Flushing?

Ok this isnt your typical question about flushing all i want to know is how often do you have to flush your medium after feeding your babies?

Like is it feed - flush - feed - flush or feed - feed - feed - flush

Does anyone have useful figures?

Guess i'll have to look through a book

your not talking about flushing... your talking about leaching which basically means feeding water until there is runoff. if you flushed every other watering then you would have no nutes in the soil and it would be a huge waste of $

Right?

So you leech before your next feed basically? Does flush mean to put 3x amount of water to the size of the pot?

My reason is i thort you had to get rid of excess salts and wondered how often you should do this and how to do this....

Im taking it now you Feed once, then when it dries out water with plain water untill no nutes are in the run off?

I use ebb/flow with Rockwool and Hydroton in netpots, I flush them out every 2 weeks. Builds up fast on the medium/rocks.

Thanks Mousey But unfortunately that info will have to be for someone else

Do you know how often to do this in soil?

2 times would be ideal i think. I only flush mine out once when there is 2 weeks left to flower, then i only use water.

Yeah, I've heard that once/month is good for soil so that works out to 2-3 times during the duration of your flowering.

Also, leech it out very well when moving from veg to flowering.
