Basically I'm on my 110th grow and used GH Flora on more than half of them -- all hydro.

Allow me to help you some more, since I was in the original group that came up with, and tested, that formula. Lucas was a member of the group, and he posted our results on a web forum, and it's been called Lucas Formula since then. GH Flora is a 3-part product, by not using the Grow component, you are omitting the ammonium source of Nitrogen. That's all. The recipe that is the lucas formula is for an inert medium, as in hydro. It's far too strong for soil.

With soil you don't need to water with such a high concentration of nutes, you will get those results. Also you are wasting a lot of flora series.

So for soil.. what should be the ppm of the water if the water had calmag and maxibloom mixed in it? Or dose the calmag need to be added at all?

I mean, I’m using Lucas formula in a 8/16 ratio with magnifical (all remo) and my plants are lovin it. 2nd time running in pro mix HP with no issues..actually I cut down on nutrients this time so it’s been better. Last grow I was using kelp/Astro flower/natures candy in small doses & got a bit of burning(buds were still next level) which I would think was because of those additives because I took them out and am just running lucas formula with mag & their doing great.

this is 9 days into flower, the 4th picture is when i trellised & bent them 9 days ago.
