Thanks Rumple. I really appreciate you digging this up for me =). I found another couple of Lucas articles that were pretty fascinating - especially the one about how to design your grow area by working backwards from the amount of bud you want/need. But this is exactly what I was looking for.

My hydro unit is only in it's first week of growing and I did NOT start it out with this formula. I simply went with the guidelines that GH provided with the unit - and went half strength at that so as not to burn (only 300ppm to start). Think I should drain the res and start over? Or should I just add in nutes per this formula and let the ratios balance out over time as I bring the ppm up to full strength?
