The Lucas Formula

I will be starting a new grow soon and I have almost everything ready for my 6-site rdwc setup. Up until recently I was sure I wanted to try the lucas formula, but upon researching it more for reasons I'm not even really sure of I'm second guessing this strategy. Originally I wanted to do it because I'm new and it seemed like a very simple and straight forward feeding schedule. Upon doing more research I don't believe it would be that difficult to find a plants sweet spot for a regular feeding schedule.

I was hoping to get feedback from you all as it is hard to find unbiased advice on both sides in one place. Should I try the Lucas Formula for my first grow? Will I experience any issues from this schedule specifically? Any and all information is appreciated!

If using RO water and gh------ you will need cal-mag (around 5ml/gal).

Most important factor in nute solution is starting water quality.

comparing well established nute brands is like comparing chevy to ford---imo.

Maxibloom powder, cal mag and PH up. That's all you need. Yes it is stupid easy. PH meter is the only thing you put any effort in. Cheap easy, works.
