AN is well worth it IMHO.

Looks like the AN reps are hard at work in this thread

I think that would be fine. How far along are your plants?
Edit:
Oh, never mind. If you're already in flower, your plants are already used to drinking that formula. I wouldn't do it.

I can assure you I'm not an AN rep. Just too damned sexy.Looks like the AN reps are hard at work in this thread

Oh no, not you, I was talking about Hugetoms and Aeroman.

Right. If anything, I'm likelier to be accused of being a GH rep. I'm doing the AN Sensi thing for my next so will be conducting an impartial comparison. I think RIU deserves a real comparison from a real person.
edit:
Your user avatar is hilarious btw.
edit again:
Oh wait, you're the one who did those Dyna Grow comparisons, right? I'll cruise your threads.

Comparisons are very helpful to the community, even when they don't turn out like you hope (which was the case with my first test where my beloved GH got beat by my current line). I also featured Connoisseur in my second comparison and the results are in my sig. I found Connoisseur to be a pretty poor performer considering how expensive it is, subbed for your results with sensi.

Very interesting and informative. Thank you.

"The current Lucasized Formula with GH Flora is still 0-8-16 as you said. Other nutes, such as PBP can also be made to approximate similar NPKMg values, for example PBPBloom @ 15ml/gal plus 5ml/gal Cal Mag.., or 8ml/gal Flora Nova Bloom
Both with target TDS @.7 of about 1300ppm (use less FNB, like 6ml/gal if your TDS exceeds 1400 with 8ml)" -lucas

no idea man, cant advise.

I've never personally did a hempy bucket grow, but i believe the FNB is more cost effective as well as giving the plant EVERYTHING it needs. FNB has cal and mag in it.
Hi
This is my first time using the aeroponic system. In the third week of the blooming phase, my leaves started yellowing. Assuming this meant the nitrogen was low, I started looking for a solution. Thats when I found the Lucas formula and thought it looked like he really knew what he was talking about.

My PPM is between 700-840 @.7 conversion. Im in Europe and am not sure Im doing it correctly. Im using a water filtering process we call osmose. This means the water goes in at EC .06 and comes out at .00. I am not sure if the chemicals are the same here. I have Flora Micro NPK 5-0-1, Flora Gro NPK 3-1-7 and Flora Bloom NPK 0-5-4. Ive used the formula of 0-8-6. Since we dont use gallons here, I converted my 40L of filtered water and came up with 10.5 gallons. That meant I added 0-84.5-169. What do I need to do to get my PPM up to the proper level?
Thanks very much for you help.

1 Gal =3.78 liters.. so times that by 10.5 gets you 39.69... times that by 16 =640ml for bloom half that for the micro. I'm sure you're adding the micro first then the bloom? FWIW i add cal mag when using the lucas, i also use a little bit of grow until 2nd wk of flower. From what i see looks like you could use some N. I also noticed you said 0-8-6?
Was that a typo? It's 0-8-16
