Yes I did for awhile. It works well. I stuck clear of the H2O2 and enriched with beneficial bacteria. For veg- the ratios weren't right and it kept yellowing my plants a bit. Flower it worked pretty well, nothing out of the ordinary. I have gone back to previous formulas. Lucas is cheaper than reg-3 part, but I found it lacking for a sturdy veg.

Thanks for the kind words man. My second grow right there. My personal favorite, Chocolope. It was lucas for all of its veg life. I had to feed extra/foliar with a nitrogen-rich recovery formula to keep greening it up. The lucas formula will work and take plants through to maturation and it will save you money.
But in my experience the Lucas is too weak with greening the plants up. The base was only Lucas, I used Mychorrizal and then a carb/sweet nutrient during flowering. That's pretty much it. A cheap bloom booster was used intermittently (I'm light on the nutes).

Instead of sealing the room you can use a fan speed controller with a timer. Figure out how long it takes for your CO2 to fill up to 1,000-1,400ppm. Take note of that time and set your fan speed controller to the same time as when you kick on your CO2.

I'm switching to the Lucas as of today, bought a trash can and filled it up with the mix, very optimistic but I've used GH flora series and had great results! I decided to try out the general organics line and yes I like it but I think I like flora a little better, I guess we will see how it goes!
