From the limited anecdotal reports available, 6.5 - 7g maxibloom per gallon of water is supposed to be close to the Mel Frank ratios (100-200-200-60 NPKMg):
I thought this was what lucas was based on, but it doesn't look like 6.5-7g maxibloom gives this ratio. Am I wrong?
The nutrient profiles used during this project varied according to Mel Frank's recommendations for both moderate and strong light gardens. It was discovered that using 250ppm N during the growth stage produced no faster growth nor higher yields than using the 100ppm N found in his flowering profile (the one highlighted red in the For Flowering section below), and that the same flowering profile could also be used during the first two weeks of growth. It became apparent that using growth stage as a prerequisite for managing a cannabis crop's nutrient profile was not only overstated, but strengths and profiles were overstated as well. While this may not be the case with other hydroponically grown crops such as tomatoes, it does suggest that cannabis has simpler needs than many people and fertilizer manufactures advocate. In fact, using his 100N-100P-200K-60Mg flowering profile for all stages of growth with just three reservoir changes produced the same yields as twelve reservoir changes and stronger profiles did. Doing less and using less produced the same results as doing more and using more.
