Hey, has anyone heard of flushing your plants in mid bloom? My neighbor was at the hydro shop the other day and they were telling him to use this particular flushing fluid to clean out the salt build up in the middle of the plant.
Any one heard of such a thing?

Sounds odd & kinda scary to me. Clearex will clean out the salt build up very nicely.
Maybe he was talking about FloraKlean. I use that about 2 hours before every res change and the purpose is general clean-up and removal of salt build-ups. After I put in the Floraklean I let it work for an hour or so and then get a couple of pong cups full and rinse the netpot from above.
All of the nute brands sell a "flush" mix. I haven't used them, just don't believe in paying for water. I am sure they work but I just use water to flush out. Use 3-5 times the pot volume to flush. Not sure why you need to flush in mid bloom. Maybe the hydro dude was thinking it was for the end of bloom.
I would not use a flushing fluid in mid bloom. Use it the last few days before the plant gets cut. If anything flush the plant with normal watering water that is nute free.
Interesting. MC, every res change? Sounds like it kind of loosens up whatever salts are building up.
Most of the fertilizers in the plant are in the form of salts... so you don't really want to remove them until final harvest flush. I think ebb&flow systems are more prone to salt buildup on the medium, which could burn the roots, thus the clearex flush. Since Deep Water Culture is primarily DWC, you pretty much wash out the evaporated salts with a good cleaning of the tub... which you should do at every tank change anyway.
