Help: GH Flora Nova feeding schedule for autos?

Hey all ... quick question:

For the autos (which I’m growing 2 of in hydro) ... is the feeding schedule on the GH flora bottle good or should I use their chart for recirculating on their website.

Only asking because on the bottle is a very general guideline whereas the one on the website gives a week-to-week, but its for photoperiods (and the amounts look quite different to me).

Help please?

You can use Flora Nova BLOOM only, veg and flower at 8ml per gal. or 4 ml for a lighter feeding with grest results. 8 ml is what is called Lucas formula. No need for the grow ferts as that exact amount has good enough veg nutes in bloom bottle alone.

I did, and yes I see you said veg and bloom - my appologies ... but from what I’ve read Lucas formula requires micro and bloom. You mentioned the amount for the bloom but not the micro.

Lucas formula can be done 3 ways. Normal flora micro and bloom, maxibloom and flora NOVA. you posted about Nova correct? Nova was designed as normal floria bloom and micro all in 1 bottle. Hope that helps.

I don’t have Nova ... just the normal GH flora trio

Ok. Well your title states Nova. So for the original(which is what i have now. Getting Nova only soon to try), 6 ml of micro and 9 ml of bloom per gal. The whole grow. If young plants just cut in half for ligjt feed till they can handle full feeding. Seed week 1/8" strength. 6/9 micro/grow full grow. No need for the grow bottle.

Oh damn (that’s what happens when i post with a migraine). Thank you for the explanation AND the patience my friend!

@MATTYMATT726 - last question: since I’m using distilled water in my hydro setup, should I add additional calmag?

No, Micro has plenty of calcium. You may need more magnesium, just add a little epsom salt for that.

You guys rock - thanks! Been dealing with ph problems constantly creeping up in my buckets
