    Adding nutrients to reservoir

    I have a drip to waste drip system reservoir. I'm doing the lucas formula (8 ml micro, 16 ml bloom per gallon) and fill reservoir with 20 gallons. The problem is, once my reservoir gets down to like 2 or 3 gallons or so, the water level is to low for my water pump to suck in water so i've been...

    Can you get deficiencies with the lucas fornula?

    Yeah I use cal mag too. I'm asking if you can get any macronutrient deficiencies. And if so, how can you add more nutrients without messing up the 8/16 ratio?

    How do you know when to increase nutrient strength

    Im currently using all three (grow,micro,bloom) and am at 'full vegetation' stage @ 550ppm of the chart that "deetee" above is using. Can I still switch to the lucas formula at this stage? And if so, do I start at 50%,75% or 100% strength?

    more light worth it or not??

    It's possibly worth it but only as side lighting because a 600 watt can't effectively penetrate a plant that is 5 feet and taller. But as someone said, you'd have to maybe worry about heat.

    Proper ventilation in tent?

    It depends on what kind of light you have and how hot it gets in there. In the winter time your probably ok but in the summer you'll probably need to add a fan or two (you should have them anyway for air circulation).

    Can normal people recognize a plant?

    The thing is if even I, or many of the other growers here walked by a weed plant camouflaged by other plants, 70% of us wouldn't notice it because its not something you expect and its not something the eye naturally looks for. BUT when its flowering, about 98% of us (and the general pot smoking...
