Semper Fi explains Lucarse formula.

@Semper Fi :

you go first. since you said you are familiar with it.

@Semper Fi not ruffled up. you say you know the Lucas formula yet you have no idea what it is or how it works. just clearing the air for those who use it or might want to try it.

come on man, have some fun. let's see where it goes.

What's all this about?

he was disparaging Lucas formula and I challenged him. No response yet.

Lol.

I'll be waiting.

This could have been funny

You made a post for this? To instigate someone?

Ya know... would you believe I don't know what the Lucas formula is or how it's used?

in a nutshell, long time ago dude did hundreds of grows over many years to come up with a proper nute profile for cannabis. comes up with 1-2-2 NPK is optimal for flowering. was able to achieve this profile using GH micro and bloom at 8mL/16mL per gallon of RO. also realized that this profile worked pretty well for vegging too and therefore able to use the same mix for the entire grow.

so that's it. I started telling this dude that you don't need grow, just micro and bloom. he said his plants are special and that this ancient recipe was a piece of shit although he never tried it. just use the GH feed chart on the website, he says. amazingly the GH feed chart IS the Lucas formula in week 9 and 10 (1:2 ratio micro/bloom). my reply was that the feed chart is a general guide for anything grown hydroponically.

2 other advantages: it will basically pH itself around 5.8 if using RO and there is also ample Cal and Mg so need for supplements.

and Lucarse formula shows how witty he is.

finally found the link i was looking for : here's the history if anybody is interested. has a good nute calculator at bottom too.
