who uses any extras other than cal mag with ebb and flow?

So the last grow got hit full strength full line of hollands secret I think there was 5 or 7 different things. Well this run only using the micro grow bloom of the same series of HS, with cal mag of course. Using about 3 weeks less veg on the seed plants and veged clones a week and a half after they came out the cloner. This is just day 8 after the fluo. Had to tie a couple of the cuttings, from a sativia dom bag seed that's skunky as shit smelling. Seems to be a nice big easy plant to grow. Super bud #1 sucks and I'm debating on destroying it to get better use of space. I mixed my nutes at exactly what the bottle says and with cal mag and ro water pushing 1050 8th day from flip. Pineapple skunk, mazar kush, the bagseed are all loving it but not the super bud from ghs. The auto critical jack started slow on the table from day 1 its finally comin around though. Have 1 more super bud that looks better going to see how it is going to react with the feeding. Pics from day .7.

I'm currently using FloraNova, and will add Liquid Koolbloom in Bloom.

That's it.

Last grow was FloraDuo, and Liquid Koolbloom.

Cheap, easy and yields like a MOFO.

You don't need a shit load of expensive bottles with cartoon characters on them to grow primo.

Lucas formula, cal-mag at half strength to supplement. H202. Refresh every 8-10 days. I'm trying unsulphered molasses diluted in warm water in the ebb and grow for the first time. Everything is really sticky and smelly already so not sure I will even notice a benefit if there is one.

I have heard about the Lucas formula. Now I will go learn it. Off to Google.

I looked at the Lucas formula and I don't like it I don't think. It seems that the makers of a product would be the best at telling you how to use that product. It is definatley probably easier with only two parts to deal with. I just like to follow directions on the bottle. Might hit it one time with a flushing agent bit ill be going the bottles chart til its done then ill finally have the answer to my questions about if all the whole line is best or the three parts get the job done.

I use micro, bloom, cal-mag, roots, sweet, moab... obviously in certain weeks I use certain ones. Sweet an moab I use only in flower. Roots stop in flowering. Cal-mag stops in late flower

Honestly it took me about a year after discovering the forumla to try it. But after reading about how many people have switched to it I used it in one of my reservoirs VS advanced nutes in the other res. I have switched 100% to lucas. Try it yourself, you may be surprised how simple and effective it is.

I am in product testing for a custom LED light, I will make a journal in a few months and show everyone.

Does the Lucas formula buffer out at 5.8 ph? Future harvest development hollands secret mixed correctly hits 5.8 ph every time.

I've got a bridge for sale if you believe that.
AN tried it too, and you still have to adjust it.

if you are talking about what i said about future harvest development hitting 5.8ph, meaning you dont believe what i said, give it a try.
i guess you missed the part where i said mixed correctly. using ro water i use 1 tsp per gal cali magic follow hollands secret feeding chart and every time its on the dot.

Really? When I was drain to waste I ran AN's ph perfect line and it worked flawlessly, now that I re-use my waste I no longer use it but that isn't what they intended it for. In the end is the user not the product.

i use lucas,ro,calmag, and a few drops of supersthrive in my ebb and grow bucket system. keep it simple just stay on top of your ph.

I use a light GH Lucas formula. Cal-mag, Diamond nectar, Florablend, and sometimes "209"

I use gh full line in a flood and drain table and noticed a definite difference in flower quality.

Any additives can be beneficial when added correctly to the res! They can also be just as detrimental in the end if not applied correctly!

Mixing nutes in the proper proportions is the majority of the battle! Most don't realize this until it is too late! GH makes some killer base nutes to say the least! I have grown baseball bats using it and nothing else!

Batters up!
