airtime, you should probably post your problems in the infirmary, or look around at other posts there. I think I've seen that slimy stuff in pics in the mynamestitch thread that rocks ass- http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=11688
i've never done hydro so I can't help you there. but the infirmary should get that cleared up,

Been needing Lucas formula for a while I think, can't find a good pic of it, so I'll just add this
General Hydroponics Flora Series Feeding Strategy - Lucas Formula
G-M-B (Grow-Micro-Bloom)
0-5-10 - For Vegetative cycle (18/6)
0-8-16 - For Flowering cycle (12/12)
this formula uses only GH micro and bloom, not the grow.
Lucas formula has also been applied to Maxibloom and given a cute name.
*The K.I.S.S. Method*
MaxiBloom is a little known additive from GenHydro. However with further inspection, this 'additive' has everything the plant needs. Nothing more in your water than:
1 TEAspoon MaxiBloom
pH Calibration***
Per US gal. tap water
***(This varies depending on region, test pH amounts for YOURSELF! 1/2 Tsp pH UP works for me!)
not sure who came up with KISS, but figured id post it as these are both popular nute schedules around here.
*edit*- I should also probably mention that many people include a burst of KoolBloom with these. It varies on personal preference, evlme2 hits it up for four days before his final flush, some people throw it in twice or three times during the flower period. So find what you(and your plants) like.
P.P.S. hey managed to find a website www.lucasformula.com with some gems like these-
Lucas Formula using General Hydroponics FloraNova series
This is probably the easiest (but not cheapest - see MaxiBloom above) feeding plan available. If you're using General Hydroponics' FloraNova Bloom 1-part system, simply add 8ml of FloraNova per gallon of water* and feed.
Growing in Coco Coir (cococoir is from the Coconut Husk)
Lucas Formula when growing in Coco Coir - Head's Formula
If you're growing in coco, you may need to adjust the Lucas formula slightly to compensate for a property of coco which may result in a calcium or magnesium deficiency. How? You may be able to get by simply by adding 1-2ml of calmag (or MagiCal+), or 1 gram of Epsom salt (any pharmacy carries this), per gallon of water, before feeding the plants.
There is a modified formula specifically for Coco that consists of using a different ratio: 6ml of Flora Micro, and 9ml of Flora Bloom, per gallon of water, along with 1 gram of Epsom salt per water.
Either works, but be sure to try Head's Formula if you're having deficiencies or other nute/pH problems.
Compact Fluorescent Lights, 200w PL/L, 55w PLL etc
Low light ratio, and flowering vs veg
Lucas Formula should be used in the same ratio throughout the grow. There is a misconception that one should use 5ml of Micro and 10ml of Bloom, when in veg, and switch to 8ml of Micro, and 16ml of Bloom, when flowering.
This was never stated by Lucas himself. He originally stated that the 0-5-10 ratio was for LOW LIGHT situations (fluorescent lighting like PL/L and CFLs, or HID lamps less than 400W), whereas 0-8-16 is for medium to high light (400W+)

* What type of water should I use? What about pH/ppm?
The original formula uses reverse osmosis, or RO, water, and is intended to be used without having to measure pH and ppm. Reverse Osmosis water makes this possible because it should, in theory, be the same for everyone. It is filtered water, which you can get either by buying a reverse osmosis filter system, or just buying bottled water (among other brands, Dasani, the bottled tap water is reverse osmosis, for example). One may also use dH2O (distilled water) with good results. You can get distilled water from most convenience stores (Walgreens, CSV, Rite-Aide, etc..)
Lucas Formula for seedlings/cuttings
For young plants (< 4 weeks old) or cuttings, which may not be able to handle a full strength feeding formula, may require that you dilute the nutrient solution before feeding. This is OK, just make sure you keep the correct ratio when mixing. For example, 50% strength would be 4ml Micro and 8ml Bloom, or 3.5g of dry Maxibloom per gallon.
Lucas Formula with tap water
You may use Lucas Formula with tap water successfully, but this may require pH adjusting on your part. Keep the pH close to 5.8.
Can I use additives with Lucas Formula?
You may. It is recommended that you do not introduce additives until your setup is dialed in. After you've ironed out any deficiencies and fully understand how your plant and strain likes to be fed, feel free to begin using additives (such as Floralicious) - not that the additives will help. For increased quality and yield, focus on good genetics, and ample light and temperature control, rather than trying to compensate for those with additives.

Tagged for future reference!
this thread is veri helpfull to most of the grower that want follow a simple or more expert tab. for fertilize the garden and get maybe a decent result or stellar...
sorprise i don't see what i use from year ...one of most great and simple tab. the ADVANCED HYDROPONICS of HOLLAND + ADVANCED NATURAL POWER tab.dosage...
i use this fert. now for many run and i get ridicolous well result like giant buds and veri great tasty of weed with veri aboundant resin covered , just check the ph of my tap water and sure keep it to 5.8-6.2 and mix great the fert., only need be carefull with dosage oF GROW,BLOOM,MICRO because are veri high concentrate so keep watching closely to the tab. and if you grow in soil like me need to use half dosage, in hydro or coco coir full dosage is good!!
i use all what you see in the tab. but maybe if you follow only the main GROW,BLOOM and MICRO you get nice result
ADVANCED HYDROPONICS of HOLLAND + ADVANCED NATURAL POWER schedule

Is it just me or are these all brand name fertilizers without any info on them? its nice if you live in a hydro store type of area ina western country, but not much outside of that.
Is there such a thing as a nutrition chart that uses nutrition names and not brand names? Like how much of what chemical to add at what time? Basically like is already done, but have a detailed ingredients list for the brand names.

Fantastic info. Inspiring work.ty for your effort. on the subject of organic feeding schedules. i use earth juice line. I really never found a schedule and wouldnt know how to upload or post it proper.learning at a snails pace how to do all that and scrub pics. and thats why your helpful just look up lol
All I can find right now is the pdf link for their soil line up and additives. The website didn't seem to have the coc recipe mentioned, but hopefully it might help you.
http://www.specialmix.nl/images/Soil_growing_scheduleEN.pdf
Well yeah, it is a collection of available fertilizer schedules.
Are you looking for an elemental analysis of each product (npk ratings) or more like a when to add nitrogen to your feed and how much?
