2 rows 3 ladies deep with grodan blocks
2 Green Crack
2 Moby Dick
2 Purple Haze
73-76 degrees
600 Watt HPS

I'm currently flushing my system for 2 days (6 watering cycles) between my veg and flower cycles. I've heard it doesn't need to be done with organic nutrients, but I also understand GO isn't completely organic. I don't see an OMRI seal anywhere I just want to clear the medium of anything that may have built up over the last month of vegging. Anyway it didn't seem like a bad idea to flush, but this is my first hydro grow and I could be doing something wrong. Can anybody offer some advice? Pics below

    From reading at the Grodan site, top drip with adequate run off does not need flushing. With ebb and flow they reccomend top flushing with nutrient solution. They say that flushing with water is an unnecessary stress.
