    Help flush

    Is there anything I can use to help flush tht I could get at home depot or Walmart???

    I'm not sure you understand flushing, the only thing you do when you flush is use plain, nothing added water. The ONLY thing you should do is PH it to the proper range for your medium. http://www.growweedeasy.com/flushing

      Unless you mean as a method of applying your water, as in a hand water grow I did I found it was pretty easy to setup a small irrigation system out of hose and 5 gal jugs.

    Actual flushing/stripping is achieved with a flushing product....

    A rinse is plain water...

    Flush...to get rid of built up salts in medium

    Rinse...to correct a ph problem or inbetween feedings to help use up nutes in medium

    Not sure what either one of those places would have...
    try calling them and landscape company or a garden center...maybe the..........internet....

      Flushing is the technique used to eliminate the nutes in the bud in the last two weeks of flowering, right?

      Shit people call either one the same thing...yes plain water at end of flowering to use up nutes

      Throughout whole grow they need stripped of all the salt build up...using a product...plain water will not do the job good enough.....and then also during last week of flower as well use it at least twice...it has no npk value so the mix will also act as water to use up nutes....

      Call either one what you want...but use both correctly...

    For a flush you need a ppm meter. You need a LOT of water with the lowest ppm you can find. Then pour water with the right PH in the pot and measure the ppms of the runoff until it reaches les than 100. All has to be done in less than 20 minutes otherwise roots can drown. Plan water will get rid of he salts trapped in the soil

      Water will not get as much salt out without a stripper...

      Water will get some out but not near as much...

      You will notice extreme salt residue on pot drainage holes after you do strip it....

      Plain water leaves salt residue as well but as we all have noticed it builds up over time....this is right now action....next day thick layer of crust will be there...

      Not trying to argue...just talking from experience.....

      There are diferent products but they are not the only option. You can feed right until harvest flushing with a bottled product. Otherwise everyone else uses plain water
