Flushing Plants Before Harvest Is Unnecessary says Rx Green Tech

I have no experience with Lucas. I'm using GHE nutrients (which is the European part of GH, now independent and changed their name to "Terra Aquatica" after GH was swallowed by some Big Ag). The formula of GH and GHE appear to be the same.

The schedule suggested by GH will burn the plants (it has happened to me), and growers experienced with them suggest going with half the listed numbers. That has worked very well for me.

Lucas 5/10 for GH is quite close to what I feed, 8/16 seems a tad high, but since there's no "grow" in it, it might be OK. It works for a lot of people.

Going to plain water in the last week should be OK. Applying FlashClean (FloraKleen) will probably not do much, but it's good if you want to rinse/clean the system and medium. It's also good if you have overfertilized or want to change nutrients, to get the nutes out of the medium quickly.

Their formula for FloraKleen is secret, so it's impossible to know how well it works and why.

Not to hijack but Lucas formula is ignorance. Why? Just not add grow? They say you can get you N from more Micro. But did you know grow is 2-1-6? So yeah grow doesn’t just equal N. That’s dumb bro science. Buy the extra bottle. In the end it’s a wash cost wise as the cost per gal is basically the same.

I tend to agree with regards to Lucas. The manufacturer of the nutrients did not put their formula together nilly-willy. It's in 3 parts for a reason. Lucas leaves out one part and substitutes by increasing the amounts of the other two. That's not going to be the same result.

If I want a two-part nutrient, I'll buy a two-part nutrient.

That's also how the pH level drops. As the Mg and other metals are striped and used it always leaves behind a negative charge ion looking for the H+ acid maker. H2O2 is similar as it will decay to H2O with the O+ , O3>O2 and O+ all looking for something to latch on to, aka reduction (of charge) but not necessarily acid forming.

I run Lucas. I never have issues from excess nitrogen and my grows rock. I get the weight and the quality. So I know you haven’t actually run it.

I unfortunately did. Have you tried running the GH feed chart??? Why would you eliminate one of the key components of a 3 part system? If you want a 2 part why not buy a 2 part.
Try it as GH feed chart will give better results than the half baked bro science. You are not saving money.

Not finished reading further than this reply yet but most drip clean style products are usually H2o2 and copper solutions (Dutch Pro keep it clean is) personally haven’t used any.

Dutch Pro Keep It Clean has an entirely different purpose than FloraKleen.

It sounds like you just don’t understand. How bout one part Lucas? Gh trio isn’t the only option.
