Okay, so the lucas formula did not work for you. Yet you still come and bring nothing other than YOUR failure at it, as these forums are overrun with folks that have produced stunning crops with that method and some still do.
I say you report your grow and I would be willing to bet, in very short order the cut corners and misteps would manifest instantly and then we would get to see the real deal. I am less than a rookie grower, but I read my ass off in these forums and as far as I can tell, 99.99% of growing errors are generated from the grower and the other .01% is manufacturing defects. The plant, whom has an untold amount of experience, will only do as it is instructed, never anything more.
Peace
