Flushing phase

[cufix]

Hi,

I'm about to flush my plants because they are at the end of their budding cycle.

Do I have to check waters pH and reduce it to 6 (or what if using coco) if necessary? Or can I just flush it with water directly from pipe?

Thanks

I use RO water to flush which is 6.5pH, I have also used tap water @ 7pH, with tap water you are flushing whatever is in the tap into the plant, so if it's high in ppm I would use RO water. I use RO water with GH Florakleen first 3 days, and then just RO water the last 5-7 days total of 8-10 days in hydro/coco.

Ok I don't have RO water, so tap should do its job. So I don't have to reduce my taps water pH?
I'll start 7 days before harvest and will water every day with only tap water till harvest. I hope that will do.

If you can't afford to go get some distilled water or spring water to flush em with then you can use faucet/tap water, but it is always a good idea to adjust the PH even if you are close to chop.

It's not about what I can afford and what I cannot.. I just thought it's a bit waste buying destilled water at rate 0,4€/L and I would need like 175L of it. So that would be 70€ for flushing? It would be way cheaper and probabbly 100% more efficient if I would get myself "Flawless finish" - from Advanced Nutrients (I'm using their products from the base), that should do it.
