I've also put full strenght lucas on seedlings, w no ill effects, altho i wouldnt suggest it purely because it's wasteful & unnecessary, i've used lower dosages & other things at low doses (canna start etc) and seen similar results
also i've used lucas and maxi back and forth for a long while now, i think i prefer the lucas using 6/12 and 8/16 micro/bloom. i like the h2o quick solubility of the liquid ferts, and dont mind the slightly higher cost.
i'm considering goin w jacks & calnit....... any threads about that method yall cn suggest to me?
Just buy some Smart Pots and a bag of Canna, hand water or Blumats. Too easy! Some people do use Coco Hempys.....but not I
It's supposed to rise. That's why you add-back plain water, non-pH adjusted. Without a full pH swing you won't allow the plants to take full advantage of all the elements available.
Got a ppm, tds or ec meter? You don't even have to dump your res. So simple.
Look up "Ask Lucas" on the net and read the entire thread. Pay particular attention to the no-dump res maintenance information.

...this is the one i've been following, ...i switched about 8 months ago thanks to advice from dubwise and i'm very glad i did.

hth, bozo
I grew in coco for a few years and never liked the A+B style nutes I can't wait to KISS!

maxi at 7 g per gal generally ph's itself down to about 6.8 in my tap water, i often go down to 6.2 or 5.8 from there.

i'd go half strength for seedlings (3.5g pr gal) full strength veg & bloom (7g per gal)
Maxi works great in straight coco and I am lazy and I run full strength on everything including seedlings.

It's stable enough that I basically just follow a "recipe" each time I mix up a batch, and it comes out to within +/- 0.2 of the target pH each time (I still test it each time just for peace of mind). Tweaking from there is super easy, and I often don't bother.

btw amazing thread,iv never fully read a thread this long,but im trying,im in page 19 lol.i love icmag
would this be good,100% coco,from seed,tapwater
per gallon:
veg
week:0-1 1/4 teaspoon maxi
week:1-2 1/2 teaspoon maxi
week:2+ 1 teaspoon
im worried about burning seedlings,so how long should i feed 1/4 and 1/2 strenght?
can you read the plant ? I also started at 1/4 from last week with maxi gro...nothings happen then i bumped 1/2...a little change..just little more greener on the leaves but still in def...and decided to bumped to full strenght, now it looks real good. read plant is very important.
BTW my seedlings are three weeks old.
happy gardening.

my exp. has led me to believe that until cotyledons start to yellow, seeds do not technically NEED any nutes at all,
what im talkin about.
but waiting for this to happen may not actually be the best method, if ya wait too long first set of leaves can begin yellowing as well.
i give them some nutes as soon as they are transplanted into cups from beginning in peat rooter starts or rockwool cubes,
maxibloom half strength, or lucas half strenght (4micro/8 bloom) or something more specialized like canna start if i have it lying around (which i do). also i give them innoculations of beneficial bacterias early on in cups (subculture M & B, plant success, humbolt mayan mycorizae, im not picky, altho im sure there are better and best ones, i use what i have....)
but since we are in the kiss thread.
ill keep it simple
half strength is good for lil seedlings, quarter strength is prolly fine also
either way you are conserving nutes by not goin full strength from the get go.

Don't be scared even a full dose won't burn seedlings.

Simple aeroponic question
Simple aeroponic question
I have kind of a silly noob question. So I'm running this aeroponic mum bucket I have with the same mix of maxi and silica I have been using. 5-6g of maxi per gal and 5-7ml of pro silicate per gal. My question is should I be adding this nute mix every time or is there a point where I just need to add plain water for a "flush". I'm pretty new to aeroponics, and when i ran it as a cloner we ran a weak cloning solution in it. Just need to clear this little bit up. In theory I want them growing as fast and as much as they can. Hopefully be cranking out a dozen or so clones a week. So the mums might be good in a nute mix all the time. Idk looking for some experiences
