Did you rinse the hydroton with ph'd water before you used it? The point of the flush is to get left over nutrients out of the plant, it makes for a better tasting and smelling end product. It also will take you less time to properly cure. You pretty much have the idea of it, the last 7-10 days you usually just run ph'd water through your system. There are other things you can still use during flush but we'll leave that for another time.:thumbsup:
