Unsure how to flush plants

So I have been using GH nutrients and following the feeding schedule at a quarter to half of the nutes. Now I'm on the flush stage and unsure how to flush the plant properly. I have GH florakleen clearing solution and it says to use 1-2 tablespoons per gallon. Now I'm using coco as a medium and have a dish under the plant to hold water for the plant would this change how I would flush the plant out and also they grew really really tall over 5ft would this effect how long I would flush the plant for.

Thanks for the help in advance
 
Hey there greenpumpkinking. You want to flush your plants about a week before harvesting when using coco as a medium. Here is a full page of info on flushing cannabis (which is nothing more than cutting off all nutrients before harvest and giving the plant ONLY pHed water): http://www.growweedeasy.com/flushing...before-harvest

Some highlights from that page that apply to you are:

"So in soil or coco coir, the grower would give the plant just plain water for days or weeks before harvest time. This lets the plant use up the nutrients in the soil/coco, and then - theoretically - start leaching extra nutrients from the buds."

"Coco Growers Flush ~1 Week - Coco coir does not hold onto a lot of extra nutrients and just a watering or two with plain water will wash most nutrients away. Therefore growers utilizing coco coir should only flush their plants from a few days to about a week, depending on how fast the plant is turning yellow."

"Clearing" or "Salt Leaching" Solutions
These products are formulated to help remove extra minerals or salts when flushing the plant, which may reduce the chance that these leftover minerals or salts end up altering the smell or flavor of your buds.
They're meant to be used if you've been giving your plants extra nutrients in their water. They aren't necessary when the plant has been getting all its nutrients from the soil.
