Im glad I stumbled upon this thread. Just learned a lot. I haven't flushed once yet. This is my first grow so at first I started using tap water. (I know bad) Then I switched to filtered water and have been using a tdm tester to make sure its good. About halfway through my veg cycle I started feeding my plants nutes. So at about day 39 into flowering, would it be good to do a flush now, or just wait until 2 weeks to harvest. And if now, should I use somthing like Flora Kleen, or only use that before harvest?

Ive got another grow that I started and im just about ready to flower so I will be flushing next time I water!
drew225 Reviewed by drew225 on . flushing To flush or not to flush, that is the question. My last 2 harvests i flushed with clearex one week before harvest. During that last week, just ran pHed water thru the system. This harvest i am considering not using clearex but rather gradually reducing the nutrient mix during the final weeks and then just water for a couple of days. Any opinions would be appreciated.
