I'd flush it for a day or two with "clear", and keep an eye on the ph levels because it often makes them spike, but is very manageable.

I flushed my buckets several times to get as much of the nutrients as possible out of circulation then ran just ph'd water for 24 hours. The plants definitely responded well but my ph still drops way too fast. It went from 6.1 to 5.0 in less than 24 hours. So frustrating...

I found that the cheaper ph up and down solutions were less stable and started to use a concentrate. Saw a very noticeable difference right away. It lasted longer too because I used a lot less of it.

That's the first I've heard of there being a difference in ph up/down. I will definitely look into this. Much appreciated.
