Lucas is definitely the best when using the GH 3 part. GH schedule sucks.

ive asked before but nobody answered, im running the gh at 6/9, anybody ran both the 6/9 and the 8/16 and have anything to say concerning both, i imagine heavy lighting would need more juice but im not sure.

I used their Organic line and only had to alter it a bit. I increased the Bio-thrive Bloom to 15 ml later in flowering. I also felt it was a little stiff in N. and the cal/mag could use some intencity. Overall the stuff works pretty good IMO.

Here is Rezdog's formula:
Feeding ==The Recipe==

​

You've been asking exactly how I do what I do, with ferts, for a good long time.
This is a recipe for anybody to follow, based on my decade-plus experiences with GenHy's Flora Series.
It does smokin' good for me, your results may vary.
I'm always tweaking the above, and you should, too.



==The Recipe==


(All Products are GenHydro, pH at 5.5 pH)
(All measurements are per gal.)
6ml flora micro
9ml flora bloom
Kool-Bloom POWDER

VEGETATIVE STAGE AT 24 HRS. LIGHT ON
(18/6,optional)

Veg, Feed:

6ml flora micro
9ml flora bloom

Use the above 1/2-strength on seedlings and clones to 10" tall, then feed full-strength>on.




Based on 63 day 12/12 Flower Cycle:

Day 1-14
6ml micro
9ml bloom

Day 15-21
6ml micro
9ml bloom
1 tsp./Gal. Kool-Bloom POWDER (ONE FEED,DAY 15!)

Day 22-28
6ml micro
9ml Bloom

Day 29-35
9ml Bloom
1 tsp./gal. Kool-Bloom POWDER (ONE FEED, DAY 29!)

Day 36-52
9 ml Bloom
( 1 tsp./gal Kool-Bloom POWDER Slam!! AND ON DAY 36)

Day 52-63 (Flush)
5.5-6.0 pH h20 at 50 ppm


Now you know!!





ADDENDUM 9-6-09:

I've seen yields increase about 15% (!!) with the above modifications.

 

[Hydro-Soil]

Simplicity until you're confident that your plants like you......


Next time you buy nutes... pick up a small bucket of MaxiBloom from GH. It's Lucas in a dry fert so no need to mix stuff.


Stay Safe!

[cyberwax]

oh didnt know about maxibloom, is a complete substitute or just an addon? You can use it alone?

 

[B. Friendly]

sounds like a replacement for GH grow, mirco, bloom. Instead being what Lucas Formula calls for as dry powder ie easier.

 

[FreezerBoy]

I feed the plants what they ask for.

 

[slowandeasy]

I use Maxi-Bloom in DWC. It is working very well, but I have a few pointers! The stuff is powder, and very potent. I like to premix in gal jugs and shake the piss out of it. Now let it sit for a day to fully dilute. I have been just topping off and just reading the plants. One thing I would suggest is if you use RO water, you might wanna use some Magi-Cal or Cal-Mag. In veg for sure! I noticed slight spotting on some vegging plants, hit them up with some Magi-Cal 100ppm at the first sign and they are absolutely perfect now. Just started using Maxi-Bloom this round, works well....but very potent!

The reason I suggest premixing is because I believe it is so strong that if not fully dissolved it clings to roots and could cause harm. Other than that, it is good stuff. Gonna add some Floralicous+ next time and do a side by side with and with out. Good luck.

Get that swing going, Slow.... Your veg res should do the 5.2-6.1 swing, just like your flower res. You'll not need the Cal/Mag unless you have something that's been bred that sucks unusual amounts of Calcium... There's plenty in the Maxibloom.

Thanks for the tip on pre-mixing. Hadn't thought of that actually

Stay Safe!

Maxi-Bloom stays ultra stable...too stable. I agree it would be optimal to have the swing, but that would require manual changing everytime. In my DWC it just wont move much. I am just giving the Magi-Cal a try, and so far it is working great! My strain just needs more Cal, it is the 3rd round with them...so it is a pattern. Gonna do a sid by side and see the results.
