using the 0-8-16 ratios for lucas formula my ppm is around 1000. What is you get deficiencies? How do you add more but keep the same ratios?
Can you get deficiencies with the lucas fornula?

With a 0-8-16 it will be a nitrogen deficiency.

I think the 0-8-16 refers to the ml. of grow/micro/bloom.
When I ran the Lucas formula I was getting deficiencies too. Read here that you're suppose to supplement with cal-mag, I think the cal-mag helped, but was was still getting some deficiencies here and there, but I wasn't sure how much cal-mag to use so I was going really light with it. Come time to buy more nutes I just switched instead of trying to dail it in.
Edit-My leaf tips burned running 8/16 and ran 5/10 all the way through too.

Yeah I use cal mag too. I'm asking if you can get any macronutrient deficiencies. And if so, how can you add more nutrients without messing up the 8/16 ratio?
