Flushing

afkush said:

I've got a little bubble kit from SH and it's getting close to harvest time... I'm assuming I should empty the water/nutes in the reservoir now and replace it with clean water (no nutes) which will flush nutrients and whatnot out of the plants so everything tastes good, correct?

The reason I ask is that I've seen some sites say I should get some flushing fluid stuff (I saw it at the local hydro supply store, too) that I add to the water in place of nutes, but others say just plain clean water will work fine. I can't find a whole lot of info in the forums either (I've found things that specifically say they will cover flushing, but don't). I'm also guessing this same practice should be done with hydroponic kits (i.e. with a waterfarm drip kit)?

Thanks in advance

not all bottled water is reverse osmosis, it has to say it is, mine says de-mineralized. the bottle should have a ppm rating on it and my RO says <10ppm while bottled water is 250-500ppm depending on the bottle. using a flushing product isnt nescisary but if you do some reasearch its supposed to help the plant use up nutes that are otherwise locked up inside it.
