Flushing Properly DWC

[ivankov 20]

Is this considered flushing properly?

Standalone dwc. 5 Gallon buckets. 4 Gallons of solution. I mixed up a 450ppm bloom solution.

Now what? Do I top with water daily? Do I maintain the ppm's at 450 if it goes down each day?

Aloha ivankov, If the EC goes up add pH corrected water, if the EC goes down add nutrient. It is best to change solution at the end of the week.

sorry i never used DWC man so don't know what the best is

But i'm sure that will be fixed, already a piece of answer with oldermarine

good luck

if it hits around 200 ppm is there still enough reverse osmotic pressure?

[ivankov 20]

Do you mean if it is right to flush with 450ppm?

If i got it wrong i would listen at Oldmarine. Good answer

yea is that a good ppm to flush with?

[oldemarine 233]

Yes that would work fine. You could even use a little bit higher but not over 1 ec

Aloha Tokage, I have always noticed that plants tend to do better without radical changes of the pH and nutrient solution. I try to do things in a gradual way like dealing with fish in a small aquarium. Have you heard in Hawaii there is a Stairway to Heaven?

Thanks everyone, GREAT INFO!!

So do you think flushing with low ec solution is better than a product like florakleen or other flushing solutions?

Also I read the dry and wet cycle in the root zone helps increase ripeness. Im in DWC should I still try to do a dry and wet cycle during flush?

how do you flush???..with water not food. why flush if your adding what your trying to get out of there??..i dont get that. the meaning of a flush is to remove foods

and if your talking about end of the grow final flush...again water does the same as all them products out there. most are mag or sugar and charge for it. and they do nothing. flushing agents are a money grab by the nute co

read it. dont totaly agree. water works just as easy and as well in any medium. problem is most follow recipes and over feed all the time so it takes longer to wash it out at the end. if you do a small bit of run off each time we feed or water and use right ec for the plants needs and the room conditions then food shouldnt ever build up as he claims and need all this attention to a flush. ive tried alot of them and havent tested any diff.
