Flush every 10 days

Hey guys, I have some questions about flushing throughout the cycle. On one side of my room I have 5 flood tables and the other side is 8 monster 5 gallon buckets. I do a res change every 7-10 days but haven't been doing flushes.

Want to get peoples different opinions, How often should I flush and what is the proper method to flush. I have florakleen, so when I flush with the florakleen do I have to drain the water again to flush out the "flush" solution if that makes sense. Or can I just add nuts to the flush water?

so drain old nuts, add new water with flush and then run the flush and then use the same water? Doesn't make sense to me, but someone told me I can use the flush solution.

If I have to drain and fill everything 2x that is over 100 gallons of water, maybe 200. (55, 25, 25, 20 gallon res)

You can have great results without flushing, it helps remove excess salt build up so it's not a bad idea. Keeping everything fresh every week or so should keep you in good shape. You can do a small flush 5, 10 gallons 3 or 4 times for a day to several times for a few days. But take the extra step Not to use the flush water you've gone to all this trouble what's one more step.

Don't over do your nutes and there is no need to flush to get rid of salt buildup because it won't exist!:clap:
 
thanks for the reply guys, we are in like week 4 of flower in the flood tables and like week 2 of buckets. We are trying to push the plants to the limits (obviously not over do it) and a couple of the plants are showing signs of burn. One of the problem is we have different strains going, sour diesel, train wreck, pineapple extress, blue bull and alice in wonderland. So it is hard to get it right for all the plants when they are sharing the same res.

Pineapple def is a sensitive plant
