It a chelating agent. People use molasses as a flushing agent too.I've got some citric acid. I should see what kind of a concentration it takes to make 4.0 pH.

that and epsom saltIt a chelating agent. People use molasses as a flushing agent too.
I've never heard of people using Epsom salt for flushing. Interesting.that and epsom salt
I think it's a European thing...I've never heard of people using Epsom salt for flushing. Interesting.
That doesn't really make sense though to me.
Epsom salt is Mg and Sulphar. https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-epsom-salts-a-natural-hack-to-grow-healthy-cannabis-plants-n837Epsom salt decomposes to Mg and sulfuric acid.
Not to hijack but Lucas formula is ignorance. Why? Just not add grow? They say you can get you N from more Micro. But did you know grow is 2-1-6? So yeah grow doesn’t just equal N. That’s dumb bro science. Buy the extra bottle. In the end it’s a wash cost wise as the cost per gal is basically the same.I have no experience with Lucas. I'm using GHE nutrients (which is the European part of GH, now independent and changed their name to "Terra Aquatica" after GH was swallowed by some Big Ag). The formula of GH and GHE appear to be the same.
The schedule suggested by GH will burn the plants (it has happened to me), and growers experienced with them suggest going with half the listed numbers. That has worked very well for me.
Lucas 5/10 for GH is quite close to what I feed, 8/16 seems a tad high, but since there's no "grow" in it, it might be OK. It works for a lot of people.
Going to plain water in the last week should be OK. Applying FlashClean (FloraKleen) will probably not do much, but it's good if you want to rinse/clean the system and medium. It's also good if you have overfertilized or want to change nutrients, to get the nutes out of the medium quickly.
Their formula for FloraKleen is secret, so it's impossible to know how well it works and why.
MgSO4, strip the Mg+ and that leaves the SO4- looking for a pair of H+. H2SO4 is sulfuric acid.Epsom salt is Mg and Sulphar. https://www.royalqueenseeds.com/blog-epsom-salts-a-natural-hack-to-grow-healthy-cannabis-plants-n837
I tend to agree with regards to Lucas. The manufacturer of the nutrients did not put their formula together nilly-willy. It's in 3 parts for a reason. Lucas leaves out one part and substitutes by increasing the amounts of the other two. That's not going to be the same result.Not to hijack but Lucas formula is ignorance. Why? Just not add grow?

I just got done with a 5 day flush and am back to nutes ever other time. I finally got one up to 5.9 but gave up.well, this thread made me feed in the middle of a two week flush ...thanks. I think.![]()
I run Lucas. I never have issues from excess nitrogen and my grows rock. I get the weight and the quality. So I know you haven’t actually run it.Not to hijack but Lucas formula is ignorance. Why?

I unfortunately did. Have you tried running the GH feed chart??? Why would you eliminate one of the key components of a 3 part system? If you want a 2 part why not buy a 2 part.I run Lucas.

Not finished reading further than this reply yet but most drip clean style products are usually H2o2 and copper solutions (Dutch Pro keep it clean is) personally haven’t used any.Here's the MSDS for the Florakleen. ph of 4. Doesn't say what it is though.
Dutch Pro Keep It Clean has an entirely different purpose than FloraKleen.Not finished reading further than this reply yet but most drip clean style products are usually H2o2 and copper solutions (Dutch Pro keep it clean is) personally haven’t used any.
ah right my bad sorry.Dutch Pro Keep It Clean has an entirely different purpose than FloraKleen.
It sounds like you just don’t understand. How bout one part Lucas? Gh trio isn’t the only option.I unfortunately did. Have you tried running the GH feed chart??? Why would you eliminate one of the key components of a 3 part system? If you want a 2 part why not buy a 2 part.
Try it as GH feed chart will give better results than the half baked bro science. You are not saving money.
I'm pretty sure he understands quite well.It sounds like you just don’t understand. How bout one part Lucas? Gh trio isn’t the only option.
