When do you use Flora Kleen?

I like using the florakleen to start off yr flush, give it a good rinsing, and allow water to flow out, I put mine in the sink and run 2 gal of floraKLeen mixed water thru, then after that its just RO water until my trichs get to where I prefer them to be. I usually flush aprx a wk before, once I notice the trichs starting to cloud/slight amber...then it gives you the week or so to dial in yr preference on your trichs before you chop her down. that has worked for me in the past, with good results, hope it helps since I found many conflicting ways of using this stuff.

I used florakleen for final flushing on my last grow and it was by far the smoothest best tasting smoke i've grown to date..

here is exactly how i used it. First off I grow in soil and the exact words on the back of the bottle say... "For potting soil/soiless mixess ... 5ml florakleen to 1 gallon water in a watering can.. drench until runoff then resume regular feed or water schedule".

I do this.. I fill my 2.5 gallon watering can with 2 gallons of water and then I add 2 tsp (10ml) of florakleen. I then stick in an airstone and bubble the florakleen overnight.. the next day I ph the solution to 6.5 then immediately give it to plant.. The very next day I do the same exact thing. then I wait 2 days and run 5 gallons of 6.5 ph tap water through my 5 gallons of soil. Thats it.. thats the last water she will ever get.. then I let the soil go damn near bone dry and chop.


I like using the florakleen 2 days in a row.. dry out for a couple days.. then give it mass ammount of ph'd water.. dry out... harvest.

the whole flush from first flush to harvest takes me around 8 or 9 days.

When i use florakleen vs straight water I personally feel i can cut the flush in half from 14 days down to 7.

Huh. I use Florakleen every 12 days, and barely any for a flush.

My hydro plants get a 12 days of nutes (Monday to the following Friday), but then I give them ph'd water (to avoid swings) and Florakleen over the weekend to break down any salts that are building.

Also, I do a ten day flush, in hydro, where I use Florakleen (I just dump it in the bucket. A little more than a bit, but less than a splash, ya know?) only in the last four days. The regular water seems to draw out the green just fine.

I opted to use water for the first portion and use the Kleen for the very last 2 days because now it makes sense. While drinking only water they will use up what nutes they have stored, and when it's time to harvest, the Kleen will remove the final bits. That sounds the most practical. I had to think about it and hear other scenarios before I could understand well enough. Thanks everyone.

I imagine I could deprive the plants in the final days of flushing if I use the Kleen in the beginning of flush. I want the plant to have as much nutrients as possible, so I will not remove them while she sweetens up her fruit.
