There are 2 kinds of hydro flushing, & dirt flushing.

One kind of hydro flushing is in the final few weeks of bud, using clear water insteads of nute solution to "flush out" any fertilizers/chemicals in the plant. Self explanatory as to how to do it.

The other hydro flushing is simply doing the clear water thing for a day to clean out the pipes, then going back to food solution. Also self explanatory.

Dirt flushing is pouring water through your soil to "flush out" hot spots, overfertilization, noxious chemicals, etc. Use 3x your soil volume of clear water, minimum. I.e., flush a 5 gal bucket of soil with at least 15 gallons of clean water. Be gentle. You dont want to dump 15 gallons on a plant in the span of 5 minutes. Your soil will be waterlogged for a few hours/days afterward; your plant will prolly look worse before it looks better.
