just a quick question h3ad,
Do I use your 6/9 ratio if I want to veg for lets say 2 months? maybe they require more nitrogen, what do you think?

also, do you think products like florakleen can solve the harshness if I use it in the last 2 weeks of flower when I used 6/9 throughout the entire first 6 weeks of flower?
thx

H3ad I can't understand why anyone would want to waste their time and money with all these extra additives out there, when you have clearly proven that less is more and balance is king. Seems to me that they just get suckered into all the marketing of these additive products and trick themselves into thinking it grows better bud to justify the ridiculous amounts of money they wasted. Even worse is they perpetuate the silly claims these companies make to others. Its laughable!

I have searched everywhere and I can't seem to find a definitive answer on water/feeding schedule. Do you water with plain water one day and with nutrient solution the next, etc.? I'm seeing in other threads that people feed everyday, but I want to emulate your method and results H3ad and I'd like to know exactly what YOU recommend.
YES, it is rightTheBEAK said:Great thread H3AD
I just want to make sure, that my calculations for the "H3AD formula" in Liters are correct.
6 ml Micro pr. Gallon = (6/3.78541) 1.6 ml Micro pr. Liter
9 ml Bloom pr. Gallon = (9/3.78541) 2.4 ml Bloom pr. Liter
Can this be confirmed by anyone?

Just found this thread.....Want to confirm the actual formula if anyone can help....I read about 15 pages and there seem to be some variations.
What is the ACTUAL usage of the formula in its current usage?
6 ml Micro/gal
9 ml Bloom/gal
From start to finish? I read that he is NOT using epsom salts anymore is this right? Should the formula be suited for different stages of growth?
I am just curious if h3ad has an actual "step by step" usage of this particular formula or if I can go 0-6-9 the whole grow or alternate with plain water, etc... Anyone know?

I've been trying to find this out myself but have not gotten a response. Its a simple question, do we feed every watering or alternate, etc?

Instead of firing off a bunch of posts demanding answers to questions which have already been answered multiple times within this very thread (as well as elsewhere), please try reading the thread first. People actually went through the trouble typing out the answers to these questions with detail for a reason.
I know, I know... it's a lot of work, and you deserve to have us grow your plants for you, but hey, life's tough.
(FYI - the reason is NOT so that they'll have to copy & paste for you again because you're too lazy. Hint, hint, ever wonder why you got no responses?)

Actually clowntown I have scoured this thread from beginning to end several times and not a single post clearly states whether H3ad feeds with every watering or alternating. But thanks anyway for being so helpful smart guy.

One could assume from my wording that I feed every watering, especially considering no alternating is ever mentioned.
The only mention of plain water is during flush, and alternating with plain water is never really ever even alluded to. If alternating had been part of my regimen, surely there would have been clear mention. If I don't mention something, I meant to leave it out, generally.Grat3fulh3ad said:

Thank you for clearing that up H3ad, I will also note that for future reference. I apologize if it seemed like I was getting an attitude. Generally I do not like to just assume things (just as clowntown automatically assumed I did not read your thread), especially when it could be detrimental to my crop.

H3ad,
This is my first coco grow and I ran into a problem my first week, the plant were all very light green. I read this thread and changed my soilish ways, the plants are darkening up and look very healthy. The only problem I have is that I only have the small bottles of flora nutes that came with my unused waterfarm. I do have full tubs of maxi gro and bloom, I used the excel sheet linked from the lucas formula post. This is what I got by using 3/4 tsp of maxibloom and 1/2 tsp micro.

This is my first time trying to figure something like this out, if you or anyone that has had practice has the time could you tell me if I am right? I would love to only have to replace the micro since this tub can go for alot of grows.

Those ratios should work fine. I'd be comfortable trying them out.

Grat3fulh3ad.. This thread is awesome! It has gotten me through my first grow so far and pretty nicely as far as I can tell so for that you are awesome!! Thank you for makin it so easy, though I am using koolbloom after I read Rez's recipe your thread got me started with the GH. That was a few months ago and now I am just a little confused as to when I can drop the micro. If you could help me out that too would be awesome!!
I am trying to follow your guidelines as best as I can. I am outdoors, plus I have never flowered these strains before so I have no idea how many weeks they need. I have some pictures that I took today but I lost my connection to the computer so I can't upload them until tomorrow.
I'm thinking right now is a good time to stop because it seems as if the calyxes are all formed and now getting fatter turning into buds. I have four total and two of them are a little behind was wondering if I would be hurting them a lot if I dropped the micro with them too.
Anyways, I will get pics up in a day or so and hopefully give you a good idea of what would be best.
Thanks!

You can drop the micro when stretch has completely stopped, and calyx production seems at it's peak... roughly 1/2 way through flowering depending on strain...
