And Zandor talks about using a flushing product like Flora clean. Do you know any benefits of using that? Thanks again
I'm unfamiliar with Flora or GH products, but FF sells a rinse that worked quite well. The FF product is called Sledge Hammer, it uses an organic Yucca extract as it's active ingredient.
The last few times I've been trying another product that has been hard to find in my area, Elevation Organics "Desert Nectar". I like the fact that both use the Yucca extract, and neither will do any damage to the microbial activity in the soil. The Desert Nectar also has a bit of humic acid as well. (a plus) Both do a good job.
I'm not saying the other products don't do well, but I haven't found any specifics on their ingredients, and like the "organic" approach.

As Emilya says, the FF nutes NEED to be flushed. Using the two products above have made the process pretty simple. When I first began using them, I would evaluate the effectiveness of the flush by taking ppm readings of the runoff. Without the "rinse" products, the volume of water needed for an effective flush was significantly more.

Just noticed this is in the hydro section, drew225! Hope we don't piss anyone off.
