When I was doing hydro, this was my go to.. You can run a whole cycle with it..
Edit:
Maxibloom Lucas Formula for soil is very simple to make and apply. Add 1-2 tbsps (7 grams) of Maxibloom in a gallon of fresh water. If you want a value in liters, then add 5-10 ml in 4 liters of fresh water. If you add MaxiBloom to this ratio, then you don’t ned to add MaxiGro at all.
Add the mixture every week or twice a week according to the soil condition. If the soil requires more nutrients, then we recommend you add the Maxibloom mixture twice a week

Lucas formula is with GH 3 part where you skip the grow and only run bloom and micro in flower.
Maxibloom is Maxibloom from General Hydroponics and has nothing to do with the "Lucas formula".

I believe the lucas formula and maxibloom are close elementally. At least that's what I've been led to believe. I've never looked into it, but both work petty good,, anyways, imo.
you should know and post the full ingredients of the two products to be able to make a comparison, they could contain for example, fulvic, alginates, natural hormones etc... anyway regardless of the fact that we don't know what form the macro elements are in (post the label), the ratio between P and K doesn't differ that much between the two products ((K is about half of P in both), N is a little lower in TPS Bloom boost. I would see the latter better combined with a balanced NPK fertilizer when you need to increase PK levels.

It's really called The Modified HEAD formula and like homie said LUCAS formula is with GH Liquid 3 part. It was created oe perfected by HEAD at ICMAG Forum (Its been almost a decade since I was in the forums but i was around lurking back then when HEAD was tweaking it).
I Really Miss My ICMAG days 2011-2015. Between ICMAG, Grasscity and Rollitup plus the Original OverGrow, I learned so much info in those years and I still use The HEAD method currently with a few added extras. If I remember correctly the original recipe was 7grams Maxi for every Gal and Epsom salt for CalMag(forget the actual ratio) and he Dropped the Epsom salt because he found that there was enough CalMag in the Maxi thus Creating the "Modified formula". I just took his recipe and tweaked it for my Garden over the last 10 years becuase every plant is different and I never looked Back.
Sometimes I like to ado GH Silica,GH Cal Mag, recently added TPS Liquid Kelp and currently testing Kangaroots to replace GH roots stimulator because it's expensive, I am having great results with Kangaroots. I Still Try to adhere to the KISS method of doing things but I like experimenting.

Yo got it. 6.5-7g/gal is basically the same as Lucas formula. That's why somewhere down the grapevine it's been jumbled into 'lucas formula' its basically the same thing just cheaper with maxi. I heard somewhere that the maxi line is being discontinued.... I still have a few packs of it and I've sort of moved onto diff nute lines but I always tend to go back once in a while. I'm usually between megacrop 1 part, megacrop 2 part, floraflex and maxi. Sometimes I'll run megacrop 2part for veg. I find the 1 part is too mucky and leaves alot of crunchies on the bottom of the res. 2 part is clean as a whistle.
