...the obvious answer is the ec/tds will be much lower w/ the reverse osmosis water. The EC/TDS is the electrical conductivity or total desolved solids in your water or elements or fertilizers. In hydro, I flood my bed with clearex for 1 hour, then flush w/ RO and sweet.

Bottle water.. what the hell are you going to use Evian?
Use the RO, a flush means no nutes. RO will take out your taps nutes.. Viola.

I read somewhere on this forum it's better to use a real small amount of nutes to flush, just my 2cents

I like getting the Distilled water from the grocery store. comes out at 1 ppm. label says reverse osmosis, carbon filtration and some kind of uv light process. Bout as pure as you can get.
I usually Flush for two days with straight distilled and watch the ppm it'll usually shoot up to 150 or so. I then change the water and repeat the process another time or two and then for the rest of the two weeks I use a product called The Final Flush from grotek. Nice clean smoke.

Can you explain why?I read somewhere on this forum it's better to use a real small amount of nutes to flush, just my 2cents
Doesn't make sense to me since the whole point of flushing is to remove ALL nutes prior to harvest to have the cleanest smoke possible
