I'm at the flush phase and have been using the general hydroponics line of nutrients. I bought the kit that came with about 8 different bottles and have followed their suggested recipe. Anyone have experience with FloraKleen? Should I bother or just go with straight* water? This is a soil grow

you talking about the GoBOx? I have experience using that.....from what I have found out is using them type of "organic" type stuff, you have little to no salt build up, so you are basically pissing money away on using a flush product. just good pure 6.2-6.5 RO water, last two weeks, you will be grooving. late

ya the bottle says
'dissolves away accumulated fertilizer salts'
'releases nutrient bond between plant and system'

was wondering if it was gimmick-y or truly helpful. was looking to cut down this weekend so maybe this will help speed the process?

look at the ingredients on the back ..... You may find you can buy it from a chemist or as raw for less monies:)

The GO box does not come with florakleen.
The flora series performance pack does. So he is growing with chems, to which I say use the florakleen. I don't use it in organics but when I was growing with chemical fertilizer it did. I would use it at the beginning of my last week or 2 and then straight water til harvest.

Sorry to say good old H2O (de-nydratedred) water is the best, Recommend to flush 2 weeks for organic grows - and - 4 weeks for non-organic grows (advanced, canna, ect)

4 weeks?! That's nonsense to the fullest! You must over fertilize the shit outta your plants.

Whatever you do OP don't listen to that bs.

meaning that use water for that period of time - no watering till coming out of bottoms; just water plants. Know it's a bit much makes a little sense depending on type of nutrients used - but a good old 2 week flush is hard to beat

Yeah I understand you're not talking about a "flush" just watering as normal but with plain water, I get that and there is nothing wrong with that BUT, not for 4 weeks that's just crazy. I don't even give them a week in organics. I do that last watering and that's it. So maybe like 3-4 days of plain water. If I were to do chemical I would still on give them plain water for 1 week 2 at most.

Don't over feed your plants and cure the buds well and there is no need for flushing or 4 weeks with water alone. Again that's CRAZY.

Remember less is more

Sorry OP we got a little off topic, to answer your question, go ahead and use the florakleen. It won't hurt.

The best thing to do is run a control and a test subject and see which you like better at the end and then you'll know for yourself.

Not exactly wrong but even with bottled organics if you're not heavy handed than you don't have to flush either.

Good to know, I only do Living organic soil, I just heard an interview Kyle Kushman gave on his veganics line and he says to flush 2 weeks. My bad.

Agree even two weeks seems to much , lucky to get 1 week !!!! taking that into consideration nutrient use is always reduced in last week of late flower stage

Thanks for the info. You were correct, it is the performance pack. I did go ahead and use the FloraKleen. Went with half the recommended dosage which is what I did the whole grow for nutes. Ready to chop these things down! As far as off topic, I welcome any discussion. Now I understand what is going on in a 'flush'.

What I do is reduce the nute level from my high of say 1100 ppm in soil at week 6, down to 700 at week 8. I think that is more effective than a flush in soil. In hydro I do the same thing, reduce feed levels drastically at 6 weeks (on an 8 week plant), because the plant has enough nutes in it's root system to complete it's life cycle. The flush stuff in soil, will require exactly what it states, a flush, where I don't know about you, but I personally wouldn't want to flush a 8 week plant in soil. Remember, 3 times the pot size ( 3 gal pot=9 gal flush) fuck that shit.

Maybe you can answer another question for me. When watering I let the water sit over night to evap the chlorine. Is that still important during flush? It's hard to get that much water ready

Check your local water quality report. If your city uses chloramine like mine does then you'll need to filter it out because chloramine will not evaporate.
