DWC flush

[abadtrip]

I was wondering how many gallons of just ph water do u let your plant drink before u harvest it.

I usually flush for about two weeks.

In DWC? my nute secudal says 2 days wow now u am really worried

 

[Burny]

Just to throw this into the mix: I've been reading articles against flushing because they say it causes the wrong kind of stress at the end. Also learned that if I have not been over-feeding all along, THAT is a continual flush of sorts.

Check out this information:

I'm still researching this, but I would like to see some scientific evidence on the value of the final flush...

Interesting I don't Eva run full nutes I am at about 80 percent I will just follow the 2 days of a heavy sugar daddy mix and 3 flush I hope when I get home today I can start this.

I like the idea of finding the right amount of nutrients in the minimal amount, so I'm experimenting.

What brand do u use. Mine came with the same mix chart for a gal and 4 liters so I mix in metric because a gal is only 3.76 l I use 33 l and mix for 30l in my system every week the plants drink about 22 l. but if i uses the imperial I would have nutes in there for 32 liters I know it's not much. But I tried to be as accurate as I could I use a set of glass graduating cylinders to measure out my nutes.

Flush with a res full of pH'd water with your hydroguard for 2-3days for DWC. DO NOT PUT SUGAR INTO A DWC.

No Title

Sugar daddy is a nutrient not sugar I have been using it since day 1

I have been using AN pH trio and other AN supplements on my two current grows. I never go over 50% recommended dose, usually less.

 

[abadtrip]

And how is that going for you? i would love to use less save some money.

You mean you haven't seen the mighty Growzilla?!

abadtrip We all know pure sativas need less nutes, but it's going great with my hybrids, too. I don't see any signs of deficiency.

Aloner I've created a MONSTER!!!!

 

[abadtrip]

That's awsome

 

[Aloner]

When it takes over a city, we'll all know who's to blame!

 

[Tazard]

LOL sry, but 2-3D is plenty.

 

[Burny]

Why flush at all? Couple of days isn't going to change anything.

 

[abadtrip]

I think it would if a plant drinks 20 l a week I think it drinking 10l would do somthing

Flush time varies from 0 to 3 weeks depending on how the medium holds the nutrients. In DWC you change 99% of the medium. In super soil you don't use added nutrients during grow. In soil (longest) it holds nutrients. Coco falls in between. In any flush soon as leaves show stress (yellowing) she is done.
Hope this helps.
