Final week flush

I've looked around a bit about ph'ing my water and am seeing a lot of mixed responses on this. I just want to hear what riu'ers have to say on the topic. I only ro water through all stages, I'm in aeroflo 36's,have some florakleen, and I want to flush for 5-7 days. Do I need to ph the ro water? Do I need to ph with florakleen and when/how long should I run it for. I thought I might go florakleen for the first 2 days and flip to straight ro. Any insight will be appreciated. Thx:peace::bigjoint:

Maintain normal watering schedule and Yes keep the ph within propper range. I don't usually flush, I usually run less nutes and top up with water only the last week. So it's super diluted weak solution.

I have diluted my solution down to 400, just not sure about not flushing. Think I maybe on another grow I could try this. This run I am going to flush, it'll make for a good comparison. I know that there are different believes and methods when it comes to this. Any other hydro guys/gals care to chime in with your practice?

..I would recommend a good flush. 2-3 days with floraclean then 10 days of RO would be optimal.

Cool, that's what I'm talking about. Don't want to start ant wars, like I said, just want to see how growers are doing things here. Thinking a day or two of the florakleen then 5-7 of ro. I would like to see a poll of how many people flush and how many don't.
