I've got a drip system to 4 plants in smart pots growing in hydroton clay pebbles.. Im kinda down to a time constraint and was wondering if i could flush for just 5 days??? The most i can possibly flush is 6 days and i was wondering if i would get better results by waiting one more day...


I have changed the water 3 times already this week so they haven't been getting fed back the salts in the pump... Also i have cleaned out the tray and scrubbed out everythign so ive been trying to flush emm out real good... Besides normal watering i have drained out 2.5 gallon distilled water and flushed the shit out of them a few times just draining the waist into a sink?/

Let me know what you think i have antoehr post on this site of lots of pics.. They look so ready and have lots of amber and cloudy trichs

ya you should be good. I grow in hydro and only need a 5 day flush. a good trick is to brake a leaf off and lick the part that you broke, It should be full of clean liquid and really taste like nothing. if you taste any nutrient then flush longer.

Considering that if the buds are cured properly that no flush is needed, and considering a flush slows growth and lowers yield , then a 5 day flush is long enough.

Dude, Ive always heard that patients is key here..Cut a day here on the dry, cut a day (or week) on the cure there and now you get what you get...

good luck man...
