Lucas micro/bloom vs floranova vs maxibloom?

Has anyone here tried all three methods of lucas formula? Do they all perform equally well? Which one do you prefer and why?
Thanks!

I've used all 3(plus all 3parts of floraseries) extensively over the years. I say Maxibloom, because it's way cheaper. Other than that: Same results

However, I never did like running lucas(micro/bloom) in veg. I use all three parts of the floraseries instead- 3/2/1. Or, maxigrow, or floranova grow.
Currently, i'm using floranova grow in veg(just for convenience). And maxibloom 15 days after flip until finished.

Thanks! So 7g/gal maxigrow for veg and 7g/gal maxibloom 15 days after flip would work aswell?

Also, have you tried the recommended 3part feed schedule from GHE?
If so, how did it compare to lucas in terms of yield?

What medium or setup are you growing in?

You know, i've never weighed out 7grams of the maxi, so I can't confirm that.
I go by EC.
An EC of around 1.7-1.8(max)works great in
Just about any type of setup I've ran, with any one of those GH lines.

I'm not so sure what the europe formula is with the Floraseries(im usa). Plus, there's many different feed scedules out nowadays.
I'm sure it would be fine. Just make sure and work your way up to around 1.8 EC, and you'll be good.

I like the floranova but the stuffs real thick. Gotta get a paint mixer for it.


They'll all work and allow your plants to grow. Just remember- less is more. and don't let them sell you on all of the supplements.
