OKAY... so i asked this question RE: The Lucas Formula over on the Cannabis-World maryjane site (doesn't seem quite as active as this one):
"To He For Whom the Formula Has Been Named,
... I get that i'll want to use less than 0/8/16 being that i'm using a hand-watered container which can build up nutes... over on RIU its going around (and i've actually helped to send it around, ignorance is bliss
) that the Lucas formula can be used thusly; Vegatative 10ml Micro and 5 ml Bloom, Flowering 5ml Micro and 10ml Bloom. (Or 0/16/8 Veg and 0/8/16 Flower.)
Having read this entire thread over the past few hours... i can see that you have probably never encouraged this. But, for someone that has/is only purchasing GH Micro and Bloom (no Grow) ... could you recommend something like this during vegatative growth?
You are apparently not completely opposed to upping the 'N'... do you foresee any problems with this usage of Micro w/no Grow? Thanks man. (DaGambler)"
----------------
And received the following response from Lucas:
"There have been several questions lately on how to alter the Lucas Formula by adding Calcium... or even using the formula backwards for veg at 16micro/8Bloom without Grow.
I do not recommend any of those changes, but if you want to get into designing your own nutrient formula, I suggest you learn to use the spreadsheet.
The Lucas formula is 8micro/16bloom. If someone tells you it needs an additive, dont ask me how to use it, cause I dont.
If you want a veg formula, I suggest the original GH recipe, that uses the Grow@15ml/Micro@10 ml/Bloom@5ml This is the same as what is inside the Flora Nova Grow bottle.
For a bloom formula that is the same as the Lucas Formula but uses only 1 bottle, I recommend Flora Nova Bloom."
And with that he thanked many persons/entities and suggested that he would no longer be available to help in mentoring or answering questions. So... i have the distinct honor of being one of the last people able to eek an answer out of him
that means that -I- am -the- man
ha ha. ah well, that thread is a very usefull one over there, the 'Ask Lucas' thread... so it is a good source of information even if it is no longer supported by the man himself.
