i guess last question is... how much water should i flush my 3gals with? gonna do it when i wake up. i have about 10 gallons on hand so im good with that.
Depends on how well the soil drains and what size pots you have.
In my 2 gallon grow bags I only need to use 2 quarts of water to get 1 quart of run-off.
Just pour slow until it start running out. In a 3 gallon pot I would shoot for about a half gallon to a gallon of run-off if you are trying to do a good flush.
Just my two pennies. I am not a very seasoned indoor grower, and you rarely need to flush outdoors, lol.
