DWC Lucas formula question

how does this work?
Just use maxi-bloom. It comes with a scooper that has a tsp side and since the formula calls for 7g /gal that's ~2 tsp /gal so two scoops.

The way that I personally use it and have been for years now is while plants are young and in veg, I use half of that dosage (so 1 tsp /gal) but once they get into flower, I up it to full (2 tsp /gal).

Tbh (and as an aside) as soon as I stopped treating feeding my plants like I was solving quantum mechanics problems and instead just started eye-balling things, my plants all did better. So what I mean is, if the plants look like they want more/need less, I give more/less food by tsp /gal increments. It's really simple

Lastly some people view working with dry fertilizer to be cumbersome but it's really not. Don't overthink the moment, no hot water pre-mix or any other nonsense is needed. All I do is add some tsp scoops to my water (tap), stir it for a few seconds, and then let it rest for 15 or so min; after that time is up I give it one more quick mix which should dissolve most all of it.

Current grow:

The keen eye may notice some yellowing; this is due to my Waterfarm feed tube getting yanked up by mistake while working in the tent which caused the system to stop recirculating for a day before I caught onto it.

Prev grow (same everything but the strain):

i grow in a 5 gal bubbler and run 'lucas formula maxibloom for years now

i use silica blast, maxibloom powder (7g per gallon,, which is the small scoop) and hydroguard from 1st week til harvest, and add liquid cool bloom for flower, and powdered cool bloom last 2 weeks


1 bag of maxibloom will feed 3 plants for $20

way cheaper than liquid trio and all the add ons

start and veg in a 3.5 gal bucket and save even more :)
