system and a good understanding of your plants. I keep the calculator handy and the add back method is super simple. I agree reading the ask Lucas thread is a good idea it helped me alot. Good luck.

Lucas formula, IMHO, is the easiest way to start out in hydro. Check out cannastats for a whole ton of info.

Here's another vote for Lucas.

It's insanely easy and productive. If you are just starting off, there are many other things you need to worry about. Using lucas will simplify one area of learning.

Good luck!

Lucas is the best damn way to learn hydro to date.

Don't forget to flush for the last 14 days or so.

That's a big 10-4 partner. It's good for me and I'm well past beginner status. Get the dry nutes called Maxi-Bloom and Maxi-Grow, mix 2 parts grow and 1 part bloom and you've got Lucas formula. I do zero farting around with nutes, and get great results.
