Man... I just recently switched nute bases from the Lucas Formula (GH Micro & Bloom) after over a decade to Jack's 5-12-26. It has completely rocked my world.
I have always had great quality but below average results with Lucas. I figured everything I was reading on the internet was exaggerations. However, just three weeks into flowering with Jack's and my whole world view is different. My plants are exploding upwards with leaves pointed towards the heavens and I'm having healthier plants with more impressive growth than I've ever seen.
The other thing I'm extremely impressed with is how clean the reservoir is. Extremely healthy clean roots in healthy clean water. With Lucas, I'm used to the Res turning into a fairly gross dark brown res where the roots would become stained.
I don't want to turn into an advertisement here. But the reason I am creating this thread is to hopefully help you guys profit from my experience. I regret not switching sooner. I think most of us who were from the generation who got into hydro in the infancy of internet marijuana communities started with Lucas. Back in the time when a lot of this stuff was still myth and largely underworld, Lucas was absolutely incredible. However, now that we're deep into legalization and medical, there is now so much better stuff than the Lucas Formula out there. I want to encourage old heads to not get stuck in your old ways and consider upgrading and trying new things.
Hope this was helpful.
