Question about Lucas formula from a noob

Hollatchaboy · Aug 25, 2020

I'm not exactly out of the woods yet either. Now I can't figure out how to get my humidity lower. I don't have a dehumidifier but luckily my buds aren't real big and I have quite a bit of airflow and exhaust running 24/7.

You’re thinking is right. Lots of airflow

what's the mix rate for it?
i love bioag cyto plus: kelp, humic and micros in a powder. 0.5 g per gal. and cheap too.

but i think that and sulfur from epsom help the smells a ton.

Hey I know this was posted awhile back, but just reading.
You add the cytoplus to your dwc with good results? You are running a system with Benny's? Would cytoplus work in a sterile rez you think?
I have a lot of it from when I was in soil, bit I have not wanted to try it in my sterile system.
I do also have another system for vegtables that runs with hydroguard. I'd be happy to try adding some cytoplus to that

yes, yes and it should work sterile ( i think). i ran it at 0.5g per gallon. i tried a different powder from kelp4less and it didn't mix up very well. after a day or so, it had mostly settled at the bottom of my res. but the cyto+ mixed up very well. maybe a slight brown residue left behind.
you can always foliar with it too.

actually, i take that back (after the coffee kicked in). google interactions b/t chlorine and humic acid. for some reason, i kinda remember that ended up being a bad idea.

Ppm Breakdowns of Lucas and H3ad.
I used h3ad on my first coco grow.

Your ppm chart makes more sense than what OP is saying he's seeing. I've been using h3ad method for a while in coco without issues. I'll usually get like 1000-1100EC using tap water. I have however increased the strength while keeping the ratio the same. Aim for about 1400EC nowadays.

Can grow 4ft tall healthy looking plants with just the two bottles and a bottle of calmag

For me, actual nute solution ppm on my tds meter is higher than elemental ppm on the chart. Because the nute solution also contains dissolved solids other than grow elements.

I absolutely love bioag for the humidity acids and micros. It did great things for me in soil.
Thank you for your input, I was kinda thinking the same thing about sterile systems.
I will differently be doing foliar though, and possibly adding it to my vegtable garden NFT rez that uses hydroguard.
