Underfed or a lockout from some mysterious detail of the setup/nutes/enviro that wasn't posted...:wink:

 

[Teh_Baker]

Bio buckets:
water temp - 65-70
air temp - creeping up to 89
Lucas formula
1m/2b for 35 gals
Lights
8X70w =540


dunno what else you want

I've never seen Lucas Formula in a BioBucket. What is the point? I am very familiar with Lucas Formula tho. Skews me if I'm not informed with BioBuckets. But I have read many a thread from users of bios, and aint there suppoda be beneficials or sumpin in there...that using the Lucas Formula won't supply? If you need more info on what kind of info we need...use the link in my sig.

lockup or lockout........That is The Question.....................

 

[Teh_Baker]

sorry i forgot the ph, its between 6.0 and 6.5

and i put in 175ml of hydroguard for 35gal, and the rocks had about 3 weeks to culturize before i put in the plants

lacking nitrogen it is common amoung this recipe which i love...what are you fgeeding mil. wise

 

[Teh_Baker]

I went with 35ml micro and 70ml bloom for 35 gals of water. That makes the ratio 1m/2b.

If the Lucas form should not be used for bio buckets, then what should I use?

I cant buy more nutes, and all that I have ATM are GH's 3part flora. should i go back to the 3-2-1?

I would go back to the GH recommended formula for now until you get some additives. When you get your additives, go back to the lucas formula at about 3/4 strength. You need beneficials for true bio buckets.

 

[Teh_Baker]

the beneficial bacterium's, grow, and culturize by themselves. they come from the air.

I already fed them again so its too late to switch back till next week. However I added 1/2mL per gal of G to the Lucas Form somaybe that will solve my N problem, if it is a N problem that i have

Extremely too weak ferts

Extremely too weak ferts

8ml micro and 16 ml bloom per gallon is the lucas formula. Looks like magnesium deficiency. Plenty of mag in the lucas formula if strong enough. I hate the lucas formula. Better to try 1/2 to 3/4 strength 15ml grow + 10 micro + 5 bloom per gallon during veg.

under fed for sure

^^^Yeah...I was thinking the same thing^^^

Lucas originally stated 5ml./Gal Grow, 10ml./Gal Bloom for vegging plants under flouros. It's 8/16 for flowering under HID's. This is for plants with established root systems. Go Here to read the thread from the man himself. You need more nutrients. I usually add a lil' cal mag or epsom just to be on the safe side.
