I am using the Modified Lucas formula for CoCo and am hand feeding through the top every day.
I have been using the modified version which looks like this
6ml Micro per Gallon
9 ml Bloom per Gallon
1ml Cal/mag per Gallon
and I am adding 1ml per Gallon Super thrive.
My starting water is tap water which is 70ppm with an initial pH of 9.1
I added the nutes in that order mixing well inbetween and I am only coming up wiht 550ppm of TDS.
The pH comes down to 5.8 without any pH down.
I thought the lucas provided 900-1000pppm, why am I only coming up with half of that.
I make a 5 gallon batch at a time. Today I incresed micro to 8ml per gallon and bloom 12ml per gallon keeping the micro to bloom ration the same. Left the calmag and superthrive the same and came up with 700ppm TDS.
What am I doing wrong?
the plants are only in veg and growing 1/2 inch a night which is good but I want to get the most growth I can. I plan on keeping the formula the same for bloom as well since the formula states this is okay.
Any ideas?
