Potassium (K) deficiency (Lucas formula GHE)

SOBIESLAWstarted grow question 4y ago

I am trying the lucas formula, on the ghe nutrients. But it looks like one of my plants are now going into a potassium deficiency. Should i start adding the grow nutrient, and skip the lucas formula? Or add more bloom And stick with it? Grow=5% potassium and Bloom=3% potassium.

If you're using the Lucas formula you're going to want to add more Bloom.

Are you applying the formula correctly? The Lucas formula for bloom is 8 ml/gal of MICRO and 16 ml/gal of bloom. If you are, then it's very possible that your baby wants more nutes than she's getting. Your first step needs to be to recalibrate your pH Meter and make sure that you are truly around 6.0-6.3 in your res. I assume you're doing hydro? Pretty sure the formula is specific for hydro although I suppose it could work with soil...

Plants dropping off at end of bloom cycle Please tell me some brief information about the amount of nutrients you are using and why. I am trying to find the perfect amount and get my formula just right. My leaves seem to be yellowing and going all crispy and brown even falling off towards the end of my bloom cycle

Which feeding recipe for auto in preflowering/flowering would you choose? PH Perfect Grow, Bloom, Micro supplements.Hello! I'm going to switch the feeding of my auto to flowering soon. I don't like the ratios recommended by AN, since it's for photoperiodic plants, that require more feeding. I calculated few recipes. Using soft water, so need more Cal/Mg. Want to hear your opinions/suggestions.

I was always wondering if im calculating nutrient mix right. For example: My tap water is 350 ppm. In late veg i should feed 800 ppm mix. How should i mix? : 1. 350 ppm tap + 450 ppm nutes = 800 ppm mix OR 2. 350 ppm tap + 800 ppm nutes = 1150 ppm mix I always mixed "1" way
