are you in hydro?

I am not a big fan of flushing, why starve the plants? I usually give one day or two tops, but change the water 6 or 7 times over that day and keep the water running as much as possible - you could do this for a day and that will clean the plant as much as it needs to in my opinion - as such I test it, when the water from tap is the same EC as in the tank after running it for a while, its job done

Treat your grow as a collective not perplant, flushing the other plants when they should be recieving pk is a no no to me, hydro gardens should be using clones for this exact reason.

can you detach the ones that are ready and hand water them to completion? I run coco as well but it's on a hand water setup due to the differing strains I run. Hope there's something you can do to help with them mate smile.gif

yeah mate - if you use a wilma you can do what i am doing this weekend in fact. I have ce which is done Sunday, and Mango which needs a couple more weeks I reckon. I am pulling the drippers out of the mango Saturday morning and will spend all day changing the water, and only feeding the ice with tepid PH'd water. I will hand water the Mango for the day. Chop Sunday the job is a gooden and back to normal for the rest to finish.

i know flushing is the norm - check a few of the top guys on here, they do not recommend long flushes at all.
