I have some nute burn so I am flushing in an ebb n flow system with distilled water. My run out PH is higher than the reservior PH. Am I correct in assuming that the point of flushing is to have the Run out ph and reservior ph the same and if I do that, then I can properly flush.


Do you all recomment feeding full stregnth nutrients after flushing or half? I am going to flush for about a day, is that long enough?


Oh yeah and I'm about 4 weeks into flowering so I'm like freaking out, my plants havent gotten yellow and brown around the edges of the leaves and kinda stopped growing.


THANKS FOR THE HELP:peace:

Flushing for a day won't hurt anything, and is a good idea to do regularly. If you use distilled water, which has a pH of 7.0, you should lower the pH to 5.6 before it goes to your plants.

If the pH of your solution is higher directly after flooding, it means that your medium pH is higher than your res, and you should lower the pH of your res, so as to lower the pH of your medium.

4 weeks into flowering is time to stop feeding SuperThrive, since that's a growth vitamin/hormone elixir.
