I wouldn't say if you needed to flush due to a build up of salts that 1gal of water would be all you'd need. I'm just saying you would use less water to achieve your goal.
Most of the gallon of water will just run off the sides, or find a hydrophobic road straight out of the pot resulting in wasted water.
Pouring a little at a time will let the soil get wet. Once the soil is wet it can be flushed of the excess salts with the next phase of water passing through.
Using a bit of dawn in your water can help as a wetting agent.
thanks bro!
