I'll elaborate a bit if you don't mind.... my understanding is rinsing or flushing at the end of a hydro grow (not sure about soil) is supposed to help the plant use up any remaining stored nutrients. This is desirable since unused nutrients can adversely affect odor and flavor! And while water is very good, the rinsing agents are designed to bind with the nutrients and purge them (along with other undesirable things). So using a rinsing agent may be a very good idea. I'm honestly not sure if this helps - but i usually flush with a rinsing agent for about 3-5 days then the last 2-4 days i use plain water - depending on how long i flush.

And if you noted the idea that unused nutrients are undesirable, then you'll also understand the importance of keeping the nutrient level as low as possible (while giving the plant all of the nutrients it needs and desires) which is quite the balancing act!

alright, well i'm on the way out the door right now to get a small thing for flora kleen. i'm pretty sure i can scrape up $9. I will be flushing for anywhere between 9-14 days, depending on if she looks ready or not.

I thought that was a vitamin for growing/making roots?
I am going to start flushing in 3 weeks with GH FloraKleen
going to run that for a full week then plain water till trich color is as desired.

That's what I thought as well, thus why I wanted another opinion. He said it also helps with plant shock but what do I know lol.

There is some truth that it will shock the plant. But i'd rather not shock it - just let it do its thing.

alright well I'm back from the store. They were all out of flora kleen but they had a replacement. It's called Clearex by Botanicare, they said its the same thing.

I've weened it down from 1700 PPM and gradually have set it to 700PPM. Is it good to just go ahead with flushing with distilled water and clearex?

Yeah I was using 1700 PPM for awhile when it was using its Max nutes. I was going at full strength with the nutrient calculator. Didn't ever really have a problem with nute burn, if I did I would add a gallon or two of water. I am using tap water from my bath tub, it's PPM is 200.
