:shock::shock:

You scare me flo haha, my plants are in your hands :lol: Well i guess desperate times call for desperate measures!

Edit: They havent really drank any and i think it will drop the ph too low if i add that much :\
When they are older you will be adding more again :) trust me. that will not upset ph, if anything. and if it does, just add a drop of what you need, but usually food wont mess it up, they should be balanced so they even out at the right level.

But depends on experience with coco and the nutrient... I stick to canna coco medium and canna coco a+b nutes. If you read cannas guide to growing in coco the only time it says to flush is the final 2 weeks of flowering

I can go a whole grow in coco with not flushing once and get no lockout or deficencies or salt build up. Only reason i do flush is more preventitive than needing to do it like it needed to be done .. Must be the coco they were using or they were not doing it correctly flowie
I agree with you, there are alot of lazy people out there, i asked my mate once if he flushed, he said he did, i checked his res.....filthy, it made me angry, do you think he even changes his feed lines? or airstone? nope. its sad what some people will think is ok. Usually the quality of coco wouldn't determine salt build up, it's usually the nutrient quality/temperature/climate. Oh and feed times

saying that, you must flush enough :) or when needed, look i probably dont have to flush it as much as i do, but i keep getting really nice results, so i cant change on that part ;), i love the smell of fresh nutes and i never consider it a chore. i feel like a mad scientist when i do my mixing and measuring. i could nearly go ooohhh ahhha ha hahaha ah ah ohh ohh ah aha hahahaha :p i'll have crazy grey hair and glasses soon
the thing about salt build up IS to prevent it, because salt is salt, and once it start to get made, it multiplies quickly, salt sticks and builds up to what....salt :) so cleansing regularly is only beneficial, and never a bad thing

I can't explain why that is. Flushing is one of those never proven kind of ideas, not a written rule. Cyco's old feed charts never had flush until the end also, now they have it every week.
I say regular flushing can really help with the end flush, as there is so much less chance of there being salt build up on roots/medium. BUT salt is never proven to even make the end product bad, only to how effective the plant uptakes nutrient, if there is too much ofcourse the toxicity will increase the roots will be literally growing on salt :( preventing it is the key
