SunShine#4 Users... Let's Chat
I would say that under some conditions, there really is no need to flush.

I would think you'd be shunned by other growers for not draining out most soil-like mediums...but for some reason SunShine seems to work fine without drainage. Can anyone else tell us about their experiences with the medium? Everything I have learned is that drainage is essential for proper flushing, however I just read a huge Rating: 5
