I've dug around for a few weeks on various forums looking for information on this and overall it is difficult to find and not very detailed so I figured I'd start a thread here.

Pretty simple question, what are you favorite additives with the Lucas Formula if any?

I found that Bloombastic at 3ml/gallon sped up the thickening up my flowers a fair bit. Not nearly as much as I'd have liked, but definitely sped it up compared to before. I also use DM Zone at 2.4ml/gallon now because I've found Maxibloom likes to stain the roots bright pink in my DWC system. I'm considering adding DM Liquid Light and the other product that goes with it.

I've rocked the floraseries with and without the grow for a long time. It is possible to have deficiencies using the lucas, most likely only Mg or possibly Ca though. If Ca, up the micro a little. If Mg, epsom salt.
Other than that, here's a list of what I ALWAYS include into the nute soup:

I just add RO water to the Lucas formula. If you add anyhting else, it's not the Lucas formula.

Lucas said the use of additives is okay. It's on lucasformula.org as far as I'm aware Lucas Formula is the formula you follow throughout the entire grow for base nutrients, not all nutrients.
