how do you use Florakleen or any flushing agent for soil.

water is fine

Aren't these things you are supposed to use at the very end of the cycle to try and "flush" out unused nutes? I have used clearex, but as I said the plant was at the end of the cycle...so it doesn't matter if it has burnt tips or not...because in a few days I am going to pull it anyway, ya know...I don't see any reason to purchase such an item, but they sent me some free samples so I gave it a try...didn't see any difference in anything...haven't used it again since.

do you have to really add gallons and gallons of water after u use the floraclean or can u just use the floraclean 2 tbsp with 1 gallon of water.

basically without being too confusing is can i just use 2 tbsp of floraclean and 1 gallon of water for each one of my plants (they r in 7 gallon planters) is that suffient or does water need to be added more and more to continue to flush the floraclean out

that's basically what i've been trying to figure out. i did noticed that when i flushed i used less water to bring down ppms and raise ph. i guess it's like flushing with a low based fert, but just with carbs and sugar.

also this isn't just for flushing at the end of a plants life cycle, a lot of people use it for coco and some in soil due to heavy salt build up.

just saw this on another page asking the same question

i drench with it for tons of runoff and repeat every few hours for a day. and then a week or two of water. you need to run a lot of it through your medium to really flush it out. water alone can flush out loose nutrients but wont unbind anything from your roots or soil.

A good grower doesn't have 'heavy salt buildup' in their medium. If one learns to feed correctly, not only does one not need to 'flush' with expensive sugar water, but they can also reuse their medium.

i will take that as your opinion rather than fact, you dudes make me laugh. im pretty sure there are a some people would beg to differ and legitimately do so.

not to be funny, but i am looking for facts not your assumptions/opinions. on another note, i do agree with you about it being an expensive sugar water.
