Hey bub i would appreciate one more piece of advice.that lucas formula you sent me the site for it says take a gallon bucket and add 16 ml of flora bloom and 8 ml of flora micro is that mean you feel the rest of the bucket with water to finish filling it up to your net pot or does that mean for every gallon you use to use this same ratio as this ratio???

I used it in dwc. My ppms would be around 1300 on the 7 scale. Ime, In hydro the plants can handle a lil higher feed.
How many ml of cal mag do you add
Ok thanks man how about the cal mag how many ml do you add with it?

I never added any. My plants never required it. If you see the need for it, add 1/2 strength to start. If more is needed, add a lil more.

I don't know what you use for calmag but I think 2.5ml/ gallon is a good start.
Ok thanks man i appreciate it!!!

If your just trying to get higher Mg, add some epsom salt. It's Mgso4.
mine says use 3-5 ml each watering

Go with the 3ml then. If you still see deficiencies progressing, up the calmag but not higher than 5ml.
When i tried using all three the flora micro and flora bloom and flora flora grow 10ml each gallon my plant started to claw on me
Man this plant i have really grown it to long in my opinion i veg it for 3 months it’s like 8 feet tall and 9 feet wide it awesome looking plant but i’m afraid it might have ran out of room in a 5 gallon bucket it’s drinking a gallon and half of water a day i’m having to keep an eye on it and give it water 2 times a day any suggestions?

To much nitrogen. You prolly could've backed off the flora grow a lil bit. I had problems using the 3 part also. That's why I switched to Lucas formula. You can also buy flora nova bloom. It's basically the same thing as Lucas formula, just in 1 bottle.

I said the same thing. Totally different. Once you get it dialed in, and get used to it. It pretty much runs itself. Don't forget epsom salt. You can foliar feed with it also.
I’ve got 2 1000 watt lights on top of it and one thousand watt light turned down to 600 towards the middle bottom trying to make sure it gets filled out all the way i’ve had it on 12/12 now for 9 days it’s starting to hair up pretty good now i’ve got 12 foot ceilings so heat and room is not a problem
