Potassium (K) deficiency (Lucas formula GHE)
SOBIESLAWstarted grow question 4 years 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.
The8thChevronanswered grow question 4 years ago
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...

Hello community! I broke 2 branches this week. The first one happened by accident when I was draining the runoff, and the other when I was bending it.And today I came across a video where the author explains that silica can cause brittleness of branches. Does anyone have experience with silica and have you experienced anything like this? I add potassium silicate with each watering, at a concentration of 15ppm

PK Boost TimingBy what visual indicators do you determine the ideal timing for giving a week of PK13/14? The stretch seems mostly complete, the buds are thickening daily, and the first trichomes are appearing on the sugar leaves. Should I start now or wait a few more days?

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" wayWeek 9

Dutch Pro Nutrition AmountsNew to Dutch Pro nutrients and Im loosing my mind!
1. When week 3 begin I shouldn’t use Grow A/B no longer?
2. The chart says for bloom 250-350ml A/B per 100 L
I use 20L means 300/5= 75ml
Thing is does it 75ml each or both?!Setup. Strain - Autoflowering
