If the thread owner is angry about someone posting pictures in his thread, let him tell the guy. He doesnt need another reader scolding another reader in his thread. He da man in this one not anyone else! :)

.......on Lucas and vegging, people commonly say that they screw up using Lucas formula for vegging. Those are the people who read page one of the thread and skipped the other 3 years worth of posts in it by Lucas. Read the whole thing and you'll notice many many updates and many changing values!
I have a gallon of the GH grow. Til that is gone, it is 3-2-1 for vegetative. One of these days I will try to do a pure Lucas grow, start to finish, and journal it.

Im starting a new room with 4x1000w lights and 36 plants. ive been reading this forum to help me get a grasp of what it will be like since it is my first time using this particular method. ive used the ebb and flow method for 3 years and always gotten great success so i cant wait to see the amount it may increase.

When i told the guy at the local hydro shop about the lucas method, he never heard of it. I actually read the whole article by lucas humself on cannabis world webstie, and i understand the basics of using the formula. My question is, what about the pk boost for budding? Isnt this neccessary to get the biggest fattest buds possible? Also, what is best for vegging? Lucas himself says that the 0-8-16 can be used in vegging, but there is better nutrients for vegging than that. If any of you lucas experts can help me i would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

5.8lb yield.94.8oz?... .... really nice journal,,,, is your math correct? 21oz from the 4 dynamite (5+oz per), almost 12oz from the 5 ak-47.(2.4oz per).. (9 of your 15 plants=33oz) then in the final 8 dried in post #119... 8? the weight is 54oz or 6.75oz each.... well we know 4 dynamite and the 5 ak = 33oz, so the six others were 61.8oz? or 10.3 oz each.....SKUNK #11, Super strain? or fuzzy math? even if I add in the 54oz (8!) plants in the post#119 with the 9 (4dynamite and 5ak) that is 87oz.... well, must be potent ... why such a low yield on the ak-47?

I know yall will thinkim crazy, but i grew a plant last crop that yielded over 28 ounces, by itself! I dont know how, but i was really looking into using the lucas formula and switching from foc farm, but after that, how can i? Do you guys beleive that it was just the strain? or was it the hydro? Or the fox farm? the seeds were From a free mix from Vancouver seed company, so i dont know exactly which strain it was, but i do know it was atleast half "Fucking Incredible". What do yall think? Just look at the buds in the picture..And the 28 ounces...was with having to throw away about 2 ounces of bud rot. The biggest bud was bugger than 3 2 liter bottles end on end.

It was 2-1000 watt lights, fox farm 6 part nutrients, ebb and flow table, silica, and super thrive. I also had co2, and i controlled the enviroment perfectly with air conditioner, humidifer, dehumidifer, heater, the whole 9 yards. I used a 3x8 flood table, with 20 plants. It was way overcrowded, so the plants on the same side of table as this monster got drowned out, but on the other side, i still had multiple plants yield over 4 ounces a piece. I jsut wnat to know if its the genetics, or what i did with enviroment and nutrients that made thsi such a monster.

I was keeping them around 85 with co2 in the day time, and 70 in the night. But one bud started to foxtail, and i cut the temps down to around 75-80 int he day with the co2. I am glad you beleive me on this plant, because i started a thread and i got this asshole naysaying even though i have tons of pictures up. Come check it out.
