Im running a bastardized 6/9 formula with LKB and so far its doing way better then ALL the other bullshit I tried the last year. The trichome production alone on my Jamacain this run with gh is killing the Super Soil and the Conny, Fuk all the BS Im say'n, back to what works and isnt a guess!! Everything's looking so greasy compared to usual. I dont know, Id say its the coco and gh.
TOTALLY depends on what I'm running. Like I think I mentioned above, I've run girls who could only tolerate 3mls/gallon, otherwise they turned dark green and burned too much. Others want more, but I've never fed higher than 6mls/gallon, just never needed to.Flora nova is super salty, make sure you flush 2 times before a feed like everyone suggests, if you are feeding 5 mls per gallon. I top out at 3.0 to 3.5 mls per gallon in the peak of flower! Looks like I should try to bump it up next run. What are your guys bloom strengths in week 5-7 of flower?????? How many mls?
It's just a recipe/methodology. Once learned, it can be applied anywhere, really. Then, adjusted to taste.Also, I was under the impression that the lucas style of feeding was only for hydro growing, is that not correct?
I'm not reading this right, am I?I never heard about it till the guy at the grow store recommended it to me. I tried Flora nova for veg and I liked it. I only started using the Flora Nova Bloom and have only used it on two waterings and the Diffrence is Big, I dont measure out I just dump in what looks like 3tbs per gallon, I also use that with Blackjacks water conditioner and Black jacks Liquid Humic acid.Oh! I also just started using GH's Liquid KoolBloom. My plants are doing good,I love this stuff. I water about 2-3 times a week.

Alright, who wants to lay bets on how long it's gonna be before we see the newest "What's wrong with my girls?" thread? Where's the facepalm smilie when I need it?
Then again, if it works....

I beat my head into the table on that one too!!! 3 tbs is a whole helluva lot bro! I'm guessing he meant tsp, which is still a lot! But yeah, the 1.5 TSP/gal (~8ml/gal) I put in two days ago sat really well with all 3 of the strains I have going, no signs of burn and look awesome. I'm not going over that cause of all the literal shit that I have in my soil already.
The measurements you're talking about are per LITER not by the gallon bro...if you have a chance check the back of your bottle and it will tell you that max strength is 3.75 ml/L...that's equivalent to 3 tsp/gal. The LF I'm using is 8 ml/GAL which comes out to a little over 1.5 tsp/gal, so I'm still way below what they consider to be max strength. You are right, at max strength you are looking at 1350 ppms but with the lucas formula it should measure out somewhere around 750-800 ppm.
ph lands right in the zone, 5.5-5.9 when first mixed, 5mls is about 800ppms at .5 conv, As for 5-8mls that is the Lucas formula, 0-8-16 is also, ck the ppm's on that one fella's, 1400ish, We used to put clones into DWC with 0-8-16 and never missed a beat. Lucas is still around, We talk every once in awhile.
Wasnt untill 2-3 yrs ago and the UC/MPB folks started and bam everyone lowered the ppms bigtime, Guess what else appeared at a rate never seen in DWC before? Root Rot. Call me crazy but no one hardly ever had pythium back in the day, everyone's DWC ran killer, the main concern was rez temps and it was said under 75 and you will survive. thats all changed now.
But back to the topic at hand. Ill change my recommended dosage, FNB at 3-8mls depending on stage. start at 3 and slowly work up, then back down at week 6.

Yeah you don't have to run cal mag, little Epsom salts is all you need maybe.
You crazy bro I've been watering the plant daily since it started the hairs with river water from the front of my house mixed with bong water and enough floranova bloom to turn the water black and my plant is almost 5 feet tall with 2 feet wide range branches never ever have taken the PH of my water or nothing... Oh and I smoke cigarettes next to my plant since it sprouted and never had any sad plant look neither. Like a bossI agree in general, Buddy, but to my eyes he's talking about pushing a lot of food through dirt, and that's not usually necessary. That 8ml/gal number GoD put out there is on the high end of the range, in my opinion.
Lazarus, if I were using it in soil I'd feed no more than once a week, and I'd start at the 5mls/gal end that GoD spoke of. Then, go from there based on what they're telling you.
Que rrrico!
Sorry I grow in promix hd m ..Quick question when u use the floranova bloom do u add the liquid koolbloom n floriacious plus in the same gallon n then just 2 more watering of water for rest of week.. or if I water 3 times per week should I just do 1 nute per watering
