Head is better than Lucas for coco... Head is 6 ml Micro, 9 ml Bloom, Lucas is 8 ml Micro, 16 ml Bloom, too strong for coco, and not the right balance.

I do a couple powder slams, too........

The main reason why Lucas isn't so great for coco is the Lucas Formula has an approximate nutrient profile of:
100 N
100 P
200 K
60 Mg
100 Ca

So, K, which is Potasium, is NATURALLY OCCURING IN COCO. So, as the coco breaks down it releases Potasium (K).... the Head formula is much lower in Potasium, and therefore seems to work better for Coco.
