Hi guys, can't find an answer to this. I've noticed when I add 2ml of canna flush to tap water my pH drops to 3.5. just wondering if I should be bringing it back up to the normal range I feed at around 5.8?
Growing in coco going for the final flush.

I brought it up before and people thought I was joking, but if you're going to flush why not just lockout the nutrients? What's the difference?

what do you need to use this product for?

what do you believe it does?



Why do you say that bud?

because approx 60% of people have never seen a plant that’s actually ready to harvest as most of them harvest approx 10-14 days sometimes 21 days too early.

Your flushing agent is snake oil that is designed to take some money out of your bank account and put it in the fertiliser company's bank account. As said Flushing is a myth, purest bro science. As already said you grow will have at least another couple of weeks. The concept of flushing only exists in the Cannabis growing world, in the history of horticulture there is no other crop that employs it as a valid method. It is an idea that was made up by someone in the mid 90s and has continued.

What you are better off doing is steadily reduce the amount of nutrient you give over a couple of weeks.

Flushing is a myth, and not supported by science.
I didn't want to get into myths just wanted a simple answer to do I have to pH this flush solution up to normal range.
Didn't think this would be too hard to answer as said many times tapering down is the way.

It was answered. Don't use the product.
Basically no one knows then if it should be ph'd or not regardless if it should be used or not.

It's bugging me just want to know if it should be ph'd so I can try it on some and some not to see if there's a difference.

If people can't answer then why post

Definitely give it to your plants at 3.5 pH. I mean the directions say mix with water and flush, right?

I would put that percentage up around 80%
I caught a bunch of dirty looks over on the Cannarado thread for going beyond the 60 to 65 day recommended flowering time. The plants were at 11 weeks and I said they still needed a little time, and they were all, "wtf are you doing?! Noooo! Couchlock! Nooo!"

It was bizarre. I still love them though.

Think of it like this.

if you had a nutrient solution that was sitting at 3.5pH would you still feed at that pH level?

There’s your answer.

If you’re growing in coco the best “flushing” agent you can get is weak nutrient solution.
