After you get almost all of the solution, you could pour fresh water in to further dilute what's left. Then just pump that out. I have to do this when my plants are in a net. 2 cents

My comment below reminds me that I do kinda flush my res when in a net. But that's still not the roots, just to dilute what couldn't be pumped out. Right now it's just bucket changes.
I just did a change the other night and at week six, ec 1670, went down to 1423 the next day but barely any water missing. We'll see what it is tonight

So pH began dropping rather quickly, I have topped off with RO & pH Up. You can see in the attached pic, that the pH tends to drop between top offs. I found that when the ppm was higher, that pH tended to be much more stable.Does this indicate if they are taking more nutrients vs water or vice-versa??
ppm is now about 400
I also noted what looks like minor bleaching of a few of the tops that are directly under the lights. Does this indicate that the leaf cupping may actually be heat related?

Thanks again.
in the home stretch, so now it's clear that i'm having both light and heat issues. This is not new, and not too severe. A few tops directly under the lights are crisping a bit. Also, seeing a little bleaching in the tips of a few buds.
Should I attempt bending them away from the light? Should I reduce the light to 10 on 14 off?
Temp never gets past 80, typically is a few degrees below that. They are just too close to the light.
Moving up lights is not an option. But I've been studying up on LST ing more agressively on my next grow.

So today is the last day of week 8 (from 12/12 flip).
I'm going to take some digital microscope pics of trichomes to post tomorrow.
Given that this is my first grow - anyone want to take a guess how long these girls have left?
Breeder says 8 weeks for one strain and 9 for the other (White Widow Original and White Widow XTRM from AMS).
Because the foliage is SO thick, the lower buds are really under-developed compared with the tops. Since most of my top leaves are semi crispy, should I liberate any of them to improve light and air to leaves underneath that don't have light burn? There is no shortage of leaves here.
Thanks!

So, after reading about the pros and cons of the 2-stage harvests, I decided to go with a combo of agressively lsting for all tops directly under the light, and ultimately needed to supper crop 2 tops. Trikes are clear and cloudy, almost no Amber yet - this is the primary reason I decided to hold off.
my best guess is that I will let them go for another 1 to 2 weeks depending on what the trikes tell me.
I need advice on how to flush. How long, when to start and what to use. I have clearex and I have been using hydroguard throughout the grow. And I use RO so ppm starts at 0, and it is really sensitive to pH swings, any advice on pH buffering for RO based flush are also appreciated.
Will post trike pics soon.
Thanks!
