doesnt matter, try to use rainwater for your flush if you can.

its well aerated and has minerals as well as being pH perfect.

How exactly does rainwater contain minerals?

as rain falls through the air and picks up particles on its way down, it collects minerals.
also remember all rainwater is evaporated from multiple water sources(ie lakes, ponds etc) and minerals are carried in both the stages of evaporation and precipitation.

never get acid rain down here, sorry i didnt say "dont use rainwater if you live in las vegas". and i guess my biology teacher was talking out of his ass huh?

I am a bit skeptical that rain can actually accumulate useable solids on its way down. Gases maybe...
It sounds like you are pulling shit out of thin air. Lol, sorry had to say it.

Does anybody go to school anymore? Or actually do any research on subjects like rain? Try a earth science book, horticulture lit., or something besides well I heard, or I don't believe. Even with "acid rain" which is true in certain places caused by volcanoes erupting, or downwind from an old coal fired electrical plant, there isn't alot of that left these years.
You would be hard pressed in soil to affect the ph of a container plant anyway in the time you are flushing. Another point is if you are flushing you are not pouring the water over the leaves and buds anyway, Oh I forgot you are flushing a plant in soil, guess these folks could be pouring it over their plants.

i know what your saying, i come on here and say a simple fact and people say im talking out of my ass. go on google and do research before you go off on someone who tries to give simplistic information, stop questioning them and do some homework you lazy cynical bastards.

I neither urinate on my plants nor do I use tap water. That's just plain silly.

Tbot,
Flush in the morning if you are going to flush at all.
What stage is your plant in?
Sometimes it can make a stressful situation worse, be sure to end your flush with 1/2 strength nutes, b vitamin dose, and a foliar spray.
I would recommend Drip Clean made by House & Garden, it prohibits the buildup of salts making a flush rarely necessary.

i dont think the time you flush it matters really, and i dont think it needs any more nutes if its burned. foliar spray isnt necessary and should be avoided in flower if you dont want a higher chance of mold problems. and drip clean is another flushing agent thats mostly composed of water, pretty expensive/unnecessary for my taste.

The time you flush does indeed matter because you don't want a soaking wet pot to go right into the night cycle. Research ideal plant metabolism conditions and you will find plants like to be fed/watered in the morning to properly utilize. Excessive RH humidity spikes during the night cycle is also avoided by doing this.
He never stated he had burn, yellow spots and purple stems aren't indicative of burn.
Foliar sprays are most useful when there is a disruption in root uptake such as in a flush, cloning, transplants, stress, etc., and he also never stated what stage of growth he was in, so there may be buds, there may not be buds, who knows until he tells us. Assuming such things isn't the best way to diagnose and help people with their plant trouble.
Drip Clean is mostly composed of water you are right, what is suspended in this water is what is more important. Most nutrients have a water base so this is an irrelevant point. Not too expensive for most people at $17.00 and is applied @ 0.4mL/Gal. Beats the time and energy it takes to flush. The high Phosphorous level will also aid in resin production.

never had a problem flushing at night, been growing for years. and theres plenty of root uptake in a transplant, they're still taking in nutes. and if theres yellow spots and purple stems id say its a calcium deficiency or potash. drip clean is probably the same flushing agent every company sells, just another additive for the person who believes plants need a whole bunch of synthetic shit that probably doesnt occur in nature.

"drip clean is probably the same flushing agent every company sells" the level of assumptions is shocking. Like you said its mostly water, so how synthetic can it be......
Anyways, unless one is growing outside we are not in nature and sometimes have to use supplements that don't occur in nature to match the unnatural environment most of us are growing in.
Pizza doesn't occur in nature but I love that shit.
