Hence.. the reason for flushing!!

Not everyone uses fully organic nutrients... making flushing for some people a necessity.

I've always understood this.. I've just been trying to avoid misconceptions that seem to be stemming from this thread.

Fully Organic Nutrients = Optional Flush
50/50 Organic/Synthetic Nutrients = Should be flushed (Can use a clearing solution.)
Fully Synthetic (eg. D.N.F or Advanced Nutrients) = Must Flush

If flushing was a myth, they wouldn't make products designed specifically for removing excess salts from the medium before harvest.

P.S.
I wouldn't worry to much about the Rep here.. it's only for "fun". Within the first week of it being enabled... I was at -165 points.. you can disable it if you'd like by going to options in your "User CP."

BobBong Reviewed by BobBong on . WHEN TO FLUSH I'm guessing about the next watering before the third nute treatment. What do you guys think? More or less? I could probably find out by experimenting, but thats too cruel for the plant. Rating: 5
