I am looking to switch over to the Lucas Formula and I am using pH perfect nutrients by AN.
Each of my buckets has about 15 liters or 4 gallons in it. The directions on the bottle are 4ml/l for each of the 3 parts.
4-4-4 with 15 L of water calls for 60-60-60 mL in each bucket = total of 180 ml of nutes
But I am thinking that I should NOT be using full strength nutes, and I want to switch to the Lucas Formula.
Lucas calls for 0-5-10 per gallon. So I would need
0-20-40 ml in each bucket = total of 60 ml of nutes.
I know that each bottle contains different nutrients, but looks like Lucas Formula calls for about 1/3 of the recommended nutes on the bottle. Is this enough in my case? I was thinking half strength was the way to go.
Does anybody have any experience in using the Lucas Formula with AN pH perfect nutrients? or does anyone have any thoughts on wether or not this should work? Will the buffers in the nutrients still work even without all 3 parts? Would I benefit from adding just a little bit of grow? Or should I just use a little bit more, like 0-30-60? amp it up a little bit to get to the half-strength level?
