Hydroponics

All right! Hydroponics is what I know, and hydroponics is the way I grow!

This forum will be great, we can discuss anything hydro. No dirtbags here, We haul water!

We can compare the different nutrient salts, and all of the additives. Plus the kinds of soilless media and what irrigation system is best for each. And of course, pH and TDS measuring equipment, feeding and flushing, etc.

And all the while, we'll make fun of those guys hauling big bags of dirt!

I can't think of any questions right now, what do YOU want to know?

How often do you have to flush the water in a hydro system?

Depends on the system bro I've done plenty of no flush grows and believe me I was dead against it for a long time until I started using Lucas's formula and recommended addbacks. you would think of course that some of the element salts would build up to toxic levels but it really doesn't come into play as you would thing when you properly manage your nutrient solutions. I will still recommend especially for beginners res changes every two weeks but not before that is only wasting nutrients as well as adding extra waste to the environment.
