Default Flushing with Aerogarden, need advice

I am going to cut my girls down in about a week (long story, i'll get to why later) They look just about done, at least one i know for sure..

I know i have to rid my plants of all the bad tasting nutes, but how do i go about doing that with the AG.. This is my first hydroponic grow, so im pretty much lost at this stage...

from what ive read i guess i should just change the water every day??? or is it more like many times a day???

You can flush now. Everybody does it different I flush my rez twice on the last week before harvest with fresh water. With aeroponics one flush should be good as there is no medium to hold salts. However like I said everybody does it different.

Okay, i flushed my girls, and even gave my roots a gentle squeeze... I notice the roots on one of my babies (the one that slowed growing) and its beginning to rot... Im guessing because i had to remove two males, and/or because i broke one of my airstones and never got a new one....

Anywho, tonite i plan on replacing the rez again tonite, and on thurs, i was gonna just drain out the water completly...

Has anyone ever flushed like this before hydroponicallt? Draining the water completly out a day before harvest?

Don't touch the roots you have bacteria on your hands and handling the roots can stress your plants. I like tho have healthy plants at harvest its harder to trim dead or dying foliage.

Its kinda too late for that... My leaves have been burnt by the lights on numerous occasions... but the buds are still nice and full... im just tired of the maitenence for now... ive learned alot about indoor growing and now its time to hit the outdoors while i still have time... thanks for the help man, i really appreciate it... im cutting my girls down in about a hour.
