Budding nutrients?

Using General hydroponics line in my 5 gallon single bucket Dwc system. I have used grow instead of just the Lucas formula during veg. Now I'm thinking since I am starting flowering should I switch to Lucas formula or go off this chart I found online still?

You can just buy Flora Nova Bloom and that's basically the Lucas Formula in one bottle. You can use that for veg and flower or buy Flora Nova Grow and use that for veg and Bloom for flower. I originally used the set and found it a pain in the ass with all the different bottles, going to just one bottle is great.

When I run out of Flora trio I plan to try new nutes. Might try advanced nutrients oh perfect as I'm sick of adjusting ph daily with GH.

I'd do some research on whether it actually can hold PH in DWC. Especially a 5 gal. I grew in a 5 gal for a year or two and boy is a smaller res like that a pain in the ass to keep your PH calm. Bigger res really helps that PH not fluctuate so much, I went to using plastic totes instead. I have a feeling it may make the PH good at first but once your plant starts eating and changing the levels of nutrients you'll still see fluctuations. My Flora Nova actually gets my PH to right about 6.3 which really isn't too bad, but as the res lowers the PH will change.
